FAQs
Use the hexagon crimp or solder termination as specified for the E1049-26. Ensure conductors are properly prepared and crimped with the correct tooling or perform the solder joint per the installation instructions. Verify connector seating and engage any locking features to prevent unintentional disconnection during equipment operation.
The E1049-26 is rated for up to 1135A continuous current, accepts 777 kcmil conductors, and provides a voltage rating of 1000 Vac/dc. It is a male connector designed for Roughneck assemblies and supports hexagon crimp or solder terminations with a white rubber housing and copper contacts.
No. The E1049-26 carries a NEMA 3 rating and is intended for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations. It is suitable for general industrial environments but is not specified for hazardous areas. For outdoor or more challenging environments, verify an appropriate enclosure and protection scheme per site requirements.
The plug conforms to NEC/CEC standards and is listed for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous locations with a NEMA Rating of 3. These certifications help ensure compliance with typical industrial power distribution codes and enable safer, code‑compliant installations.
The copper contacts and rugged rubber housing deliver reliable conductivity and durability, reducing contact resistance and downtime. High‑amperage capability with large 777 kcmil conductors lowers the need for parallel feeds, saving material and labor costs over the asset lifecycle and improving overall equipment availability.
