Eaton Crouse-Hinds E1049-27 Plug - 1000 Vac/dc, NEMA 3
Part Number: E1049-27
Quick Summary
E1049-27 plug from the Eaton Crouse-Hinds Roughneck series delivers high-amperage power connections for rugged industrial equipment. Engineers often battle difficult terminations under vibration, moisture, and tight installation spaces, which can delay commissioning and increase maintenance. This plug meets NEC/CEC standards and carries a NEMA 3 rating, making it suitable for ordinary/non-hazardous locations in plant environments. The rugged rubber body, copper contacts, and choice of hexagon crimp or solder connections offer dependable performance across challenging conditions. With copper conductors and a 1000 Vac/dc rating, it supports fast, secure field assembly and long service life, reducing downtime and total cost of ownership in power-distribution systems.

Eaton Specification Sheet - E1049-27
Feature: Continuous amperage rating up to 1135A and compatibility with 777 kcmil cables. Business Impact: This high-capacity spec minimizes the number of terminations in a power path and reduces voltage drop, delivering improved efficiency and lower maintenance costs in high-load feeders. Application: Ideal for large motors, high-power pumps, and feeders in manufacturing lines where uptime matters. Feature: Copper contacts and a rugged rubber housing. Business Impact: Copper provides low resistance and durable conductivity, while the rubber body resists oils, moisture, and vibration—extending connector life and reducing failure modes. Application: Suitable for Roughneck installations in ordinary locations across process and packaging facilities. Feature: Hexagon crimp or solder connection options. Business Impact: Field-installable terminations with common tools speed up commissioning and simplify maintenance; the dual options support both pre-wired assemblies and on-site repair. Application: Best for service centers and maintenance teams working on high-current distribution in control panels. Feature: 1000 Vac/dc voltage rating and color-coded blue housing. Business Impact: Provides a robust safety margin for AC and DC circuits and easy identification in a busy panel or cabinet. Application: Ideal for power distribution in ordinary/non-hazardous locations, where stable, safe operation is required. Feature: Documentation and standards support. Business Impact: Access to installation instructions, catalogs, and spec sheets accelerates procurement, ensures compliance with NEC/CEC, and reduces the risk of misapplication. Application: Engineering planning, procurement, and field installation for Roughneck E1049-27 plugs. Feature: Broad compatibility with Roughneck ecosystem and service tooling. Business Impact: Streamlines stocking and maintenance by aligning with existing Eaton/Crouse-Hinds components; color coding and standardized sizing reduce mis-matches. Application: Stock rooms, procurement, and field teams ordering 777 kcmil terminations for power distribution and panel builds.

FAQs
To install, prepare the 777 kcmil conductors with proper strip lengths, select the hexagon crimp or solder termination method, and ensure copper contacts are clean and fully seated. Use compatible tooling and verify a secure connection before energizing. Refer to the IF 1777 installation sheets for step-by-step guidance.
The E1049-27 is rated for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations with a NEMA 3 enclosure rating. It supports up to 1000 Vac/dc and is suitable for non-hazardous industrial environments, where moisture and dust are present but do not require explosion-proof protection.
Yes. The E1049-27 is designed for hexagon crimp or solder terminations. This dual compatibility offers field flexibility, enabling secure, code-compliant connections either pre-wired or on-site with common tooling and copper conductors up to 777 kcmil.
E1049-27 carries NEC/CEC compliance and a NEMA 3 rating, with Ordinary/Non-Hazardous area classification. These certifications ensure the connector meets electrical code requirements and provides safe, reliable operation in typical industrial environments, reducing compliance risk in plant installations.
The combination of up to 1135A continuous rating and copper contacts lowers resistance and contact wear, reducing maintenance intervals and downtime. Durable rubber housing protects against moisture and vibration, while readily available installation resources shorten commissioning time and improve overall system reliability.
