Eaton Crouse-Hinds E1049-32 Plug - 1000 Vac/dc
Part Number: E1049-32
Quick Summary
The E1049-32 plug delivers rugged, high-amperage connectivity for harsh industrial environments. Engineers often struggle with reliable terminations at large wire sizes and in non-weather-protected locations, leading to intermittent faults and downtime. This model aligns with NEC/CEC standards, carries a NEMA 3 rating, and is suitable for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations, helping ensure regulatory compliance and safer operation. By standardizing on Roughneck plugs, maintenance teams achieve faster installations, reduced insulation failures, and lower field rework, while procurement gains a predictable, long-life solution for up to 636A continuous and 313 kcmil wires. The combination of copper contacts, rubber housing, and hexagon crimp or solder connections supports durable, high-integrity terminations.

FAQs
The E1049-32 is designed for the Roughneck series and uses a copper contact with a rubber housing. It supports hexagon crimp or solder terminations for cables up to 313 kcmil and is rated up to 636A continuous at 1000 Vac/dc, suitable for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations per NEC/CEC and NEMA 3 standards.
Key specs include amperage up to 636A continuous, cable size 313 kcmil, voltage rating 1000 Vac/dc, copper contacts, male connector, and hexagon crimp or solder connection. It uses a rubber housing and is color‑coded yellow for visibility in industrial environments.
This plug is classified for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations with a NEMA 3 rating. It provides weather resistance suitable for non-hazardous outdoor or mildly exposed environments, but it is not rated for immersion or full hazardous area service.
Copper contacts with secure hex crimp or solder terminations deliver low contact resistance and robust durability, reducing field rework. Rubber housing offers vibration tolerance and insulation, while the high-amperage rating supports reliable operation for large feeders, diminishing downtime during preventive maintenance and installations.
Official resources include installation sheets IF 1777 and IF 1778, the Roughneck catalog page, and the E1049-32 specification sheet. Access brochures and catalogs via Eaton’s Roughneck literature, and consult the data sheets for precise termination procedures, compatibility notes, and safety guidelines.
