Eaton Specification Sheet - E1049-33
Feature: Up to 636A continuous current rating. Business Impact: Enables direct high-current feeder connections with minimal terminations, reducing heat buildup and potential contact resistance over time. Application: ideal for large power feeds to panels, MCCs, and motor starters in non-hazardous industrial environments. Feature: Cable size compatibility with 313 kcmil conductors. Business Impact: eliminates unnecessary splices, lowers labor costs, and improves overall reliability of the primary wiring path. Application: long direct runs from switchgear to distribution blocks in manufacturing facilities. Feature: Voltage rating of 1000 Vac/dc. Business Impact: provides generous insulation margin and aligns with NEC/CEC requirements, helping prevent insulation breakdown under surge conditions. Application: control panels and feeder circuits in factories and warehouses. Feature: Termination options hexagon crimp or solder. Business Impact: offers installation flexibility with common tooling, improves first-pass termination success, and reduces training time. Application: field service and assembly where either crimp or solder tools are used. Feature: Rubber housing and copper contacts. Business Impact: resists moisture, abrasion, and corrosion while maintaining low contact resistance; extends service life. Application: outdoor enclosures, damp locations, and rugged plant floors. Feature: Red color coding and Roughneck ruggedness. Business Impact: enhances identification and safety, speeds maintenance, and withstands demanding environments. Application: large-diameter conductor installations in heavy industries such as oil & gas, chemical processing, and utilities. Certifications and compliance: NEC/CEC standards, NEMA 3 rating, and Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations area classification. Thoughtful design and documentation support streamline procurement, installation, and long-term maintenance.

FAQs
Yes. The E1049-33 is designed for ordinary/non-hazardous locations and supports two termination methods: hexagon crimp or solder. It uses 313 kcmil copper conductors and handles up to 636A continuous. For best results, use the appropriate crimp tooling or soldering process, ensuring a clean, secure connection and proper insulation with the rubber housing.
The E1049-33 plug provides up to 636A continuous current rating and accepts 313 kcmil conductors. It is intended for high‑amperage feeder applications, supporting robust power paths from switchgear to distribution blocks while maintaining reliable performance under normal industrial loads.
Yes. The plug accommodates ordinary/non-hazardous locations and carries a NEMA 3 rating, indicating suitability for outdoor or damp environments. The rubber housing adds weather resistance, and the copper contacts are designed for durability in challenging plant conditions, helping maintain a reliable connection with reduced corrosion risk.
Installation sheets for the Roughneck E1049 series are available, including IF 1777 instruction sheets and the related literature. These documents provide step‑by‑step guidance for hex crimp and solder terminations, safety cautions, and recommended tools to ensure compliant, high‑integrity connections in industrial facilities.
Using the E1049-33 reduces terminal count by enabling high-current, direct connections for large feeders, which lowers labor and material costs. Its rugged build and NEC/CEC compliance, plus NEMA 3 suitability, translate to longer service life, fewer field failures, and lower maintenance capital expenditure across power distribution infrastructure.
