FAQs
Installers should prepare 313 kcmil copper conductors with clean, square ends. Use the Hexagon crimp or solder termination method recommended by Eaton, selecting the appropriate crimp dies for the conductor size. Slide the conductor into the contact and secure with the chosen termination technique, then assemble the rubber housing to seal against moisture and dust. Verify the 8.5 in length and 2.16 in width/height fit within the panel or enclosure, and test continuity and insulation resistance after installation to confirm a reliable connection.
The E1049-35 plug is rated for up to 636A continuous current and up to 1000 Vac/dc, making it suitable for high-load feeders and heavy equipment. It accepts conductors up to 313 kcmil copper, enabling large-diameter cable runs with a single termination. This combination supports robust power distribution while maintaining operational safety margins in industrial environments.
Yes. The E1049-35 is designed for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations with a NEMA 3 rating, providing protection against rain, dust, and incidental moisture. Its green rubber body and copper contacts offer chemical resistance and vibration tolerance, making it well-suited for outdoor equipment, weather-exposed installations, and damp indoor areas where reliable power connections are required.
This plug adheres to NEC/CEC standards and carries a NEMA 3 rating for exterior and rugged interior use. Its Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations classification confirms suitability for general industrial environments without hazardous location constraints, ensuring compliance for most manufacturing and processing facilities.
The Roughneck E1049-35 leverages a durable rubber housing and copper contacts designed for long service life, resilient to vibration and environmental exposure. The option for hexagon crimp or solder terminations reduces installation time and rework, lowering labor costs. In practice, operators see fewer field failures, lower maintenance intervals, and improved uptime for feeders and high-load equipment.
