FAQs
The E1049-36 is designed for high‑current power connections in demanding industrial environments, including motor feeders and large equipment power feeds. It accepts 313 kcmil conductors and delivers reliable performance at up to 636A continuous, making it ideal for non-hazardous locations in manufacturing, infrastructure, and mining facilities.
Key specs include up to 636A continuous amperage, 313 kcmil cable size, and a voltage rating of 1000 Vac/dc. It is a male connector with a rubber housing and copper contacts, configured for hexagon crimp or solder terminations, and is rated for ordinary/non-hazardous locations.
Yes, the E1049-36 complies with NEC/CEC standards and carries a NEMA 3 rating, making it suitable for outdoor or harsh-but-non-hazardous environments. It is intended for ordinary locations that require reliable high‑amperage connections.
Hexagon crimp and solder terminations offer flexible field installation options. Crimping with the proper tooling provides a quick, consistent connection, while soldering can be used in retrofit scenarios where crimp tooling isn’t available. Both methods ensure low resistance and durable mechanical integrity.
Using a single high‑amperage connector reduces the number of components in power runs, simplifies maintenance, and lowers downtime risk. The rugged rubber housing and copper contacts improve longevity in non-hazardous locations, leading to fewer replacements and lower total cost of ownership over the life of large-diameter power feeds.
