Eaton Specification Sheet - E1049-58
High-current capability and 535 kcmil compatibility enable fewer connectors and higher motor-load efficiency. Up to 898A continuous and 535 kcmil cables mean you can consolidate feeders, reducing panel footprint and installation time. This is ideal for heavy motors, pumps, and conveyors in harsh industrial environments. Flexible termination options, hexagon crimp or solder, deliver installation flexibility and field reliability. The ability to choose crimp tooling or soldering supports varying shop capabilities and on-site constraints, cutting commissioning time. Applications include retrofit projects and new builds where precise tooling may be limited. NEMA 3 rating and ordinary/non-hazardous location suitability provide robust outdoor and dusty environment performance. This certification profile lowers compliance risk and enables outdoor distribution to keep critical processes running. Use cases include outdoor substations, outdoor panels, and construction-site feeders. Rubber housing and copper contacts deliver durable, low-resistance connections under vibration and thermal cycling. The rugged construction reduces maintenance cycles and extends service life in continuous-run facilities. Ideal for large-diameter cable runs in mining, metal fabrication, and chemical processing facilities. Engineering-grade copper contacts and precise tolerances support reliable, repeatable connections, improving uptime and reducing torque/friction-related errors during assembly. Compatibility with 8.5 in length and 3x3 in footprint simplifies mounting in existing enclosures. Guides and datasheets from Eaton streamline installation and testing.

FAQs
The E1049-58 supports large conductors up to 535 kcmil and offers hexagon crimp or solder termination. Use the appropriate crimp tooling or soldering process as specified in the IF 1777 instructions. Ensure the rubber housing seats fully and copper contacts are clean and torqued per connector guidelines to maintain low resistance and high reliability in continuous operation.
Key specs are an amperage rating up to 898A continuous, a cable size of 535 kcmil, and a voltage rating of 1000 Vac/dc. These figures enable single connectors to serve heavy motor feeds and large-diameter cables, reducing the need for multiple parallel connections while maintaining robust electrical performance in demanding environments.
Yes. The E1049-58 is certified for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations and carries a NEMA 3 rating, making it appropriate for outdoor, dusty, and vibration-prone settings. This reduces compliance risk for outdoor feeders and supports reliable operation in non-hazardous industrial applications such as outdoor panels and construction-site installations.
The connector conforms to NEC/CEC standards and carries a NEMA Rating of 3, aligning with common industrial and electrical installation requirements. Area classification is Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations, which supports widespread use in non-hazardous industrial facilities and ensures regulatory alignment during audits and maintenance planning.
By enabling up to 898A with a single 535 kcmil connection and durable copper contacts, the E1049-58 reduces splice points and downtime, improving uptime and asset utilization. The rubber housing resists environmental stress, lowering maintenance intervals, while installation flexibility (hex crimp or solder) minimizes field delays and capitalizes on existing tooling investments.
