Feature → Business Impact → Application: The E1049-60 uses copper contacts inside a durable rubber housing, delivering low-contact resistance and long-term reliability, which translates to reduced maintenance cycles and fewer unscheduled outages on heavy feeders. This improves uptime for critical processes and lowers lifecycle costs in plants with frequent motor starts and high inrush scenarios. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Copper contact material paired with hexagon crimp or solder connections simplifies field termination, accelerating install times and reducing labor costs while ensuring solid, vibration-resistant joints in wiring closets and switchgear. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The 646 kcmil cable size and 1000 Vac/dc rating enable comfortable headroom for large feeders, enabling engineers to design with throughput margins that mitigate voltage drop and transient spikes under load. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Up to 1009A continuous rating provides a reliable solution for high-amperage circuits in ordinary/non-hazardous locations, aligning with NEC/CEC requirements and improving compliance. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The Roughneck E1049-60’s rugged rubber construction and black finish offer environmental sealing and ease of identification, supporting maintenance teams in demanding plants, including those with oily floors and temperature variations. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Availability of installation documents (IF1777/IF1778, brochure, datasheet) accelerates training for technicians and reduces commissioning risk, ensuring consistent best-practice termination in panel, cabinet, or field junctions. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The product’s NEMA 3 rating and ordinary location classification give engineers confidence for outdoor enclosures and non-hazardous indoor areas, helping specifiers meet safety and compliance targets while simplifying sourcing across projects.

FAQs
The E1049-60 is designed for copper contact termination via hex crimp or solder. Start by selecting 646 kcmil copper conductors, trim to the recommended length, and follow the IF1777/IF1778 installation sheets for proper crimping or soldering technique. Use the rubber housing to seal against contaminants and thread the connector into the mating receptacle to ensure full engagement and a secure, vibration-resistant connection.
Yes. The E1049-60 carries NEC/CEC standards type and a NEMA Rating of 3, suitable for ordinary/non-hazardous locations. This makes it appropriate for non-hazardous indoor or outdoor installations, provided enclosure protection and IP considerations meet application needs. Always verify project-specific codes and local amendments during design.
The plug supports up to 646 kcmil cable with an amperage rating up to 1009 A continuous. This makes it ideal for high-current feeders and large-motor circuits where space constraints or environmental factors demand robust, high-capacity connectors.
Benefits include copper contact materials for low resistance and longevity, a rubber housing for environmental resilience, and hex crimp or solder termination options for secure field connections. Combined with a 1000 Vac/dc rating and up to 1009 A, these features reduce downtime, simplify maintenance, and lower life-cycle costs in demanding industrial settings.
You can access the Roughneck E1049 series installation sheets (IF 1777 and IF 1778), brochures, and the datasheet from Eaton’s site. These documents provide step-by-step termination guidance, wiring recommendations, safety notes, and performance specifications to support compliant installation and commissioning.
