Eaton E1049-62 Plug - 1000V, 646 kcmil NEC/CEC
Part Number: E1049-62
Quick Summary
Eaton Crouse-Hinds E1049-62 plug is a high-amperage connector engineered for Roughneck installations in large electrical enclosures. When wiring large motors or feeders, reliability and termination integrity are critical, and subpar plugs can lead to downtime. This rugged, 1000 Vac/dc-rated, copper-contact plug supports copper conductors up to 646 kcmil and offers both hexagon crimp and solder options for versatile field installation. The product meets NEC/CEC standards and NEMA 3 ratings, enabling safe use in ordinary/non-hazardous locations and outdoor-like environments. By combining robust materials, precise fabrication, and clear identification (red color), this solution reduces maintenance cycles and improves overall system uptime, delivering measurable total cost of ownership benefits for industrial power distribution projects.

Eaton Specification Sheet - E1049-62
Feature → Business Impact → Application: The E1049-62 plug features a rubber body with copper contacts and a color-coded red housing, delivering durable, weather-resistant connections suitable for harsh environments. This translates to lower maintenance costs and fewer reseating events in feeders or motor circuits; technicians experience faster, more reliable terminations in large-diameter cable runs such as 646 kcmil feeders used in mining, metals processing, or heavy manufacturing. Feature → Hexagon crimp or solder connection → Installation flexibility and improved contact reliability, reducing field rejection rates and ensuring solid electrical continuity in high-current assemblies; ideal for long, continuous-duty service on large motors and power distribution panels. Feature → Up to 1009A continuous rating → System-wide efficiency gains and reduced need for multiple junctions by supporting single, high-current connections; applicable to propulsion drives and heavy-duty equipment in metal fabrication and material handling. Feature → 1000 Vac/dc rating → Enhanced safety margins and compliance with high-voltage distribution requirements, enabling safer integration with mixed AC/DC systems in industrial plants; fits NEC/CEC-compliant infrastructure. Feature → NEMA 3 and ordinary/non-hazardous area suitability → Outdoor-feel or damp-indoor locations without additional enclosure protection, reducing planning and enclosure costs in outdoor plants; used in rugged outdoor substations and processing lines. Feature → 8.5 in length, 3 in x 3 in footprint, 5.5 lb weight → Manageable footprint for panel layout and transport; convenient for install crews handling bulky, high-amperage plugs in confined spaces. Feature → Copper contact material and rubber insulation → Long-term resistance to corrosion and mechanical wear, improving lifecycle performance in hot environments and frequent mating cycles; relevant for high-mump motor connections and heavy-duty power distribution blocks.

FAQs
The E1049-62 is designed for 646 kcmil copper conductors and supports both hexagon crimp and solder connections. This provides flexible field installation while ensuring a robust, gas-tight and low-resistance termination suitable for continuous-duty applications up to 1009A. Always follow the installation sheets IF 1777 and related guidelines when selecting crimp tooling and solder methods to maintain NEC/CEC compliance.
The plug is rated up to 1009A continuous and supports a voltage rating of 1000 Vac/dc. This combination makes it suitable for high-current motor feeds and large power distribution sections in industrial environments, while meeting NEC/CEC standards and NEMA 3 protection criteria.
Ideal for heavy manufacturing, mining, metal processing, and large motor applications where high-current, reliable connections are essential. Its ordinary/non-hazardous area classification and rugged rubber body support outdoor or damp environments typical of processing plants and material handling facilities.
Key certifications include NEC/CEC compliance and a NEMA Rating of 3, supporting use in ordinary/non-hazardous locations. The product is designed to meet required safety and performance standards for high-amperage, high-voltage power distribution in industrial settings.
Eaton provides installation and maintenance guidance via IF 1777 instruction sheets and a dedicated Roughneck literature package, including brochures, a catalog page, and an official specification sheet. These resources help ensure correct installation, reduce downtime, and validate ROI through compliant, repeatable field procedures.
