Eaton Specification Sheet - E1049-66
High amperage capability is a core feature. Business impact: It supports up to 1009A continuous, enabling direct connections for large motors and feeders without intermediate splices. Application: suitable for heavy-load distribution in manufacturing lines, reducing downtime and improving overall line efficiency. Large cable size support of 646 kcmil allows installers to terminate substantial conductors with fewer terminations, cutting installation time and potential failure points in feeders and power drops. Flexible termination options include hexagon crimp or solder connections, which provides installation versatility in both controlled shop environments and on-site field service, reducing tool requirements and avoiding schedule delays. Durable rubber housing and copper contacts ensure low resistance and robust performance in dusty or wet plant conditions, extending service life and lowering maintenance costs. The 1000 Vac/dc rating, blue housing, and compatibility with NEC/CEC standards deliver predictable performance across AC and DC power distribution, while NEMA 3 protection supports outdoor and semi-exposed installations. As part of the Roughneck family, this plug scales with other E1049 components, enabling scalable, turnkey power networks across facilities.

FAQs
The E1049-66 is designed for 646 kcmil conductors and supports hexagon crimp or solder terminations. For crimping, use a compatible hex crimp tool sized for 646 kcmil copper conductors. For solder termination, ensure proper heat control to preserve insulation and conductor integrity. This flexibility enables field technicians to select the method that best fits their standard procedures and inventory while maintaining a robust, code-compliant connection.
The E1049-66 plug is rated up to 1009A continuous and supports a voltage of 1000 Vac/dc. This combination makes it suitable for high‑current distribution to large motors and feeders in industrial settings, allowing for fewer intermediate connections and improved efficiency.
Yes. The product carries a NEMA 3 rating and is specified for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations, making it appropriate for outdoor or protected outdoor installations where weather and dust resistance are important, alongside NEC/CEC compliance for electrical safety.
The E1049-66 adheres to NEC/CEC standards and carries a NEMA 3 rating. These certifications confirm compliance with National Electrical Code requirements and suitable protection for moderate outdoor use, supporting safe, reliable operation in routine industrial environments.
Copper contacts provide low electrical resistance and durable terminations, while the rubber housing offers rugged impact and environmental resistance. These features collectively reduce routine maintenance, minimize contact resistance growth over time, and extend service life, delivering better total cost of ownership in high‑demand facilities.
