Eaton Crouse-Hinds E1049-86 Plug - Roughneck NEMA 3
Part Number: E1049-86
Quick Summary
The Eaton Crouse-Hinds E1049-86 plug is a rugged, high-amperage power connector designed for Roughneck applications in industrial facilities. Engineers often struggle to source connectors that survive frequent terminations and harsh environments without compromising safety or uptime. This plug aligns with NEC/CEC standards, carries a NEMA 3 rating for outdoor use, and is suited for ordinary/non-hazardous locations. With 313 kcmil cables, up to 636 A continuous, and a 1000 Vac/dc rating, it supports quick hex-crimp or solder terminations while enabling scalable, maintenance-friendly power distribution. Additionally, the blue rubber housing and copper contacts provide durable sealing and low contact resistance, supporting long service life in demanding environments.
