FAQs
The E1049X-16 supports 646 kcmil copper conductors and up to 1009 A continuous current. Terminations can be performed via hexagon crimp or solder, providing a reliable, field-serviceable connection suitable for Zone 2 hazardous locations. The rubber housing and copper contacts ensure solid contact resistance and durability in harsh environments.
This Roughneck plug is NEC/CEC and IECEx/ATEX certified for hazardous locations, with Zone 2 approval. It also carries IP54 ingress protection and a NEMA 3R enclosure rating, ensuring safe operation in wet or dusty environments and outdoor or semi-exposed installations.
Yes. The E1049X-16 is Zone 2 rated and NEC/CEC IECEx/ATEX compliant, making it appropriate for chemical processing areas where combustible atmospheres may be present but are not continuously hazardous. The IP54 protection and rugged construction further support safe operation in such environments.
Hex crimp termination provides fast, repeatable field terminations with strong mechanical and electrical performance, reducing downtime. Solder termination offers a robust, low-resistance connection in tight or custom configurations. Together they give installers flexibility to meet site constraints while maintaining high reliability and compliance.
Choosing the E1049X-16 improves equipment uptime by delivering durable, compliant connections that resist environmental stressors. Its high current rating and corrosion-resistant contact materials reduce maintenance frequency, while Zone 2 and IP54 protections minimize risk of unplanned outages, contributing to lower total cost of ownership in hazardous-location installations.
