High-current performance with copper contacts and a rugged rubber body enables up to 796 A continuous operation and supports 444 kcmil cables, reducing the number of terminations and boosting overall system reliability. This is ideal for large feeders in oil and gas, chemical processing, and heavy manufacturing environments where downtime is costly. Hazardous-location certification and Zone 2/Division 2 compliance help simplify audits and ensure safer start-ups, while IP54 and NEMA 3R protection minimize dust and moisture ingress in outdoor or plant-room installations. The option of hexagon crimp or solder termination provides flexible field termination workflows, reducing install time and ensuring low-resistance connections under load. Its compact 8.5 in length with a 1 lb weight aids routing and servicing in tight electrical rooms, supporting long-term maintenance planning.

FAQs
The E1049X-207 is designed for high-current terminations in Zone 2 and Class I, Division 2 environments. It supports up to 796 A and 444 kcmil conductors, with copper contacts and rubber construction to resist moisture and dust. Typical applications include oil and gas facilities, chemical plants, mining operations, and other demanding industrial projects requiring safe, compliant connectors.
Installations use either hexagon crimp or solder terminations to connect 444 kcmil conductors to copper contacts inside the rubber-bodied plug. Follow the IF 1777 instruction sheets for proper crimp tooling, torque ranges, and sealing procedures. Ensure zone 2 classification, confirm IP54 ingress protection, and verify the assembly meets NEC/IECEx/ATEX requirements before energizing.
Yes. The E1049X-207 is specified to accept 444 kcmil conductors with either hexagon crimp or solder termination. This enables large-diameter feeder connections in high-current applications, reducing the number of individual terminations and improving electrical performance and heat management under load.
The plug carries IECEx/ATEX Zone 2 and NEC Class I, Division 2 hazardous-location certifications, along with IP54 environmental protection and NEMA 3R enclosure rating. These certifications support compliance in global hazardous locations and outdoor or semi-outdoor installations, with validated safety and performance in demanding conditions.
The E1049X-207 reduces downtime through fast, secure field terminations (hex crimp or solder) for large conductors, while its rugged rubber body and IP54/NEMA 3R protection minimize field failures. High current capacity and certified safety reduce regulatory overhead and maintenance costs over the asset’s life, delivering long-term operational savings.
