Special features
Zone 2 rated
Feature: High amperage rating up to 1135A continuous and 777 kcmil cable size provides capability for large feeders. Business Impact: This reduces the number of parallel connections in a panel, lowering heat, wiring complexity, and potential fault points. Application: Ideal for heavy motor drives, pumping stations, and distribution feeders in hazardous plants. Feature: Connection options include hexagon crimp or solder termination with copper contacts and a durable yellow rubber housing. Business Impact: Offers installation flexibility and field serviceability without compromising sealing performance. Application: Field terminations in retrofit projects and OEM harness assemblies in Zone 2 environments. Feature: IP54 ingress protection and NEMA 3R enclosure, along with hazardous-location certifications (Zone 2, NEC Class I Division 2). Business Impact: Delivers reliable, weather-resistant operation and regulatory compliance for outdoor or dusty facilities. Application: Oil and gas facilities, mining operations, and chemical processing plants. Feature: Electrical specs include a voltage rating of 1000 Vac/dc and overall dimensions (8.5 in length, 2.16 in width and height) with a 5.5 lb weight. Business Impact: Predictable installation footprint and easier enclosure planning. Application: Design of power distribution systems and cable management in control panels. Feature: Special features include Zone 2 rating and copper contact material with a rubber body for robust, vibration-tolerant connections. Business Impact: Enhances durability in demanding environments and reduces replacement cycles. Application: Offshore platforms, refineries, and mining operations.

FAQs
Begin by confirming the cable size (777 kcmil) and current rating (up to 1135A). Choose the preferred termination method (hexagon crimp or solder) and prepare copper conductors accordingly. Ensure the rubber housing remains sealed to maintain IP54 protection, and follow site-specific safety and explosion-protection practices for Zone 2 installations. Verify all terminations are mechanically secure and electrically sound before energizing.
The E1049X-22 supports up to 1135A continuous current and accepts 777 kcmil conductors. It is rated for 1000 Vac/dc, with copper contacts inside a rubber housing, making it suitable for large-diameter power feeds in demanding environments.
Yes. The plug carries Zone 2 (IECEx/ATEX) hazardous-location certification as well as NEC Class I, Division 2 compliance, aligning with CEC/IEC standards for safe operation in classified locations. Additional IP54 and NEMA 3R protections further support regulatory requirements in industrial facilities.
Installations in oil and gas, chemical processing, mining, and other harsh environments benefit most. The connector’s Zone 2 rating, large-gauge 777 kcmil conductors, and high amperage support reduce wiring complexity, minimize panel space, and improve system reliability in hazardous locations.
Expect reduced downtime from robust, field-serviceable terminations (hex crimp or solder) and fewer connection points thanks to the 1135A capacity. The combination of Zone 2 compliance, IP54 protection, and durable copper contacts lowers maintenance costs and retrofit frequency, delivering a favorable total cost of ownership for long-running power-distribution systems.
