Eaton Crouse-Hinds Roughneck E1049X-27 Plug - Zone 2 IP54
Part Number: E1049X-27
Quick Summary
The Eaton Crouse-Hinds Roughneck E1049X-27 plug is a rugged, high-current connector designed for demanding industrial wiring applications. When installers work with large-diameter cables in hazardous zones, mis-sizing and slow terminations can cause costly downtime. This plug carries Zone 2 hazardous-location certification, IP54 ingress protection, and NEC/IECEx compliance to support safe, compliant operation in Division 2 environments. Copper contacts, a rubber housing, and a choice of hex crimp or solder terminations deliver durable, field-ready connections. With a 777 kcmil cable size and up to 1135A continuous rating, it helps engineers standardize high-amperage installs while reducing spare parts and install time.

Special features
Zone 2 rated
Feature → Business Impact → Application: The Roughneck E1049X-27 is rated for up to 1135A continuous and supports 777 kcmil conductors, enabling a single high-amperage solution that reduces the number of different connectors needed in large-feed assemblies, cutting inventory costs and ensuring reliable power delivery in heavy-duty feeders. Application: Ideal for mining, petrochemical, and heavy machinery installations where reliability and uptime are critical. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Copper contacts in a rubber housing with hex crimp or solder terminations deliver low-resistance, corrosion-resistant connections, improving conductivity and long-term performance, especially in harsh environments. Application: Field terminations on outdoor or rugged equipment benefit from quicker, consistent assemblies. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Zone 2 rating, IP54 protection, and NEMA 3R compatibility provide robust ingress protection and safety in hazardous locations, reducing retrofit risk during upgrades. Application: Chemical plants, oil & gas facilities, and other classified sites. Feature → Business Impact → Application: IECEx/ATEX and NEC/CEC certifications simplify regulatory compliance and cross-border deployments, streamlining procurement and project timelines. Application: Global projects requiring standardization. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Dimensions and weight (8.5 in length, 2.16 in width/height, 5.5 lb) combine manageability with heavy-duty performance, enabling easier handling during installation and service, while maintaining compact footprint in panels and enclosures.

FAQs
The E1049X-27 is designed for 777 kcmil cables and supports hex crimp or solder terminations, providing a secure, low-resistance connection suitable for high-current feeds in demanding installations.
It carries NEC Class I, Division 2 and IECEx/ATEX Zone 2 certifications, making it suitable for Zone 2 hazardous locations and mixed regulatory environments such as chemical plants or oil and gas facilities.
Yes. It is IP54 rated and NEMA 3R compliant, offering protection against dust and splash in outdoor or recessed installations, while maintaining performance in demanding environments.
Installers should have appropriate crimping tools for hex crimp connections or soldering equipment for a reliable termination, along with standard PPE and cylindrical or rubber housing inspection checks for Zone 2 environments.
High amperage capability, robust sealing, and standardized termination methods reduce field rework, spare parts needs, and downtime, delivering lower total cost of ownership and faster project completion in heavy-use facilities.
