FAQs
The E1049X-74 supports hexagon crimp or solder connections and uses a rubber housing for environmental sealing. When wiring, verify cable preparation for 777 kcmil conductors, maintain correct polarity, and ensure compatible crimp tools or soldering methods. Allow for the 8.5 inch length and 3 inch width/height in enclosure planning to avoid clearance issues.
Yes. The E1049X-74 is rated for up to 1135A continuous and supports 777 kcmil cables, making it suitable for large feeders and motor connections. For best results, match the conductor size to the specified copper contact configuration and use appropriate lugs or crimp dies per manufacturer guidance.
This plug carries IECEx/ATEX, NEC/CEC compliance, Zone 2 hazardous location rating, and Class I, Division 2 recognition, along with NEMA 3R and IP54 protection. These certifications support safe operation in global hazardous environments and enable cross-site deployment with confidence in safety standards.
The component is rated for 1000 Vac/dc, with copper contacts delivering superior electrical conductivity. This combination supports high-current, low-loss terminations, and aligns with the needs of industrial power distribution in demanding settings.
Commonly used in heavy electrical distribution, large-motor feeders, and equipment terminations within hazardous classifications such as Class I Division 2. Industries include oil and gas, chemical processing, mining, and other operations requiring Zone 2 rated, IP54-protected connections with robust, field-installable termination options.
