Feature: Up to 1135A continuous rating and 777 kcmil cable compatibility. This capacity enables direct, high-current connections for large motors and feeders, reducing the need for midspan splices and minimizing contact resistance that can cause heat buildup over time. Application: Ideal for Roughneck high-amperage plugs in heavy equipment such as pumps, conveyors, and crushers operating in hazardous locations where reliability is mission-critical. Feature: Hexagon crimp or solder termination offers installation flexibility. Business impact: Field technicians can leverage existing tooling and procedures, shortening setup time and accelerating preventive maintenance cycles. Application: Suitable for maintenance crews replacing worn connectors on large compressors, pumps, and grinders in Zone 2 environments. Feature: Rubber housing with copper contacts delivers rugged durability and low contact resistance. Business impact: The rubber seal and chemical resistance extend service life in harsh process environments, reducing replacement costs. Application: Chemical plants, refineries, and mining sites where exposure to moisture, oils, and dust is routine. Feature: IP54 protection and NEMA 3R compatibility provide broad enclosure resilience. Business impact: Keeps moisture and particulates out in outdoor and semi-enclosed installations, supporting regulatory compliance for hazardous locations. Application: Outdoor pumps, switchgear, and portable equipment deployed in oil, gas, and mineral-processing facilities. Feature: Compact size and manageable weight (8.5 in length, 3 in height and width, 1 lb) simplify handling during installation. Business impact: Reduces installation time and fatigue for crews, enabling faster panel assembly and service turns. Application: OEM wiring harnesses and retrofit projects across global plants requiring Zone 2 rated, high-current plugs.

FAQs
Installation requires ensuring the conductor is clean and properly prepared for hexagon crimp or solder termination. Use compatible crimp tooling or soldering procedures conforming to the Roughneck guidelines. Verify polarity, insulation integrity, and mechanical securement before energizing the circuit. The rubber housing provides environmental sealing once mated with the corresponding connector.
The design provides a high-current copper contact interface and robust rubber housing that tolerates industrial contaminants. The hexagon crimp or solder termination ensures low resistance and consistent contact pressure. The assembly is rated for continuous duty, and the 1000 Vac/dc rating supports versatile supply requirements in demanding environments.
Yes. The plug is Zone 2/IECEx/ATEX certified and NEC/CEC compliant for hazardous locations, including Class I, Division 2. This makes it suitable for motors, pumps, and feeders in hazardous process areas while maintaining safe, reliable electrical connections.
It carries IECEx/ATEX Zone 2 and NEC/CEC compliance, Class I, Division 2 suitability, IP54 protection, and NEMA 3R compatibility. These certifications ensure safe operation in hazardous locations and exposure to dust, water, and outdoor conditions, aligning with strict industrial standards.
Maintenance benefits come from durable copper contacts, a rubber housing, and a simple hex crimp or solder process that reduces teardown time. The high-current rating and robust enclosure lower failure rates, contributing to reduced downtime and favorable total cost of ownership in long-running industrial systems.
