Eaton Crouse-Hinds E1049X-80 Plug - Zone 2 Rated
Part Number: E1049X-80
Quick Summary
The Eaton Crouse-Hinds Roughneck E1049 plug is a rugged, high-amperage connector designed for hazardous or classified locations. Engineers and procurement teams often struggle with delivering safe, compliant terminations in Zone 2 environments where vibration, moisture, and space constraints threaten reliability. This plug carries NEC/CEC IECEx/ATEX certifications, Zone 2 hazardous location rating, and IP54 ingress protection, blending regulatory compliance with industrial durability. By supporting hexagon crimp or solder terminations and using copper contacts in a rubber housing, it enables fast, field-friendly installations while minimizing downtime. The result is a dependable, long-life connection that reduces maintenance costs and supports high-demand feeders in harsh facilities, aligning with both safety standards and project timelines.

High amperage capability up to 636A continuous translates directly into fewer connections and reduced copper loss in heavy-duty feeders. This enables more efficient power distribution for motors, pumps, and large equipment in chemical plants, mining operations, or offshore facilities. The 313 kcmil cable size capability allows termination of large conductors, reducing resistance, increasing fault tolerance, and streamlining installation in dense electrical rooms or outdoor yards where space is at a premium. Hexagon crimp or solder terminations provide installation flexibility, enabling rapid field terminations and straightforward spares management without sacrificing reliability. The IP54 rating and NEMA 3R compatibility ensure protection against dust and water ingress, supporting outdoor and industrial environments with minimal protective enclosure requirements. Zone 2 and Class I, Division 2 classifications deliver critical regulatory compliance for hazardous locations, helping you meet code requirements on new builds and retrofits. Rubber housing and copper contacts deliver durable mechanical performance and superior electrical conductivity, resisting vibration and corrosion in harsh chemical or marine environments. With a 1000 Vac/dc rating, the E1049X-80 handles mixed control and power circuits while maintaining a robust, safe connection across demanding applications.

FAQs
The E1049X-80 supports hexagon crimp or solder terminations, enabling flexible field installation with large 313 kcmil conductors. This dual-termination approach reduces the need for adapters and minimizes fatigue at the contact interface. When wiring, ensure copper contacts are fully seated and crimped to manufacturer specifications to maintain optimal conductivity and vibration resistance in hazardous locations.
Yes. The E1049X-80 is Zone 2 rated for hazardous locations and carries NEC/CEC IECEx/ATEX certifications. It also aligns with IP54 ingress protection and NEMA 3R enclosure compatibility, supporting safe use in outdoor or wet environments. This combination confirms suitability for Class I, Division 2 environments and other regulated industrial settings.
The plug is rated for up to 636A continuous and 1000 Vac/dc, with a 313 kcmil cable size. These specifications enable high-power connections for heavy equipment such as large motors, pumps, and feeders while maintaining compliance with hazardous-location standards. Always verify system demand and cable routing to optimize performance and minimize voltage drop.
Reliability is achieved through a rubber housing that absorbs mechanical stress, copper contact materials for low resistance, and robust sealing to achieve IP54 protection. Zone 2 and Class I Division 2 ratings further ensure compliance with hazardous-location codes. The combination reduces maintenance intervals, improves uptime, and supports long-term performance in vibration-heavy or moisture-prone settings.
