Eaton E1049X-84 Roughneck Plug - Zone 2 rated
Part Number: E1049X-84
Quick Summary
The Eaton E1049X-84 Roughneck Plug is a high-amperage connector for hazardous-location power distribution. Operators often struggle with durable, compliant plugs that survive tough environments and meet installation standards. This unit carries Zone 2 ratings along with NEC/CEC and IECEx/ATEX certifications, plus IP54 protection and a NEMA 3R enclosure, providing confidence in rugged industrial settings. By integrating copper contacts, a rubber housing, and a choice of hexagon crimp or solder connections, it delivers reliable performance with reduced maintenance and faster, safer installations. In practice, this translates to lower downtime, smoother audits, and predictable lifecycle costs for industrial facilities deploying high-current power links.

FAQs
The E1049X-84 carries Zone 2 (IECEx/ATEX), NEC/CEC compliance, IP54 protection, and a NEMA 3R rating. These certifications confirm suitability for hazardous locations, provide documented safety performance, and support regulatory acceptance across multiple regions, reducing project risk and simplifying approvals for industrial facilities.
Yes. The plug is designed for 313 kcmil cables and supports up to 636A continuous current. This combination enables handling of sizable feeders and motor loads while maintaining safe, low-resistance connections in demanding environments.
Installation options include hexagon crimp or solder termination. The connector is a female Roughneck plug with rubber housing, designed for robust field assembly, quick mating, and reliable performance in vibration-prone or harsh environments.
Ideal for Class I, Division 2 zones and Zone 2 areas, especially in oil and gas, chemical processing, mining, and industrial plants. Its IP54 protection and rugged construction make it well-suited for outdoor enclosures, process yards, and temporary power fleets in hazardous locations.
The combination of copper contacts and durable rubber housing reduces contact resistance over time and resists environmental wear, lowering maintenance cycles. Certifications ease audits, and the robust design minimizes downtime, delivering a favorable total cost of ownership for high-current hazardous-area power connections.
