Eaton Crouse-Hinds E1049X-9 Roughneck plug - Zone 2
Part Number: E1049X-9
Quick Summary
Eaton Crouse-Hinds Roughneck E1049 plug is a rugged, high-amperage connector designed for heavy electrical installations in hazardous locations. In demanding environments, maintenance windows are tight and terminations must endure harsh conditions without frequent service. Key certifications drive safety and compliance: Zone 2 hazardous rating, IP54 ingress protection, and NEC/CEC IECEx/ATEX standards. Designed for 535 kcmil conductors and up to 898 A continuous, it streamlines sourcing and reduces the number of distinct parts across projects. This translates to safer installations, faster field work, and lower lifecycle costs while supporting reliable uptime in critical industrial operations.
