Eaton Specification Sheet - CS8465EX
Locking plug with Pro Grip design delivers a secure, twist-and-lock connection that withstands vibration. This reduces unplanned outages and rework in conveyors, robotics, and control panels, improving overall equipment availability. Back wiring supports fast terminations with reduced field errors. By accommodating #10-4 AWG conductors and a 0.44-1.06 inch cord diameter, it accelerates wiring while maintaining consistent torque and reliability. Durable materials improve uptime in harsh settings. The glass-filled nylon body coupled with zinc-plated brass contacts delivers robust mechanical strength and reliable conductivity, even in temperature extremes. Designed for high-current industrial circuits, the 50 A, 480 V rating ensures compatibility with typical plant feeders. The non-NEMA, two-pole, three-wire configuration with red/black color coding supports clear, safe installation workflows. Operating temperature range from -40 to 105 °C expands usable life in cold rooms and hot machinery cabinets. This, combined with California standard alignment, RoHS, and cULus listing, reduces compliance risk and simplifies supplier approvals. Installation and maintenance advantages include a defined torque rating of 45 lbf-in and clear product specifications, supporting technicians in commissioning checks and future servicing.

FAQs
Yes. The CS8465EX is designed for back-wiring termination and supports a conductor range of #10-4 AWG with a cord diameter of 0.44 to 1.06 inches. It carries a 50 A, 480 V rating and uses a Pro Grip locking mechanism to prevent accidental disconnections in vibration-prone equipment. Ensure conductors are fully seated and torqued to 45 lbf-in during assembly.
The CS8465EX is RoHS compliant and cULus Listed, with California standard alignment. These certifications confirm environmental compliance and electrical safety, supporting regulatory audits and enabling smoother integration with existing plant wiring devices and enclosures.
The locking plug operates from -40 to 105 °C (-40 to 221 °F). It features a glass-filled nylon body and zinc-plated brass contacts, delivering durability, corrosion resistance, and reliable current transfer suitable for demanding industrial environments.
The Pro Grip locking mechanism provides a secure, vibration-resistant connection that minimizes downtime and rework in automation lines and conveyors. With a 50 A, 480 V rating and a non-NEMA two-pole, three-wire configuration, it remains compatible with common industrial cords while enhancing safety and reliability in dynamic manufacturing settings.
To maximize performance and compliance, install with proper torque of 45 lbf-in, use back-wiring for #10-4 AWG conductors, and verify RoHS and cULus listings. Ensure alignment with the California standard footprint, use appropriate strain relief, and pair with matching connectors to maintain electrical integrity and regulatory acceptance plant-wide.
