Cam-Lok “J” Power Series
Crouse-Hinds Cam-Lok single pole connectors are special-
ly designed to provide the ultimate in reliable service even
under the most severe operating conditions.
These single pole plugs and receptacles are insulated in a
specially formulated elastomeric material for watertight-
ness and safety. They allow you to connect or disconnect
electrical equipment instantly without tools. Cam-Lok con-
ectors are the industry standard for motors, generators,
indoor and outdoor lighting distribution panels, and numer-
ous other power applications.
Crouse-Hinds Cam-Lok “J” Series plugs are available in
two styles: field-attachable non-vulcanized and field-attach-
able vulcanized. Both meet NEMA 3R requirements. The
“J” Power Series offers a choice of three cable ranges:
E1015 Series — For cable size #8-4, 600 volts, rated up
to 150 amperes continuous.
E1016 Series — For cable size #2-4/0, 600 volts, rated
up to 400 amperes continuous.
E1017 Series — For cable size 350-750CM, 600 volts,
rated up to 690 amperes continuous.
With “J” Power connectors you get:
EXCLUSIVE CAM-LOK ACTION FOR HIGH CONDUC-
TIVITY — Cam-Lok’s double cam principle provides a posi-
tive, vibration proof connection. Just 1/3 of a turn assures
a high pressure contact approaching 600 lbs. per sq./in.
providing minimum resistance. It gives the best electrical
and mechanical connection possible. There is no moving
of contact surfaces and therefore, no arcing or burning of
contacts. The contacts are a high conductivity copper
base alloy carefully machined to a smooth sliding fit, even
before locking. SELF-COMPENSATING for wear. Locked
contacts will withstand a pulling force of 1000 lbs.
RECESSED CONTACTS — Thermoplastic rubber or neo-
prene insulated jacket extends past end of both male and
female contacts for insulation and safety.
COLOR CODED INSULATORS — All insulators are molded
from colorfast material. The five different colors provide
fast, easy phase identification.
SAFETY INSULATED PANEL RECEPTACLES — Panel
mounted receptacles permit cable to be quickly connected
or disconnected. Available in both male and female recep-
tacles, they are insulated for direct mounting to steel pan-
els thus eliminating costly insulating boards and reducing
assembly time. They come with a threaded stud for lug
connection or double set screws for connecting cable
directly.
INTERCONNECTIBILITY — All connectors within a series
have the same connection diameter allowing you to con-
nect smaller cables to larger ones. For example, in the
E1016 Series you can connect a #2 to a 4/0 cable connec-
tor without an adapter.
