Roughneck E1049 Series Connectors
Installation & Maintenance Information
APPLICATION
These connectors and receptacles are designed for distribution of 1000 volts
AC or DC power up to 1135 amperes continuous duty for such applications as
generators to motors, generators to SCR center, SCR panel to motors on mud
pumps, drill table, draw works, or other heavy duty requirements for land or
offshore drilling rigs. They are not designed for interrupting current. DO NOT
connect or disconnect while live. Turn power off and lock out before making or
breaking connections.
MALE CONNECTOR is used on power side of circuit for connection to portable
cable. Contacts are sized to match cable size and must be ordered for specific
cable size. Contacts may be attached to cable by crimping or soldering. See
Table 1 for recommended crimping dies and equipment. Connectors and cable
shall be sized in accordance with applicable electrical code.
FEMALE CONNECTOR is used on machine or motor side of circuit for
connection to portable cable. Contacts are sized to match cable size and
must be ordered for specific cable size. Contacts may be attached to cable
by crimping or soldering. See Table 1 for recommended crimping dies and
equipment.
MALE RECEPTACLE is used on power side of circuit.
FEMALE RECEPTACLE is used on machine or motor side of circuit.
Receptacles must be mounted on panel or box in accordance with applicable
electrical code to provide proper spacing between units and full protection from
live parts.
Receptacles are available with single or double bolt hole bus bar for attaching
cable terminals. Cable must be fully supported to prevent excessive strain on
receptacle contact.
Receptacles must be mounted on non-magnetic panel such as aluminum or 300
Series stainless steel to prevent excessive heating caused by induction heating
when used in AC applications. DO NOT USE AN ELECTRICALLY INSULATING
MATERIAL AS MOUNTING SHELL BOLTS PROVIDE EQUIPMENT GROUND
FOR MOUNTING SHELL.
Maximum thickness ¼" , minimum panel thickness 12 gauge, enclosure shall
provide:
a. protection from hazard,
b. mechanical strength to prevent distortion and provide for internal parts when
cables are pulled or pushed in normal operation,
c. compliance with applicable electrical code.
LOCKING MEANS – The male or female receptacle has a heavy metal shell
with a locking device to secure the mating plug to the receptacle housing. The
male or female connector has a heavy metal ring molded into insulator having a
groove machined into it which accepts the locking rods of the receptacle locking
device or the clevis pin of the in-line coupler. When the connector assembly
is fully engaged with a receptacle and the locking device is fully activated, the
connector and receptacle assembly are locked together. The receptacle locking
device is provided with the capability to add a lockout tag device. The in-line
connections are secured through the use of a clevis pin design. When the
connector is engaged with a mating connector, the clevis pin is inserted into the
holes of the in-line coupler and through the groove in the connector to securely
lock the units together. The in-line connector clevis pin is provided with holes in
ends for use of safety wires or lead seal wires to prevent accidental removal of
locking pin.

PROTECTIVE CAPS – Protective caps are recommended for sealing unmated
receptacles or connectors for protection against dust, water, moisture or
other contamination, and to ensure complete safety. Part Number A201113-1
(Protective Cap for Male or Female Receptacle), A201113-6 (Protective Cap for
Male Plug), A201114-4 (Protective Cap for Female Plug).
CIRCUIT IDENTIFICATION – The connector and receptacle insulators are
available in the following colors for circuit identification: black, yellow, red,
orange, green, white, blue, brown, purple and gray. Be careful to assemble
proper insulator onto specific cable. Following is suggested color code for use

ELECTRICAL RATING – Mated connectors or connectors and receptacles are
rated at 1000 volts AC or DC as follows continuous duty in open air. They will
accept overload surges of 125% for 15 minute intervals. Ampacity is based
on cable used on receptacle and/or connector. The smaller MCM cable size
determines maximum ampacity for that circuit. Use copper cable only.

ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE
!
ONLY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL TO WORK ON CONNECTORS AND
RECEPTACLES.
MALE OR FEMALE RECEPTACLES – Male receptacle must be used on power
side, female receptacle on machine side. Receptacle consists of an insulator
and contact assembly, a mounting shell and protective cap. The wiring
panel or box must have a mounting hole machined per mounting dimensions
shown below. A rubber gasket must be assembled between mounting shell
and panel. Male or female receptacles must be mounted to the panel in
accordance with applicable electrical code.
