Dual 12V / 24V Universal Cigarette Lighter Socket — Heavy-Duty Waterproof Power Outlet
Add a reliable power point anywhere on your vehicle with this Dual 12V/24V Heavy-Duty Marine and Automotive Power Socket. Many outdoor and off-grid vehicles—such as boats, camper vans, motorcycles, and ATVs—require extra power points to run portable fridges, GPS units, or heavy-duty tire inflators.
Built with an IP66/IP68 waterproof rubber cap and robust, corrosion-resistant internal terminals, this flush-mount socket safely handles high-current auxiliary demands in wet or dusty outdoor environments.
Key Product Features
Dual 12V and 24V DC Adaptability: Fully compatible with standard 12-Volt car and motorcycle batteries as well as 24-Volt heavy truck, boat, and RV dual-battery layouts.
Weatherproof Protective Cover: Features a tightly sealed, snap-on rubber dust cap that shrugs off water splashes, mud, rain, and grit, earning it an IP68-grade protection rating for marine decks or open handlebars.
Vibration-Resistant Lock-Nut Design: Outfitted with a threaded cylindrical barrel and a heavy-duty backing nut, allowing you to lock it into place behind dashboard panels or console fairings.
Nickel-Plated Core Contacts: Constructed with thick copper alloy internal spring contacts to maximize electrical conductivity, preventing power drops and heat buildup under extended high-load use.
Pre-Wired Inline Fuse Safety: Typically bundled with an inline safety fuse configuration (like a 10A or 15A fuse blade) to safeguard your electrical grid from sudden overcurrent spikes or short circuits.
Versatile Applications Across Your Fleet
Marine Boats & Yachts: Mounts directly into exposed cockpit dash panels or flybridges, resisting salt spray to run marine spotlights and fish finders.
Adventure Motorcycles & ATVs: Clamps or mounts onto handlebars to provide uninterrupted power to active phone mounts or sat-nav screens during rainy backcountry rides.
RVs & Overland Camper Vans: Adds convenient auxiliary power points next to rear beds, storage bays, or kitchenettes to run portable fans, 12V travel kettles, and mini-fridges.
Panel Installation and Wiring Guide
Wiring Orientation Check: Always verify polarity with a multimeter before connecting power. Look closely at the back of the socket casing—the terminal stamped with a plus sign (+) or connected to the Red wire is Positive, while the terminal stamped with a minus sign (-) or connected to the Black wire is Negative.
Drill the Mounting Hole: Use a standard 29mm to 30mm (approx. 1.18-inch) hole saw bit to drill through your dashboard plastic, fiberglass boat panel, or metal bracket.
Thread and Lock: Insert the socket barrel from the front of the panel with the waterproof cap attached. Rotate the heavy-duty plastic retaining lock-nut onto the threads from behind and tighten it firmly by hand.
Connect to Your Battery: Slide the pre-insulated female spade connectors directly onto the two rear metal blades. Route the fused wire assembly cleanly back to your fuse block or directly to your battery terminals, anchoring the lines with zip ties to prevent rattling.
