USB-C / USB-C interior charger - Stainless steel - TILE Series

To install the Scanstrut TILE Series USB-C charger, you must drill a 29 mm diameter hole (1 1/8 inch) using a hole saw. The charger body (barrel) has a 28 mm diameter, so the 29 mm hole allows for precise fitment.

For installation, you will need:

A 29 mm (1 1/8 inch) hole saw to drill the mounting hole.A 2 mm (5/64 inch) or 2.5 mm (3/32 inch) drill bit for the pilot holes for the mounting screws.A Pozidriv (Pozi) screwdriver to tighten the supplied screws.

The minimum installation depth required is 3 mm (0.12 inch). This means you need at least 3 mm of free space behind the panel to accommodate the charger body.

Yes, absolutely. This charger supports the main fast-charging protocols: USB-C Power Delivery (PD) 3.0 and Quick Charge (QC) 4. It can thus quickly recharge most smartphones, tablets, and other USB-C compatible devices.

You can charge any USB-C compatible devices, such as smartphones (iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel, etc.), tablets (iPad Pro, Samsung Galaxy Tab), laptops (MacBook, ultrabooks), headphones, power banks, and other electronic gadgets using a USB-C connection.

Maximum power depends on your electrical system voltage:

On a 12V system: up to 36W (12V⎓3A).On a 24V system: up to 60W (20V⎓3A).To reach the maximum 60W power, you must be on a 24V system and use a device compatible with USB-C PD protocol.

Yes, it is designed to operate on the two most common electrical systems on boats: 12V and 24V systems. The input voltage range is 10 to 32V DC, making it compatible with lead-acid, AGM, gel, or lithium batteries.

Yes, if your laptop recharges via USB-C and is compatible with Power Delivery (PD) protocol, you can recharge it. However, for optimal charging (up to 60W), you must be on a 24V system. On a 12V system, power will be limited to 36W, which may suffice for slow charging or maintaining the battery.

Standby power consumption is extremely low, less than 0.1W. This means it will not significantly discharge your boat battery when no device is connected.

The only difference between these two models is the material and finish of the decorative bezel:

SC-TILE-20: Black plastic bezel.SC-TILE-21: Brushed stainless steel bezel, more durable and aesthetic.Technical and electrical specifications are strictly identical.

This charger holds multiple certifications ensuring its safety and compliance: CE, FCC, UKCA, C-Tick, RoHS, WEEE, and UN ECE R10. It is therefore compliant with international standards for marine and automotive use.

The product is supplied with:

1 x decorative front panel (brushed stainless steel for SC-TILE-21).1 x USB-C charger.2 x No.4 x 20 mm mounting screws.1 x flying lead cable harness (approx. 150 mm).

The charger is supplied with a flying lead cable bundle approximately 150 mm long. The cable is 18 AWG. It is critical to maintain a minimum bend radius of 15 mm for this cable during installation.

Yes, it is highly recommended, or even mandatory, to install an appropriate fuse or circuit breaker between the power source (battery) and the charger. This protects the wiring in case of a short circuit. The maximum input current is 6A, so a 10A fuse is generally suitable.

Yes, absolutely. The charger can be installed in most dashboard materials, whether wood, plastic, laminate, or thin metal. Simply drill the 29 mm hole and secure the charger using the supplied screws. Just ensure the material is thick and strong enough to hold the charger in place.

Yes, it is compatible with all 12V or 24V battery types, including lithium batteries (LiFePO4, etc.). The input voltage range (10–32V DC) comfortably covers lithium battery voltages in both 12V and 24V systems.

Yes, the charger is designed to be connected directly to a 12V or 24V DC source. It includes all the necessary electronics to convert the input voltage into a stable and secure USB-C output. Simply observe the polarity (+ and -) when connecting.
