12 V Datasheet

This socket is specifically designed for demanding marine environments. Unlike standard automotive sockets, it features a twist-lock mechanism for secure attachment, preventing unintended disconnections caused by vibrations. It is also made from corrosion-resistant materials and includes an integrated sealing gasket.

It is designed to withstand the rigors of humid environments and constant vibrations typical of marine applications, ensuring reliable operation at sea.

All conductive components are made from nickel-plated copper alloy. This material choice ensures increased resistance to corrosion and oxidation, guaranteeing stable electrical contact and low voltage drop.

Yes, the socket is fitted with an integrated sealing gasket. This gasket helps protect the interior from water splashes and ensures a firm fit in the socket, contributing to its durability in a marine environment.

Yes, an LED indicator is built into the socket. This LED lights up to visually indicate when the socket is active and powered, providing a quick confirmation of its operation.

The nominal operating voltage of this socket is 12V DC. It is designed for use with electrical systems of this voltage.

The maximum continuous operating current for this socket is 10A DC. It is important not to exceed this value to ensure the safety and performance of the socket.

Yes, the socket is fitted with a built-in 10 amp fuse. This fuse provides essential protection against overcurrent, safeguarding connected equipment and the electrical circuit.

It uses wide contact surfaces for a stable connection and integrates a twist-lock mechanism. This system firmly secures the connector in the socket, reducing the risk of disconnection due to constant vibrations.

The internal cable gland is designed to protect wiring connections from mechanical tension and movement. It ensures improved durability and reliability of electrical connections inside the connector.

This socket offers flexible installation and can be used for front-panel, rear-panel, or surface mounting, adapting to various onboard configurations.

Connect the wiring to the positive and negative terminals of the plug. It is recommended to remove the cable tie before passing the wiring through the opening, then reinstall it once the connections are made to secure the wires.

Yes, for wiring, it is necessary to separate the two halves of the housing, remove the cable tie, the rubber ring, the fuse cap, the fuse holder, the spring, and the fuse, as well as the assembly screw, to access the connection terminals.

Yes, after connecting the wires to the positive and negative terminals and reinstalling the cable tie, you must reassemble all components in the reverse order of disassembly, ensuring each part is correctly positioned and secured.

Yes, the installation instructions specify removing the fuse cap, fuse holder, spring, and fuse before connecting the wiring. This provides easy access to the terminals and ensures safety during installation, with the fuse reinstalled afterward.

This connector is designed to mate with the corresponding female connectors in the Blue Sea Systems range. It forms a secure and reliable power system thanks to its twist-lock mechanism.

No, this connector is specifically designed for a nominal voltage of 12V DC. Using it with 24V DC systems may damage the connector or connected equipment.

Although the specific cable type is not mentioned, it is imperative to use appropriately gauged and marine-certified wiring capable of handling a continuous current of up to 10 amperes to ensure safety and performance.

No, the socket is designed for a maximum operating current of 10A DC. Connecting accessories drawing more than 10 amperes may damage the socket, the built-in fuse, or the electrical circuit, and poses a safety hazard.
