Rugged and well designed for harsh environments

These are some of the best picks I've used. The sockets are well built, come with a trim plate and rear locking nut, and feature a Blue Sea locking feature that keeps the plug in place in even the most turbulent conditions. The connectors are well designed and very easy to connect, with terminal holes for inserting the bare/twisted end of the wire. The 16 Ga cable is no problem both in the terminal and inside the housing (enough space for wiring). The output cable clamp is functional and has a…

Pros
  • Socket has a waterproof cover, easy installation and locks in place with plug
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks

Excellent build quality but a few things to watch out for

Excellent build quality but a few things to watch out for. I bought the version with USB charger, the physical characteristics of the plug are identical.

The jig has two shallow cuts along the cylindrical body as seen in the figures. I had to cut the exact shape, nearly a 1-1/8" circle with an uncut flat top and…

Pros
  • Nickel plated copper alloy for all live parts
Cons
  • I'm nervous

The plug looks good but is disconnected.

Arrived today and seems really well made. I took the connector apart and it seems easy to connect. Since I only have a cigarette lighter, I'm not sure if that would be an issue. UPDATE: I am using a plug (male) in a different 12v outlet. The slightest impact will cause the connector to trip. Actually I thought it had a built in switch, click on/off. Unfortunately it turns on the backup camera in my camper van so when I arrive the camera is off until I get in and plug it back in. This defeats…

Pros
  • Twist lock system - plug stays securely in socket
Cons
  • Some little things
