Plugs & sockets
Plugs & Sockets is a specialized subcategory within Electrical & Electronics. Here you will find onboard connectors for 12/24 V DC (e.g., onboard electrical systems, electrical devices, chargers) as well as 230 V AC for shore power and onboard power—including CEE plugs, shore power receptacles, adapters, power strips, and accessories. The goal is a safe, corrosion-resistant, and practical power supply on board—from pleasure boats to yachts.
Our product range (subject to availability) includes brands such as Marinco, Talamex, Lindemann, and Navyline (as well as, depending on the item, compatible components/standards such as CEE or marine-standard shore power systems). Brand names remain unchanged—important for fit, sealing systems, and spare part compatibility.
For connectors, the most important factors are: voltage & current, protection rating (splash/moisture), corrosion protection, mechanical stability, and professional installation. Clean connections reduce contact resistance, heat generation, and contact issues—and increase operational safety in everyday onboard use.
- Selecting a system: 12/24 V DC vs. 230 V AC (shore power/AC) – do not mix.
- Load capacity: rated current (e.g., 16 A) + reserves, appropriate fuses/circuit protection, and cable cross-section.
- Installation environment: exterior/interior, splash water, UV, salt – select protection class and materials accordingly.
- Compatibility: Standard/plug system (CEE, Schuko, marine-specific systems), mounting dimensions, wiring diagram, accessories (cover, gasket, inlet).
Examples from the product range: 230V 16A shore power plug; adapter cable from CEE plug to Schuko connector 230V 16A; CEE-Schuko 230V 16A combination distributor/distribution box; built-in shore power outlets and covers – depending on the model.
FAQ
How do I identify the correct version (shore power, vehicle electrical system, consumer)?
First, check the voltage (12/24 V DC or 230 V AC) and rated current (e.g., 16A for shore power). Then consider the connector system/standard (e.g., CEE for shore power, Schuko only via suitable adapters/distributors), installation location (indoor/outdoor), and the protection rating (splash-proof/moisture-proof). For outdoor installation, robust, tightly sealed junction boxes with covers and corrosion-resistant contacts are recommended.
CEE or Schuko – what is common on board and what is safe?
For shore power on boats, CEE 230V 16A is the standard because the plug connection is mechanically more stable and clearly defined. Schuko can be used as a temporary solution (e.g., via adapter cables or splitters), but should not be the “permanent solution” for outdoor shore power supply. If in doubt, refer to the existing onboard shore power outlet and the marina’s system.
What compatibility factors are particularly important?
Important factors include the plug system (CEE/Schuko/marine-specific), mounting dimensions (cutout, hole pattern, depth), connection diagram (terminals, cable routing, strain relief), and the current/voltage rating. For flush-mount boxes, the seal (cover/flange) is also important, as well as whether accessories such as a cover cap or inlet fit the respective model.
Installation: What to look out for (splash water, corrosion, secure contacts)?
Install flush-mount boxes on a stable, clean surface and seal the flange with a suitable sealant. Use corrosion-resistant screws, install strain relief, and route cables so they do not rub against anything. Crimp or screw all contacts securely; no “loose strands.” After installation: Perform a functional test and visual inspection, especially after the first few trips or exposure to wave action.
What are the typical causes of hot connectors or intermittent faults?
These are often contact resistances caused by loose screws, corroded contacts, unsuitable crimps, or wires that are too thin. Dirty or damp connectors can also cause problems. If a connector becomes noticeably warm: stop operation, check the contacts, and fix the cause—this is a safety warning.
How can the equipment remain reliable in the long term (maintenance & inspection)?
Regularly inspect for corrosion, verdigris, loose contacts, and damaged seals. After exposure to saltwater or splashing water, occasionally rinse with fresh water (only when de-energized) and allow to dry. Keep protective caps and covers closed. Store adapter cables and distributors in a dry place and avoid kinks.
Do I need additional protection or an RCD/circuit breaker on board?
For 230V shore power, a properly fused electrical system with suitable protective devices (e.g., RCD and circuit protection) is essential. Which configuration is right for you depends on the installation, applicable standards, and the design of your electrical system. If you let us know whether it involves shore power supply, a distribution panel, or a retrofit, we can narrow down the options clearly and practically.
