Frequently Asked Questions

What makes this connector different from standard AC connectors?

This connector is specifically rated for DC power at 28V, unlike AC connectors that were previously used but not properly rated for DC applications. It provides proper DC voltage and current handling for electric fishing reel systems, ensuring safe and reliable operation.

Can this connector be used with 12V trolling motors?

While rated for 28V DC systems, this connector is designed specifically for electric fishing reels, not trolling motors. Trolling motors typically use different connector types and power requirements. Consult with a marine electrician for proper trolling motor power connections.

Is this connector suitable for permanent outdoor installation?

Yes, when used with appropriate Hubbell outlet boxes and weatherproof cover plates (like the HBL74CM25WOA), this connector system is designed for permanent marine installation. The UV-stabilized nylon and corrosion-resistant construction ensure long-term outdoor durability.

What type of receptacle does this male connector mate with?

This male connector mates with the Hubbell HBL328DCR receptacle, which is the corresponding female component in this DC locking connector system. Both components are required for a complete electrical connection.

Can this handle the power requirements of large electric fishing reels?

Yes, with a 30-amp DC rating, this connector is specifically designed to handle the high power requirements of large electric fishing reel systems. It was developed to address the need for proper DC-rated connectors in high-power fishing reel applications.

Power your fishing success with Hubbell Marine's innovative DC electrical solutions. The HBL328DCP represents a significant advancement in marine electrical technology, providing the first true DC-rated connector system designed specifically for the demanding requirements of modern electric fishing reel applications.

Hubbell HBL328DCP 30A DC Plug

Model: HBL328DCP
UPC: 78358535312

Hubbell has introduced a DC rated electrical system designed specifically for larger electric fishing reel systems.

Up until now, larger electrical fishing reel systems typically utilized 30Amp AC rated corrosion resistant devices since there were no DC rated devices.

The new system features a corrosion resistant plug, connector Body and receptacle and can be used along with a Hubbell Outlet box and weather proof cover plate to complete the installation.

These devices are all rated at 28 volts DC and are applicable for all 12, 24 and 32 volt DC fishing reel systems.

The devices are UL listed and CSA certified.

All devices are made of high-visibility yellow nylon that is impact resistant and U.V. stabilized for longer life. Also, the contacts are nickel plated for corrosion resistance.
