Hubbell HBL61CM71 Adapter 30A Female To 50A 250V Male
Hubbell HBL61CM71 Adapter 30A Female To 50A 250V Male Product Description
Power Up Your Vessel with Reliable Marine Connectivity
Boat owners know the frustration of mismatched shore power connections at the dock. Whether you're upgrading from a standard 30-amp setup to tap into a more powerful 50-amp pedestal or need a versatile adapter for varying marina outlets, this Hubbell marine adapter bridges the gap seamlessly. Designed for the harsh marine environment, it converts a 30A 125V straight blade female connector to a robust 50A 125/250V twist-lock male plug, ensuring stable power delivery even in wet, salty conditions.
Built with corrosion-resistant composite materials, this yellow adapter stands out for safety and visibility while withstanding the elements. It's not just an accessory—it's a critical tool for keeping your electronics, air conditioning, and appliances running smoothly during extended stays at sea or in the harbor.
Standout Features for Marine Durability
- Corrosion-Resistant Construction: Engineered with high-grade composite materials that resist saltwater corrosion, UV exposure, and chemical damage common in boating environments.
- Weatherproof Design: IP55-rated for superior moisture resistance, protecting against rain, splashes, and high humidity without compromising performance.
- Secure Twist-Lock Connection: The 50A male end features a 3-pole, 4-wire grounding locking mechanism for a vibration-proof, reliable fit that won't disconnect unexpectedly.
- Insulated Body: Fully molded insulation prevents shocks and ensures safe handling, even with wet hands.
- Wide Temperature Range: Operates reliably from -40°C to 75°C continuous, ideal for everything from arctic cruises to tropical voyages.
- High-Visibility Yellow: Easy to spot on deck or in storage, reducing the risk of trips or loss.
Why Boaters Trust This Adapter for Shore Power
Transitioning between different power sources is a common challenge for recreational and commercial vessels alike. This adapter empowers you to access higher amperage without expensive rewiring or equipment swaps. It's perfect for:
- RVs parked at marinas doubling as boat slips.
- Yachts or sailboats with 30A inlets needing 50A pedestal power for onboard generators or heavy loads.
- Extended anchoring with occasional dock-ups for recharging batteries and systems.
Hubbell's legacy in marine-grade wiring devices means this adapter exceeds industry standards for safety and longevity. Unlike generic options that fail prematurely in saltwater, this one delivers consistent power while minimizing downtime and repair hassles.
Easy Integration into Your Boating Setup
Installation is straightforward—no tools required. Simply connect the 30A female end to your boat's shore power cord or inlet, then plug the twist-lock male into the 50A dock pedestal. The grounding design ensures full protection against faults, and the compact, lightweight build stores easily in your gear locker.
Pro Tip: Always match voltage ratings and use GFCI-protected outlets when available. Inspect connections before each use to maintain peak performance.
