Sea-Dog USB-A/USB-C Charging Socket, 12V/24V Marine
Sea-Dog USB-A/USB-C Charging Socket, 12V/24V Marine — Product description
Sea-Dog's dual USB charging socket puts a USB-A port, a USB-C port, and a 12-volt cigarette lighter outlet in one square surface-mount plate. It runs on anything from 8 to 32 volts DC, so it drops straight into a boat, RV, or truck. The blue LED display makes the ports easy to find after dark.
If you've ever crawled behind the dash to wire up a charger, then done it again a month later for a second device, you'll appreciate what this Sea-Dog panel does. It combines a standard 12-volt cigarette lighter socket with two USB ports, one USB-A and one USB-C, on a single square surface-mount plate. One cutout, one wiring job, three ways to power your gear.
The input range is the part that makes it flexible. It accepts 8 to 32 volts DC, so it works on 12-volt and 24-volt systems without any change. That covers just about every boat, RV, camper, and vehicle out there. Wire it to a switched or always-on circuit depending on whether you want the ports live all the time.
USB output is rated at 5 volts and 6 amps, enough to keep a phone, a tablet, or a handheld GPS topped off while you're running. The USB-C port is handy for newer phones and anything that's moved off the older connector. And the blue LED display gives you a soft glow so you can find the ports at night without groping around the console.
Build quality is what you'd expect from Sea-Dog. The housing is nylon, which holds up to salt air and the odd splash better than bare metal, and the whole unit measures just 1-15/16 inches square by 3/4 inch deep. That compact footprint matters when you're fitting it into a tight helm, a center console, or a dash panel where space is already spoken for.
This is a wired, surface-mount unit, so plan on running leads to a fused power source. It's a straightforward job for anyone comfortable with basic DC wiring, and it's a clean upgrade over a loose plug-in adapter that rattles out of the socket every time you hit a wake. It's RoHS and CE compliant too. If you want one tidy spot to charge devices and still keep a 12-volt socket free for a pump, a light, or an inflator, this is a simple, honest fix.

Frequently asked questions
Does this have a USB-C port?
Yes. It has one USB-C port and one USB-A port, plus the 12-volt cigarette lighter socket. The USB-C port works with newer phones and devices that have moved to that connector.
Will it work on a 24-volt system?
Yes. The input range is 8 to 32 volts DC, so it runs on both 12-volt and 24-volt systems without any adjustment.
How much power do the USB ports put out?
The USB output is rated at 5 volts and 6 amps, which is enough to charge phones, tablets, and handheld electronics while you're underway.
Can I still use the cigarette lighter socket while charging?
Yes. The cigarette lighter socket is separate from the two USB ports, so you can run a plug-in accessory and charge devices at the same time.
How is it mounted?
It's a wired, surface-mount unit. You cut a square opening, mount the plate, and run the leads to a fused DC power source. The footprint is 1-15/16 inches square.
Is it okay for a boat?
Yes. It's rated for both vehicle and marine use, and the nylon housing holds up to salt air and the occasional splash better than bare metal.
