It accepts 12V or 24V DC input with a 9-32V DC input range and supplies 5V DC output at up to 2.1A total across the two USB ports.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe charger fits the same mounting hole as a traditional 12V outlet, using a 1 1\/8 in (28.58 mm) diameter cutout. That makes it a practical upgrade for helm panels, cabins, cockpit accessory panels, nav stations, and other protected locations where a standard socket is already installed or planned.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA tethered protective cap helps keep dust and spray away from the USB ports when they are not in use. The unit is IP45 rated with the cover closed, uses corrosion resistant contact materials, and has potted electronics for the harsh marine environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual USB charging ports let two mobile devices charge from one mounted socket.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorks with 12V and 24V DC systems, with a 9-32V DC input range for common marine electrical setups.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5V DC output with a maximum total output current of 2.1A DC.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits a 1 1\/8 in (28.58 mm) diameter cutout, matching the mounting hole used by many traditional 12V outlets.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProtective dust cap with tether helps reduce exposure to dust and spray when the ports are not in use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIP45 rating applies with the cover closed, suitable for protected marine mounting locations that may see spray or washdown mist.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePotted electronics help the charger stand up to vibration, humidity, and the harsh marine environment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReverse polarity protection, short circuit protection, and thermal overload protection are built in.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with most mobile devices, including Apple products.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA 2A supply fuse is required and is not included.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eVariants\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis charger is offered in two color configurations for matching different helm, console, cabin, and panel layouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe electrical specifications, mounting cutout, USB output, protective cap, and protection features are consistent across the variants. The difference is the visible color of the charger body.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1016 - Black. The black version blends well with dark switch panels, black acrylic dashboards, and helm layouts where other DC accessories use a dark finish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1016200 - White. The white version suits light-colored consoles, cabin panels, and fiberglass areas where a white accessory face looks more natural.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis charger is made for panel mounting in an existing or new 12V outlet-style opening. The 1 1\/8 in diameter cutout is useful when replacing an older socket with a USB charging point, especially in a helm, cabin, or accessory panel where space is limited.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor wiring, the charger should be connected to a protected 12V or 24V DC circuit with the required 2A supply fuse. The socket uses .250 female quick connect terminals, so matching terminals and a clean crimp are important for a secure connection in a vibration-prone boat environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse cases on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis charger is a good match for boats that need a simple fixed USB charging point without adding a larger electronics module. It fits well at the helm for a phone running navigation apps, in the cabin for overnight charging, or near a cockpit accessory panel for USB-powered gear used during fishing, cruising, or dockside time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause the cap protects the ports when closed, it is best used where occasional spray, humidity, and dust are expected, while still keeping the USB face covered when charging is not needed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blue Sea Systems","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":52023040049333,"sku":"QBP408765-V0","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White","offer_id":52023040082101,"sku":"QBP408765-V1","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1333302_qbp408765.jpg?v=1780191634","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp408765","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
