Made in Mainland China.

Bare Open Wire End — Total Wiring Flexibility

No factory pre-crimped ring terminal means you're in full control. Freely crimp any OT ring terminal size to match your bolt requirements — compatible with M3, M4, M5, M6, M8, and M10 specifications. Works seamlessly with lithium battery, lead-acid battery, and a wide range of power unit wiring setups.

12AWG Heavy-Duty Pure Copper Cable

The thickened 12AWG pure-copper wire delivers outstanding load-bearing capacity, stable power transmission, and minimal heat generation under demanding high-current conditions. Perfectly suited for powering high-draw accessories like car refrigerators, tire inflators, and other 12–24V vehicle-mounted devices.

Inline Fuse Holder with Dust-Proof Protective Cover

The integrated inline fuse holder provides reliable over-current and short-circuit protection — cutting power immediately in overload conditions to safeguard your socket, wiring harness, and connected equipment. The dust-proof cover shields the fuse from debris and water splash, extending service life in tough vehicle and marine environments.

Panel-Mount Embedded Socket Structure

The panel-through installation design, secured with a locking nut, makes it easy to mount on dashboards, battery boxes, cabinet panels, or yacht housings. The firm mounting structure withstands vibration from driving and sailing. The standard female cigarette lighter port is compatible with the vast majority of male cigarette lighter plugs on the market.

Wide Application Scenarios

Designed for 12–24V DC systems, this socket is the go-to solution for motorcycles, ATVs, UTVs, cars, yachts, boats, RVs, and campers. Ideal for adding a new power port, replacing an old or broken socket, off-road builds, or any marine power wiring project.
