Shore Power Connector (Female) 16A 230V IP67 – Marine Waterproof Socket

This 16A female shore power connector is designed for the boat side of the connection, ensuring your shore power cable attaches securely and stays dry. The socket features a threaded coupling ring that locks onto a compatible male inlet (such as one mounted on your boat), creating an IP67 waterproof seal to keep out rain and spray. Constructed from robust marine-grade plastic, it resists UV damage and impact, and includes a tethered cap to cover the opening when not in use, keeping the contacts clean and dry.

Rated for 230V AC up to 16A, this connector safely delivers dockside electrical power to your vessel’s systems. The internal female contacts are made of nickel-plated brass for superior corrosion resistance and conductivity. Installation and use are straightforward: simply wire the connector to your shore power cable and screw it onto the boat’s inlet whenever you need to connect to shore power. The locking ring prevents the connection from loosening due to motion or tension on the cable, giving peace of mind during prolonged hookups.

Use Cases and Recommendations :

• Perfect for connecting a 16A shore power cord to your boat’s power inlet. The female socket attaches on the boat side, providing a secure point of connection for dockside electricity.
• Recommended for boats with a 16A shore power system (typical for smaller vessels and sailboats up to ~10 m) that require a waterproof solution for power hookup at the dock.
• The IP67 seal makes it suitable for use in exposed locations on deck – it keeps the electrical connection dry even in heavy rain or wave spray on board.
• Use this female connector to replace a worn or damaged cord-end on your shore power cable. It’s compatible with any standard 16A male inlet (including Marinco inlets and others).
• When not connected, close the built-in cap to protect the contacts from salt, debris, and moisture – this extends the connector’s lifespan and maintains its reliability.
