Blue Sea Systems 1045 Dual USB Fast Charge Socket Mount, 12V/24V, 4.8A

The Blue Sea Systems 1045 is a dual USB charger socket mount built for boats and other 12 volt or 24 volt DC electrical systems. It uses intelligent device recognition to charge at the speed required by the specific phone, tablet, or other mobile device plugged in, regardless of brand, delivering up to 4.8 amps DC of total output across its two USB ports at 5 volts DC (+/- 5%). The unit accepts a wide 9 to 32 volt DC input, making it suitable for both 12V and 24V marine and mobile electrical systems.

Internal filtering reduces electronic interference, which helps keep nearby electronics and communication equipment from picking up charging noise. The circuit board is conformal coated to withstand the humidity, salt air, and vibration common in the marine environment, and the unit includes over temperature protection, thermal overload protection, short circuit protection, and reverse polarity protection to guard both the charger and connected devices. A protective dust cap shields the ports from debris and moisture when not in use. Parasitic current draw is just 1 milliamp when the charger is idle and not actively charging a device, minimizing battery drain.

The 1045 mounts in a common 1-1/8 inch diameter round hole, making it a straightforward retrofit or new-install option for helm stations, cabins, and dash panels.

Frequently Asked Questions

What voltage systems does the Blue Sea Systems 1045 work with? The 1045 accepts a 9 to 32 volt DC input, so it works on both 12 volt and 24 volt marine and mobile electrical systems.

How many devices can I charge at once? Two, since the Blue Sea Systems 1045 has dual USB ports sharing a combined maximum output of 4.8 amps DC.

Will it charge my device at full speed regardless of brand? Yes. The 1045 uses intelligent device recognition to charge at the speed required by the specific phone, tablet, or other mobile device plugged in, no matter the brand.

What size hole do I need to mount the 1045? A common 1-1/8 inch diameter round hole is required to mount the Blue Sea Systems 1045.

Is the 1045 suitable for a boat's helm or cabin panel? Yes, its conformal coated circuit board and protective dust cap are built for the harsh marine environment, making it well suited to helm stations, cabins, and dash panels.

Does the charger drain the battery when not in use? Very little. The Blue Sea Systems 1045 draws only 1 milliamp of parasitic current when idle and not actively charging a device.

What protections does the 1045 include? It includes over temperature protection, thermal overload protection, short circuit protection, and reverse polarity protection.

What is the output voltage of the USB ports? Each port outputs 5 volts DC, plus or minus 5 percent, on the Blue Sea Systems 1045.

Does it come with a cover to keep out water and dust? Yes, the 1045 includes a protective dust cap that keeps debris and moisture out of the ports when they are not in use.

How much does the 1045 weigh? The Blue Sea Systems 1045 weighs 0.15 pounds.

What is the difference between the Blue Sea Systems 1045 and the 1039? Both share the same charging electronics, but they mount differently: the 1045 fits a common 1-1/8 inch round hole, while the 1039 is a separate part number designed to mount in an existing Contura switch aperture.
