Marinco 12VBP ConnectPro 3-Wire 12 Volt Plug, Black, 40 Amp
The Marinco 12VBP is a 12-volt, 3-wire electrical plug from the ConnectPro line, built for reliable low-voltage power connections aboard a boat. It is the male plug half of the connector pairing, finished in black with brass contacts for solid conductivity and resistance to the corrosion that marine environments cause in lesser materials. The plug is rated for 40 amps at 12 volts DC, making it suitable for higher-draw 12-volt circuits where a secure, positive connection matters. It uses a Type A - 2 pin (North American) plug configuration and a plug-in connector style, so it mates directly with a compatible ConnectPro-style receptacle to complete the circuit. The 3-wire design carries power and ground conductors through a single compact connector, simplifying wiring runs where equipment needs to be connected and disconnected without hardwiring. At 0.2 pounds, the 12VBP is a lightweight component that installs into an existing 12-volt wiring setup. Marinco backs the 12VBP with a limited warranty. This plug is intended for buyers who need a dependable, marine-grade 12-volt connector for accessories, electronics, or equipment that requires a removable power connection rather than a permanent hardwired one.
