Sea-Dog Polarized Molded Electrical Connector, 2-Pin, 3 Amp, 12/24V, Part 426162-1

The Sea-Dog Polarized Molded Electrical Connector (Part No. 426162-1) is a 2-pin plug built for reliable, mistake-proof electrical connections aboard boats and trailers. The body is molded from Bakelite and neoprene, materials chosen for their resistance to moisture and rough marine environments, while the internal pins are machined brass for durable, low-resistance conductivity. The connector is polarized, meaning the two pins are sized differently so the plug can only be joined one way -- this eliminates the risk of reverse polarity when reconnecting wiring, a common source of electrical faults on boats.

This connector is rated for 3 amps at 12/24VDC, suitable for lighting circuits, accessory wiring, and other low-draw 12V or 24V marine electrical runs. It accepts wire up to 14 gauge, with each conductor secured by a brass set screw for a solid mechanical and electrical connection that can be serviced without soldering. At just 0.06 pounds, it is a compact, lightweight addition to any DC wiring harness or repair kit.
