Sea-Dog Polarized Molded Electrical Connector, 3-Pin, 4 Amp, 12/24V DC

The Sea-Dog Polarized Molded Electrical Connector is a 3-pin plug and receptacle connector built for reliable low-voltage marine wiring. The body is molded from Bakelite and neoprene, with machined brass pins that are sized differently from one another so the connector can only be joined one way. This polarized design eliminates the risk of reverse polarity when reconnecting the plug, which protects connected electronics and accessories from miswiring damage.

Rated for 4 amps at 12/24 VDC, this connector accepts up to 14 gauge wire and terminates with brass set screws, allowing for a secure mechanical connection without soldering. It is intended for onboard low-current circuits where a quick-disconnect, polarized electrical junction is needed. The compact profile keeps installation simple in tight electrical panels or wiring runs.
