About Extension Cords

Vehicle DC Connectors

Power ancillary devices, such as chargers for electronics, from a vehicle. When used together, the plug and socket create a moisture-resistant seal. Used separately, they are compatible with devices that have standard 12-volt plugs and sockets. All have a moisture-proof, corrosion-resistant housing.

Socket has a watertight cap for protection when not in use.

Turn-Lock Vehicle DC Connectors

Lock connectors into place for a secure connection in high-vibration environments. The turn-lock design prevents attachment to AC connectors. They power ancillary devices, such as chargers for electronics, from a vehicle. All have corrosion-resistant electrical components.

Plugs have an O-ring that seals out moisture when connected to a socket.

Socket has a watertight cap for protection when not in use.
