Optimate O-46 12V Socket – Heavy-Duty External Power/Charging Port for Automotive, Industrial, Trailers and Powersport Vehicles.

OptiMate O-46 Heavy Duty Weatherproof AUTO 12V Socket Panel Mount Cable with Adaptable M6-M8 Ringlets for Trucks, RVs, Trailers, and Boats

The OptiMate O-46 is a heavy-duty, panel-mounted 12V AUTO cigarette-style socket designed to create a rugged, permanent power access point on your vehicle or equipment. Engineered to bolt directly onto your battery terminals, it allows you to route power through any flat chassis panel, dashboard, or utility box. Once installed, it establishes a reliable connection hub for running 12V vehicle accessories—such as portable refrigerators, GPS units, and air compressors—or for connecting compatible chargers from the outside of the vehicle.

Features and Benefits

• Flush-mount chassis integration — The 21 mm inner diameter socket (requires a standard Ø22 mm drill hole) mounts securely through body panels, creating a clean, factory-style finish that keeps wiring hidden and protected.

• Adaptable dual-ring battery lead — Features heavy-duty, molded ring terminals that bolt cleanly onto 1/4" (M6) to 5/16" (M8) battery posts or power distribution blocks.

• Generous routing length — The 150 cm (60″) cable provides ample length to route from deep inside a battery compartment or engine bay to a convenient exterior or cabin panel.

• High-capacity power delivery — Engineered to safely support a continuous 10A current rating and up to a 13A maximum threshold, easily handling heavier electrical demands.

• Robust 16 AWG wiring — Built with thick, premium copper strands and heavy-duty SPT-2W insulation to minimize voltage drop and offer maximum abrasion and wear resistance.

• Inline safety protection — Equipped with an integrated 15A fuse to completely safeguard your vehicle’s factory wiring harness and accessories from dangerous short circuits.

• Vibration-resistant secure fit — The socket interior features built-in internal gripping fingers that lock onto the ring of an inserted 12V plug, preventing your accessories from vibrating loose during rough off-road or marine use.

• Weatherproof sealing cap — Includes a robust, attached rubber sealing cap that entirely seals the opening against water, mud, dust, and road salt when the socket is not in use.

• Rated for –40 °C/°F — Constructed from premium, weatherproofing materials that remain completely pliable, flexible, and crack-resistant even in extreme sub-zero freezing winter environments.
