BLUE SEA SYSTEMS 12 Volt Black Cigarette Lighter Style Dash Socket with Watertight Cap – 1011
The BLUE SEA SYSTEMS 1011 12 Volt Dash Socket is a rugged black cigarette lighter style power outlet built for boats, RVs, work vehicles, and other demanding 12V DC applications. Designed to handle wet environments and constant vibration, this socket provides a dependable power point for 12 volt accessories while offering a cleaner, more secure connection than a standard automotive-style outlet.
Marine-Grade 12V Accessory Power
This dash socket is ideal for powering portable electronics, spotlights, chargers, pumps, handheld radios, and other 12V accessories. The watertight cap helps protect the socket from moisture, spray, and debris when not in use, making it a strong choice for helm stations, dashboards, consoles, and exposed panel locations.
Key Features
- 12 volt cigarette lighter style dash socket for marine, RV, vehicle, and equipment applications
- Black socket body and watertight cap for a clean, low-profile installation
- Watertight cap helps protect the socket from moisture, spray, dirt, and debris when not in use
- Twist-lock design allows compatible Blue Sea Systems plugs to lock securely into the socket
- Large contact surfaces help provide a strong and reliable electrical connection
- Nickel-plated copper alloy current-carrying components resist corrosion
- Designed to withstand wet environments and constant vibration
- Internal strain relief and cord seal help protect the connection
- Can be installed using front panel, rear panel, or surface mount configurations
Secure Twist-Lock Compatibility
When paired with a compatible Blue Sea Systems 12 volt plug, the 1011 socket uses a twist-lock system to help keep the plug securely seated. This is especially useful in marine and mobile installations where vibration, waves, movement, or accidental cord pull can loosen ordinary cigarette lighter style plugs.
Built for Boats and Harsh Environments
Standard automotive sockets are not always ideal for marine use. The Blue Sea Systems 1011 is designed with corrosion-resistant current-carrying components, a protective watertight cap, and a rugged construction that is better suited to damp, exposed, and vibration-prone locations.
