On an RV, 50 amps is enough power to run a microwave or A\/C unit. It’s also more than enough power to melt the housing of a traditional twist-type marine shore power connector and inlet. The revolutionary SmartPlug cordset overcomes the inadequacies of this old technology to deliver a safer, simpler, and more secure 50A 125\/250V electric supply.<\/p>
Unlike twist-type connectors with their thin corrosion-prone blades, the SmartPlug uses a robust pin and clip design that provides over 27 times the metal-to-metal contact. This lessens electrical resistance and reduces the potential for arcing and overheating. It is the safest shore power cordset on the market today.<\/p>
Anyone who has fumbled with orienting the L blade and trying to thread the collar of a twist-type connector in poor conditions knows what a headache it can be. The SmartPlug connector pushes straight in and fastens securely with a rugged four-point locking system. It’s also asymmetrical, so there are no alignment issues\u2014plugging into shore power can be accomplished with one hand.<\/p>
The SmartPlug connector is built with a durable heat- and impact-resistant polymer. New for 2021 is a reverse polarity indicator light that is now standard on all cordsets. Integrated into the RV-side female end are two LED lights. When the blue light is on, power is flowing correctly. If there is an unsafe condition, the red lamp will glow.<\/p>
SmartPlug cords use Superflex cable. This provides flexibility and durability, and makes them easy to coil even in freezing weather.<\/p>
SmartPlug 50A cordsets are 30′ in length. Prices start at $498. Versions in 16A, 30A, and 32A configurations are also available.<\/p>
If the vehicle is not already equipped with a SmartPlug inlet, users can purchase an upgrade kit with an inlet and connector. The inlet is available in stainless steel, black, white, or gray to match any d\u00e9cor. Superior IP56-rated gaskets ensure a watertight seal.<\/p>
