NEMA L5 Standard - US Standard

What is NEMA L5? NEMA (National Electrical Manufacturers Association) is a standard for electrical connectors developed in the USA. The L5 standard defines the specifications for 230V shore power connections and is particularly common in North America.

International Use: NEMA L5 outlets are compatible with all standard NEMA L5 shore power cables. Ideal if you are traveling in the USA, Canada, or the Caribbean.

Safe standard: The NEMA L5 standard defines not only mechanical compatibility, but also safety requirements such as contact distances, insulation and load capacity.

230V / 16A - For smaller boats

230 Volt Voltage: The socket supplies 230V AC voltage – the European standard for shore power. Perfect for all onboard devices that require 230V.

16 Amp Current: With a 16A current rating, this socket is ideal for smaller boats with moderate power requirements. This corresponds to a power output of up to 3.7 kW – sufficient for a battery charger, refrigerator, lighting, and other standard onboard appliances.

Compact and cost-effective: The 16A version is more compact and cost-effective than the 32A version - ideal if you do not require high currents.

IP56 protection class - Maximum protection

What does IP56 mean? The IP56 protection rating guarantees complete protection against dust (number 5) and protection against powerful water jets from all directions (number 6). Ideal for marine use.

Dustproof: The socket is completely protected against the ingress of dust. Its functionality is maintained even in dusty ports or during sandstorms.

Water jet resistant: Strong water jets from any direction cannot harm the socket. Even in rain, spray, or when cleaning the deck, everything remains dry and safe.

Screw cap: The stainless steel screw cap offers additional protection when not in use. Simply screw it on, and the socket is optimally protected against the elements.

Stainless steel A4 - Maximum corrosion resistance

High-quality A4 stainless steel: The bezel and screw cap are made of A4 stainless steel (also known as V4A or 1.4401/1.4404). This is the highest quality marine-grade stainless steel with maximum corrosion resistance.

Saltwater resistant: A4 stainless steel is specifically designed for use in saltwater environments. It resists corrosion from saltwater, salt spray, and aggressive marine atmospheres.

Durable: Even after years of intensive use in a marine environment, A4 stainless steel retains its properties. No rusting, no fading, no corrosion.

Professional look: The polished stainless steel surface offers a sophisticated, professional appearance and blends harmoniously into high-quality boat superstructures.

Compact design - space-saving

Ideal for smaller boats: The compact 16A version is smaller than the 32A version and requires less installation space. Perfect for smaller boats with limited space.

Space-saving installation: The compact design saves space behind the installation point. Ideal when space is limited.

Lightweight: The smaller version is also lighter - an advantage for weight-sensitive boats.

Built-in version - Professional integration

Installation in boat superstructures: The socket is installed in your boat superstructure. Cut a suitable opening, insert the socket and screw it in from the back.

Flexible installation situations: The stainless steel version can be installed in a wide variety of materials - in GRP structures, wooden cladding or stainless steel panels.

Professional appearance: The recessed version allows for seamless integration into your boat's superstructure. From the outside, only the elegant stainless steel cover is visible.

Shore power connection - Reliable power supply at the berth

What is a shore power connection? A shore power connection allows you to supply your boat with electricity from its berth. You connect a cable from the harbor socket to your onboard socket and have 230V shore power available.

Advantages of shore power: With shore power, you can operate onboard appliances without draining the battery or running the generator. Battery charger, refrigerator, lighting – everything runs on shore power.

Battery protection: You can charge your batteries and operate appliances simultaneously via the shore power connection. This protects the batteries and ensures they are always fully charged.

Quieter berth: With shore power, you don't need to run a generator. This is quieter, more environmentally friendly, and more pleasant for you and your neighbors in the harbor.

Easy installation - Professional installation

Installation in boat superstructures: The socket is installed in your boat superstructure. Cut a suitable opening, insert the socket and screw it in from the back.

Electrical connection: Connect the socket to your onboard electrical system. Ensure correct wiring (live, neutral, ground) and adequate protection (16A fuse).

Professional installation recommended: You should hire a qualified professional for the installation. Electrical installations on boats are subject to special safety requirements.
