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 - Compact power supply

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.

For smaller boats: The 16A design is perfectly dimensioned for smaller sailboats, motorboats and sports boats that do not operate large consumers such as air conditioners.

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

PES plastic - high-performance plastic for marine applications

What is PES? PES (polyethersulfone) is a high-performance plastic with excellent mechanical and thermal properties. It is particularly suitable for demanding marine applications.

Temperature resistant: PES is extremely temperature resistant and retains its properties even at high temperatures. Ideal for shore power sockets that can get warm under load.

Mechanically strong: PES offers high mechanical strength and impact resistance. The housing is robust and withstands mechanical stress.

Chemical resistant: PES is resistant to many chemicals, oils, and fuels. The material also remains stable in marine environments with saltwater and cleaning agents.

UV-resistant: The white version is UV-stabilized and will not yellow even after years of intense sunlight.

With lid - Reliable protection

Protective cover included: The socket comes with a matching cover. When not in use, the cover protects the contacts from dirt, moisture, and weather conditions.

Easy to use: The lid opens and closes easily. When you need shore power, open the lid and plug in the cable. After unplugging, close the lid again.

Durability: The protective cover significantly extends the lifespan of the socket. The contacts remain clean and corrosion-free.

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.

White version - Matches light-colored boat superstructures

Classic white: White is the classic color for boat superstructures. It blends harmoniously with light-colored GRP superstructures, white paintwork, and modern boat designs.

Timelessly elegant: White is timeless and suits every boat style - from classic sailboats to modern motor yachts.

UV-stabilized: The white PES material is UV-stabilized and will not yellow. Even after years of intense sunlight, the socket retains its fresh, white appearance.

Easy to clean: The smooth white surface is easy to clean. Occasional wiping with a damp cloth is sufficient.

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 plastic version can be installed in a wide variety of materials - in GRP structures, wooden cladding or plastic panels.

Professional appearance: The flush-mounted version allows for seamless integration into your boat's superstructure. From the outside, only the elegant white 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.
