What is a 12v dc plug? 

Independent power is a luxury that many of us like to enjoy when away from mains power. This power is usually generated from the use of a battery set up. But how do we harness the power from the 12v battery to provide an easy outlet for us to connect our accessories such as our fridge, lighting, usb adapters and more? 

It's simple really, we look to install 12 volt accessory sockets. These plug / sockets will connect to a power feed back to the battery and will allow you the option to run those much loved devices! 

But what if our current socket does not fit our appliance we are using? 

No problem! Simply use a 12 volt power adapter

How to wire a 12 volt accessory plug? 

Wiring a 12 volt accessory plug / socket is simple; it is as easy as connecting a positive and negative cable from the battery to the back of the socket. Similar to any power wire connected from a battery source, it is important to fuse the 12v dc socket in order to protect it against overload and dead-shorting. Home of 12 Volt Online offer a large range of fuse options to suit every 12v dc power application.

There are so many designs, how I do know what to choose? 

When choosing an accessory connection, it is important to know what you are drawing from the battery. Every individual socket will have a differing amperage rating (how much power the dc socket can handle) in order to run appliances. 

The most common dc socket on the market today is still the Cigarette socket. This socket is common among 12 v fridges, 12 Volt lighting, 12 Volt TV's and other lower draw appliances. 

On the other hand, the higher draw appliances are better suited to an Anderson connector. The most common Anderson connector used in vehicle / camping installations are 50 Amp Anderson connectors. These are common connections for fridges, Inverters, air compressors and other heavier draw appliances.
