SmartPlug

<h3>SmartPlug: Redefining Shore Power Safety for Boats and RVs</h3><p>Founded in 2007 and headquartered in Seattle, Washington, SmartPlug set out to solve one of the most overlooked hazards in boating and RV life: the inherently flawed twist-lock shore power connector. Traditional NEMA twist-lock designs rely on a small contact surface area and a fragile locking ring — a combination that invites loose connections, accelerated corrosion, and dangerous overheating at the dock. SmartPlug was engineered from the ground up to eliminate these failure points entirely.</p><p> Unlike traditional twist-lock connectors, SmartPlug systems use a straight-in design that delivers a more secure electrical connection, reduced overheating, and improved performance at the dock. The plug inserts directly and symmetrically into the inlet, completely eliminating the awkward twisting motion and delicate locking rings required by traditional shore power configurations — allowing easy, blind alignment and trouble-free connection or disconnection in low light, restricted spaces, or rolling vessel conditions. </p><h3>Built with Marine-Grade Quality</h3><p>SmartPlug doesn't just improve the connection geometry — it raises the bar on materials as well. All external metals are Marine-Grade 316 Stainless Steel, the electrical pins are nickel-plated brass for maximum conductivity, and plastics are UV and heat resistant Valox 553U resins made right here in the USA. Built with these marine-grade materials, SmartPlug inlets, cords, and connectors are ideal for both freshwater and saltwater environments. </p><p> SmartPlug shore power products feature solid pin contact, multi-point locking, and integrated thermal protection, making them a trusted upgrade for boaters who demand safety and reliability. The number one cause of shore power failure and fires is not electrical shorting, but rather overheating caused by poor electrical conductivity — and SmartPlug's expanded contact surface area and robust mechanical lock directly address both root causes.</p><h3>A Full Ecosystem of Shore Power Solutions</h3><p> SmartPlug carries inlets, connectors, combo kits, shore power cords, data ports, accessories, ELCI sensors and breakers, and service kits. Whether you are outfitting a new vessel, upgrading an aging marina pedestal, or replacing a worn cordset on your RV, there is a SmartPlug solution designed to fit your application.</p><p>At the heart of the lineup are the <a href="/11569-smartplug-shorepower-accessories-200944">Shorepower Accessories</a> that cover everything from inlets and connectors to combo kits, service kits, and data port faceplates — giving boat and RV owners a complete, cohesive system rather than a patchwork of incompatible components. For situations that require bridging between different plug standards or amperage configurations, SmartPlug's <a href="/200657-shore-power-adaptors-smartplug-11569">Shore Power Adaptors</a> — including pigtails and dogbones — make it straightforward to connect in virtually any marina or campground environment without sacrificing safety or conductivity.</p><p> Whether you're docking your boat or setting up your RV, SmartPlug makes power connections straightforward and stress-free. For anyone serious about electrical safety on the water or at the campsite, SmartPlug represents the modern standard in shore power connectivity.</p>

SmartPlug C30253

Upgrade the boat end of your shore power, while keeping the standard connection at the dockside end.

It's time for a change. These Dual Configuration Cordsets let you retrofit the boat end of your shore power system with a modern, safe and convenient SmartPlug connector and compatible SmartPlug shore power inlet (sold separately). They include a SmartPlug 30A boatside connector at one end and a standard NEMA twist-type dockside plug at the other end, so you can enjoy all the safety and security of the SmartPlug system in any marina equipped with "Old School" NEMA dockside power pedestals. 

What's in the Kit

  • SmartPlug Dual Configuration Cordset
  • Zip Storage Bag

Why the SmartPlug

Shore power delivery systems have remained virtually unchanged since they were introduced in 1938. Contrary to popular belief, the number-one cause of shore power failure and fires is not electrical shorting, but rather overheating caused by poor electrical conductivity.

These problems are built into the aging designs of common shore power technology. SmartPlug offers a better way.

The Problem with "Old School" NEMA Connectors

  • Curved pins: Electrical pins' curved shape causes minimum metal-to-metal contact, causing resistance and overheating
  • Connector body shape: The gap between the body and the inlet allows the connector to move, putting tension on the pins and clips
  • Ease of use: Difficult to find the "L"-shaped pin to twist and engage the plug, especially at night
  • Locking: No locking feature or plastic locking ring that is prone to stripping or cracking

The SmartPlug Solution

  • 30-Amp overheat protection: Oversize power pins and clips ensure efficient transfer of power even with high amperage loads
  • Electrical pins: Straight pins, not curved, with 20-times more electrical surface area; No twisting required
  • Better metal: Tinned copper wire throughout the full length of the cord set provides superior conductivity and resistance to corrosion; All external metals are 316 stainless steel; electrical pins are nickel-plated brass for maximum connectivity
  • Connector body shape: Sleeve design fits snugly within the inlet, removing all pressure and tension from pins and clips
  • Weatherproof seal: TPE Dyna-flex cord seal ensures weatherproof seal to power cord
  • Locking: Inlet cover snaps onto the sides of the inlet and the top of the connector
  • Ease of use: Unique plug body shape only goes in one way, the right way; Plug pushes straight in and locks automatically with spring-loaded side clips
  • Industry-standard hole pattern: Mounts using the same hole pattern as industry-standard layout used by Hubbel, Marinco etc.
  • Indicator Light: Cool blue LED Power indicator light on the top of the connector glows when power is on
  • Flexible: Super flexible cord that can be tightly coiled even in cold weather
