Wall Plate Lighter Receptacle

This receptacle comes with a chrome plated cover that fits a standard single gang outlet box. This heavy duty outlet is made of brass and steel so it can handle up to 20 amps.

The positive connection is a 10-32 threaded stud with nuts.

The negative connection is a short piece of 18 gauge wire. If you plan to use more than 10 amps, replace negative wire with 12 AWG.

The negative connection of the outlet is connected to the steel cover, so it is a good idea to use a steel junction box with the negative wire connected to the box as well as the negative lead on the outlet.

055-01038 Wall Plate Receptacle $5.

Wall Outlets and Plugs for 12 and 24VDC  

In our search for an economical, NEC approved outlet to use for low voltage systems, we have decided upon something that is readily available, a 240 volt, 15 amp receptacle.

Our choice of this configuration is based on the assumption that PV-powered remote homes will not normally have appliances that use 240 volts at 15 amps. If you have a large power tool it will usually have a 240 volt 20 amp plug on it.

The receptacles are duplex (two outlets) and they fit standard wiring boxes and standard duplex receptacle covers.

Accessories for Folding Modules


P3 and SUNLINQ folding modules have output power cables with SAE 2-conductor trailer plugs. This 5 piece accessory cable set contains adaptors for male and female cigarette lighter (CLA) plugs, battery clips, an 8 foot extension cable and 2.5 mm coaxial barrel plug.

These can be used to facilitate auto battery charging, using modules to power CLA adapters for cell phones, iPods, radios and CD players. SUNLINQ™ modules have a regulated output and can be directly connected to CLA from portable devices designed to plug into auto cigarette lighter outlets.

P3 modules are unregulated and require a charge controller to safely operate these devices without a battery. The charge control below may be used between the P3 modules and power supplies designed to run on 12 volt battery power, even if a battery is not connected.

The 2.5 mm barrel plug allows these modules to plug into Xantrex Powerpacks for charging.

Rechargeable Batteries & Chargers

Nickel Metal Hydride Batteries

NiMH batteries have up to twice the power of Nickel-Cadmium rechargeable batteries, can be recharged or topped off anytime, and don’t have the memory effect. Their only drawback is all NiMH self discharge about half their energy in two months without use. They are best used in devices that use up batteries quickly, like digital cameras, portable entertainment devices and flashlights in constant use.

They can be recharged about 500 times and last for years. Unlike Nickel-Cadmium batteries,

Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries do not contain toxic substances.
