SmartPlug RV Power Delivery Systems

Founded in 2007 and headquartered in Seattle, Washington, SmartPlug is a developer and manufacturer of an innovative shore power connection meant to supplant the twist-type design. The company's experts have revealed some common problems with twisting connectors, including weak metal-to-metal contact because of the curved shape of pins, a relatively large gap between the connector's body and inlet, insufficient protection from moisture, some difficulties with plugging caused by the L-shaped pin, and some others. Gradually, these issues may result in loosened contacts, corrosion, overheating, and failure, or even a fire.

After a careful analysis, the company developed a more reliable, safer solution carrying the same name – SmartPlug. To prevent loosening, the new connection features a multi-point locking system and sleeve design, which allows for reducing the physical stress on the pins and securing the plug in a more dependable way. New pins are straight, and their contact area has notably increased to avoid overheating. Triple weatherproof seals make sure the connection is protected from moisture. Simply push the plug straight in, and it will automatically lock into the inlet. Besides easy-to-install inlets, the company offers extension cords, adapters, connectors, and various accessories.
