Description
xPower Inlet Polyamide with Cover 16A/250Vac (2P/3W)
A shore power inlet designed for marine, caravan and off-grid installations where a weatherproof, panel-mounted AC connection point is required. Rated at 16A/250Vac in a 2-pole/3-wire configuration, this polyamide inlet accepts a shore power cable and provides a protected entry point for mains AC supply into a vessel, vehicle or static installation.
Key Features
- Rated at 16A and 250Vac, suitable for standard single-phase shore power connections.
- 2-pole/3-wire (2P/3W) configuration covering live, neutral and earth conductors.
- Polyamide (nylon) construction offers good resistance to UV exposure, moisture and mechanical impact.
- Protective cover included to seal the inlet when no cable is connected, reducing ingress of water and debris.
- Panel-mount design for flush or surface installation into bulkheads, enclosures or vehicle bodywork.
- Lightweight at 0.23 kg, keeping overall installation weight low.
- Compatible with standard 16A shore power plugs and cables used across marine and leisure vehicle applications.
Product Overview
This inlet provides the fixed connection point on the vessel or vehicle side of a shore power hookup. When a shore cable is plugged in, AC mains power is fed through the inlet to the onboard distribution system, typically via a shore power isolator, RCD or inverter/charger such as a Victron MultiPlus or Quattro. The polyamide body is well suited to damp and outdoor environments where a metal fitting is not required or preferred.
The 2P/3W wiring arrangement means the inlet carries a single live conductor, a neutral and a protective earth. This is the standard configuration for single-phase 16A shore connections in leisure marine and caravan use across the UK and EU. The hinged protective cover keeps the socket face clean and dry when the shore cable is disconnected, which matters in exposed deck or exterior panel locations.

Installation Notes
This inlet carries mains AC voltage and must be installed by a qualified electrician or competent marine/vehicle electrical engineer. On leisure craft, wiring should comply with the relevant BS EN ISO marine electrical standards. On caravans and motorhomes, installation should follow BS 7671 (IET Wiring Regulations) and any applicable leisure vehicle standards. Ensure the inlet is correctly earthed as part of the 2P/3W circuit. The protective cover should always be closed when the shore cable is not connected.
