SMARTPLUG - SmartPlug's 4-step solution protects against overheating every step of the way. Loose connections are handled by a sleeve design and a multi-point locking system that removes all physical strain from the pins while securely fastening the plug into the inlet. The pin contact area increases by more than 20x and is protected behind three weather-resistant seals for a dry and corrosion-free connection.
Contrary to popular belief, the cause of shore power outages and fires is not electrical short circuits but rather overheating caused by poor electrical conductivity. How does this happen? The problems with many plug designs are that the shape of electrical pins allows for very little contact surface, and the pins themselves are also largely responsible for bearing all physical strain on the cord (from constant movement of the boat, someone tripping on the cord, etc. ...) This results in the pins working loose, which reduces the precious small contact area they had to begin with. Furthermore, such loose connections allow moisture ingress and ultimately corrosion of the pins. Arcing occurs and the connection heats up, burns, and in some cases catches fire. Since the current draw is unchanged, all this happens long before a breaker or a GFCI can interrupt the current. In addition, the old design can be very difficult to use in low-light or hard-to-reach scenarios because the "L"-shaped pin must first be positioned and then oriented before connection.
