How many Amps Is this Socket Rated For?
1083693
The wiring is unusually high gauge. I wouldn't run it above 15A which is more than enough for almost ALL 12V plug in items.

The socket does not specifically specify, but with only 16AWG wire, it should be no more than 10 amps.

I do not know where to look for the amp number, did you look at the spec info on the products page?

From their site :" 2.6A output allows you to charge more devices faster & at full rate. "It doesn't specify a per socket or total amperage but I would lean towards the total.

no I dont believe it will handle the current it is rated for 15?amp max at most

I don't remember what the socket is rated for, and I cannot check it for a couple of weeks. You should NEVER use a higher-wattage bulb than the socket is rated for. Using too high a watt bulb can lead to over-heating of the fixture , which could result in a fire. So check what the fixture is rated for. It should say somewhere on the fixture or in the accompanying literature. If you have not yet bought the fixture, I will check mine when I am back in a couple of weeks and let you know what I find. You might let Amazon know that a critical piece of information is missing from the product description. I will!

I have the 20 amp sockets installed in my garage - the ones with one horizontal and one dual hor/vert slot plus the common. The plug has one horiz and one vert pin, plus the common... hope this helps. i wouldn't run this heater on less than a 20amp circuit...

There's no amp rating on the device. I have it on a 20 amp circuit and it appears to be working well.

After checking several sources - using Google - it does not appear that Side Socket has a UL rating...check for yourself and good luck! Not using the one I purchased - it did not fit well in the location where I needed it...

The spec. on the socket is 25v max and 5 amp max. The bulb you have is ok on the voltage but the amps is 6.25 which is to high for this socket.

I don't know what the actual amperage rating is but I run two of them in my camper on one 15amp circuit and have not had any blown fuse issues. I have been extremely happy with this product

According to the literature, it is rated at 5.4 amps. http://www.imarketcity.com/dada6btucowi.html

This socket is rated for 12vdc,@15 amp only !!! This is not rated for a cigarette lighter, only for cell phone charging ,or radar dectector use . Also, the housing and bracket are made of plastic, so it needs to be connected to a ground with the black wire. I connected both red and black wires directly to battery terminals, for a great connection!!! Anyway, the housing won't rust and it does come with dust caps covering the sockets for outside use.

I am not sure if it is. I would probably reach out to the manufacturer of the item and see. I use the typically 110volt wall socket for it.

This socket is rated at 150 watt maximum so I think your good to go, however don't use a shade just the bulb that way heat will disapate.

I'm no electrician, but as a rule of thumb, I pick a gauge that will meet our exceed the amperage rating of the outlet. Typical household wall sockets are designed to safely provide 15amps.Check out the link for a list of gauges and amshttp://www.powerstream.com/Wire_Size.htm

I'm sorry. But I have not installed on yet I don't know what's the amp rating is.

I don't know what you mean by power rating. It uses a standard 110 AC outlet.
