What is the mounting depth of this socket, please? Can standard, non-twist locking DC accessory plugs fit this socket? Tks. :-)

From the mounting face of the panel it goes back pretty close to 1 7/8". But there are 2 flat terminals sticking back approx. another 3/8". I had limited clearance where I put mine so I had to find 90 degree flag terminals to hook it up. This was a real challenge for me because none of the usual places have 90 degree. Regular non-twist plugs work fine except Some plugs may not make e real "secure" connection. I have a Radio Shack solar trickle charger that would break connection at the slightest bump of the plug. I had to replace it with the plug that is the companion to this socket. But I have a DVD player that doesn't do this at all. 'Just depends on the plug, I guess.

I use my iPhone charger (the same one I use in my car) on this socket, if that helps.

Yes, standard DC accessory plugs will fit and hold. We use it for phone chargers. I believe it was about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2" deep.

the cable plug will not fit the socket. it is for powerconnect dock only, the plug size is about 3/16".

The socket is a standard "cigarette lighter" socket, now called something like a "power port" on modern vehicles. The approximate dimensions are: a little over an inch in diameter, and about two inches long. The mounting foot is not included in these dimensions. I think it's about an inch and a half long, and separates the socket from the mounting surface by about three fourths of an inch.

An exact length cannot be given due to the big diff. in config. I can estimate that it can be "0" to 1/2" longer than a conventional socket.

I used a socket, put my screw driver(with rubber handle so it gripped inside the socket) with an extension to be able to reach it....... Think it's a flaw in the design but a little ingenuity and you'll get it :) Duck tape and a broom handle anyone?

The plugs on most items today have one side that is a bit larger; that larger side fits in the larger side of the socket. Just flip it over.

Hi, you can order a mounting kit on ebay that will allow you to use this on the AM3+ socket but it dose not come with it in the box. It was around $10.00 when I ordered some a few weeks ago.

I would go on a charger forum and see what people have used in past. I know they are offset muffers like this one but not sure of dimensions or diameters.

I called their number looking up on internet and they were very friendly. They would tell you quickly. They did inform me it will not function with less than seven amps from your dc. I found a loose wire attachment in fuse area and the new one I updated(they suggest replacing every five years). Once I fixed they intermittent three amp reading by tightening even the old one worked again, but safety trumps cost.

Update: Google "6VDC power adapter 250mA" and quite a few products come to the top. I found a couple on eBay and ioffer. Communicate with the seller to confirm plug size and specs. I believe your unit requires + center. The plug dimensions are usually center hole diameter and outside diameter (OD) and it's typically specified in millimeters. Good luck! :-)

Ok, really late on this sorry. I took pictures but could not upload them. So, not a lot of room on either side of this thing. You can barely squeeze in a regular plug next to it but it's possible. Anything other then a regular sized plug, nope. For me this has come in handy and even though it's a bit wide, it works great.

Just hard enough to keep the socket on there. It works perfectly with my 1/2" Craftsman impact sockets. I highly recommend it.

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/2w8fcw4tha490cg/sQzMWRUUSv --here is a link to the parts. Which side of the plug faces the top (the one with the contacts or the other one) ? Does this look like others'? I am stumped and three other reasonably intelligent adults are too.

It has plenty of room and i am sure flat plug will fit into that. But there might be twist in wire in L shape as per my imagination. another option is, use adapter to decrease the depth of the plug section.

It is the 50 amp model and yes you do twist to lock before tightening the ring, but then I really never tried to tighten the ring without locking the plug in place and I dont know if the electrical circuit would be complete without locking the plug.

Hi! I know that the video published with the intent to market this item is interesting and promotes this interesting idea that this plug can attached to a mounting plate in order to get rid of electrical cords, but I just could not accomplish this because my desktop table is made of solid plastic. I did not by item for the mounting plate, I bought it because I could plug the iPod Touch for instance and also because my big tension bar was gathering dust. Additionally, it simply seems to me too that I did not receive screws with the mounting plate, which is not a surprise at companies do try to save money, but as I am not sure at all of this fact I prefer saying to you that I do ignore the presence of screws in the packaging at first. In the case you took the time to take a look at the wholes in the mounting plate, they are about 2 millimeters large, then you have to find screws that fit in a whole measuring 2 millimeters. It is that simple. 2 short screws able to fit in this size. I have that size at home and it should do the thing I am sure. Good luck with your assemblage of the whole thing, and have a good day!
