The SmartPlug is the first replacement to the problematic standard (known as the L5-30) of shorepower to come along in 70 years. Especially in marine environments, the L5-30 is notorious for overheating and melting. The SmartPlug\u2019s \u201csleeve-in\u201d design and double-locking system eliminate the movement and tension on the electrical pins that cause them to work loose, corrode and increase the potential for failure. Additionally, the three SmartPlug weatherproof seals ensure that no moisture infiltrates the internal electrical components, thereby rendering corrosion a non-issue.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Yes. Our retrofit plug and inlet passed the \u201cdreaded\u201d 30-day salt fog test at the IMANNA testing facilities in Florida without a hint of moisture on the internals being found.
