Marine electrical connectors may have unequal pins to prevent reversed mating, but that alone does not make every Sea-Dog connector compatible. These four part numbers include two- and four-conductor deck fittings, a four-pin molded plug and a two-wire SAE connector. Match the original pin count, style and current rating before replacing it.

Identify the plug, deck outlet or SAE connector

The table lists exact Sea-Dog part numbers and manufacturer specifications. On narrow screens, scroll the table sideways to see every column.

MPN Device / connection Conductors Rating Wire termination
426142-1 Complete polarized deck outlet 2 3A; 12/24V DC 14 AWG maximum; set-screw
426164-1 Polarized molded plug connector 4 5A; 12/24V DC 14 AWG maximum; set-screw
426234-1 Polarized four-conductor deck outlet 4 5A; 12/24V DC 14 AWG maximum; set-screw
426880-1 SAE polarized two-wire plug/socket 2 20A; 12/24V DC 16 AWG AWM; 12-in leads
Pin count is only part of the match. The 426164-1 and 426234-1 both use four conductors and are 5A/12–24V DC, but one is a molded connector while the other is a deck outlet. The 426142-1 is a 3A, two-conductor complete deck outlet; 426880-1 is a 20A SAE-style two-wire plug/socket. Their mating systems are not assumed interchangeable.

Manufacturer drawing measurements: 426142-1 A = 1 7/16 in, B = 1⅜ in; 426164-1 A = 1¼ in, B = 1 3/16 in; 426234-1 A = 2 1/16 in, B = 1⅞ in. The SAE 426880-1 is A = 1 1/16 in, B = ⅝ in, C = 5/16 in. Check the accompanying drawing to see which feature each letter refers to.

See the manufacturer technical drawings: Two-conductor deck outlet and Molded four-pin connector and Four-conductor deck outlet and SAE two-wire connector.

Inspect the removed part before replacement

  1. Check the old part's full manufacturer number and count the conductors or pins.
  2. Determine whether it is a fixed deck outlet, a molded multipin connector, or an SAE-style plug/socket with cable leads.
  3. Confirm the rated circuit: 3A for 426142-1, 5A for 426164-1 and 426234-1, and 20A for 426880-1.
  4. Match wire attachment: 14 AWG maximum set-screw terminals are different from 16 AWG tinned SAE leads.
  5. Inspect the mating part, cap, seal and mounting method before replacing any connector.

Exact catalog part numbers

Select an exact UsedRVParts listing to check its condition and availability. Viewing and pickup in Kelowna are by appointment.

For a separate 12V accessory receptacle or USB charging outlet, see the Sea-Dog socket identification guide. A polarized 3A, 5A or SAE connector is not a replacement for a higher-current power socket unless the full mating and circuit specifications match.
