Many motorcycles have no USB port from the factory, and retrofitted sockets are often too large for a clean installation. On the road, vibration and water wear on the socket and plug until contacts fail, the plug kinks or the socket works loose. If the socket delivers too little power, the navigation device drains on tour despite being plugged in. The USB-C socket is designed around these points: 44×22×12 mm small, electronics encapsulated in resin, plug supported and 36 W charging power.
Benefits
- 44×22×12 mmFits wherever larger sockets cannot be accommodated.
- Electronics encapsulated in resin, IP67Rain, spray and vibration do not reach the electronics.
- Protective boot around the socketSupports plug and cable so that vibration wears out neither the plug nor the socket, and keeps dirt and moisture away from the contacts.
- 36 W in continuous operationDelivers 12 V at 3 A – more than a smartphone or tablet draws during navigation with the display on.
- 6.3 mm blade terminalsFit the ACC connections of KTM, HUSQVARNA and GASGAS without an adapter, and any 12 V electrical system via an adapter connector.
- Fork leg versionThe curved mounting surface sits directly against the fork leg, placing the socket within reach of the handlebar without an additional bracket.
Compatibility
- All motorcycles with a 12 V electrical system | direct or with adapter connector
The socket is connected to a switched 12 V supply or, via the Battery Guard, directly to the battery. Whether accessories are needed, and which ones, depends on the connection on the motorcycle. For mounting locations further away, the ACC extension cable extends the connection cable by 50 cm.
In the box
- 1× USB-C socket 36 W
- 1× 3M VHB adhesive pad
When connecting directly to the battery or to a line fused at more than 10 A, an additional fuse of max. 10 A is recommended. It is not included.
Compatibility
Does the USB-C socket fit my motorcycle?
Yes, on any motorcycle with a 12 V electrical system. On models with an ACC connection and 6.3 mm blade terminals, the socket plugs onto ACC1 or ACC2 without an adapter. Without this connection, the 12 V motorcycle connector that matches the motorcycle or the fuse tap provides the 12 V supply and the ring terminal adapter provides earth, without modifying the wiring harness.
Which USB-C cables fit into the protective boot of the USB-C socket?
Cables with an oval plug housing. The protective boot fits tightly around the plug so that it can support and seal it. Plug housings with a square or wide cross-section do not fit.
Installation and connection
Do I need a fuse for my USB-C socket?
Only when connected directly to the battery or to a circuit fused at more than 10 A. In that case, an additional fuse of max. 10 A is recommended. It is not included.
Function
Does the USB-C socket drain my motorcycle’s battery?
Not on switched live, but on permanent live it will after a few weeks. On a switched connection such as ACC2, the socket carries no power when the ignition is off. On permanent live it draws a standby current of 1 mA, and even this small current drains the battery during longer periods of standstill. Without switched live, use a battery isolator switch or the 12V Battery Guard, or only run the socket on permanent live if the motorcycle is ridden regularly.
Does the USB-C socket fast-charge my smartphone?
Yes. Current iPhones and Android smartphones charge via USB Power Delivery, Samsung devices additionally via PPS, and older Android devices via Quick Charge 3.0.
