Scanstrut Ventura XT60 Solar Input Socket

Scanstrut Ventura XT60 Solar Input Socket: Reliable Outdoor Power Integration

Need a secure, permanent connection for your portable solar panels? Routing cables through windows or doors is a common hassle that risks cable chafing and moisture ingress. The Scanstrut Ventura Series XT60 Solar Connection provides a robust, flush-mounted bulkhead interface for life off the beaten track. Whether you are charging a secondary battery bank at a remote campsite, powering a portable fridge in the back of your 4×4, or running auxiliary gear from an overland camper trailer, this socket delivers exceptional reliability. Built specifically for exterior applications, its low-profile design stays secure regardless of the terrain, while the optimised cable fit supports higher voltages and heavy electrical loads with ease.

High-Capacity Power Delivery for 12V, 24V, and 48V Systems

At the core of the assembly is a premium Amass XT60EW-M male waterproof connector. Designed for high-current applications, it boasts a 30A continuous current rating and a 60A instantaneous rating, allowing for maximum power delivery across various system voltages. It seamlessly handles up to 360W on a 12V input, 720W on a 24V input, and an impressive 1440W on a 48V input. The socket is compatible with standard XT60-F female connectors as well as XT60W-F waterproof female connectors, ensuring IP65 protection while actively plugged in.

Marine-Grade Durability and Weather Protection

Engineered with Scanstrut’s renowned marine-grade innovation, this solar input socket is built to withstand Australia’s harshest coastal and outback conditions. When the protective spring-loaded cover is closed, the unit achieves an outstanding IP68 and IP69K waterproof rating, completely sealing out dust, high-pressure water, and moisture. The housing is constructed from UV-resistant materials to prevent degradation under intense sunlight, while all external hardware, including the internal spring and supplied mounting screws, is manufactured from highly corrosion-resistant 316 stainless steel. A 90-degree holding bump-feature keeps the lid fully open at 180 degrees during use, making plug insertion straightforward and hassle-free.

Streamlined and Professional Installation

Integrating this socket into your caravan, boat, or 4×4 canopy is incredibly simple. It requires a standard 25mm hole saw installation, eliminating the need for complex cutouts. The rear of the unit is pre-wired with a 150mm length of 4mm2 (12AWG) tinned copper wire, offering excellent conductivity and preventing internal wire corrosion over time. A thick mounting gasket is included to ensure a perfect watertight seal against the exterior mounting surface.
