Marine stainless steel female plug 16 A – code: 14.305.00 – Osculati

Marinco stainless steel female plug 16 A Osculati (code 14.305.00)

The Marinco stainless steel female plug Osculati code 14.305.00 è un componente dedicato ai collegamenti elettrici in ambito nautico, pensato per chi desidera una connessione ordinata e protetta tra cavo e presa compatibile. La serie è progettata per un utilizzo pratico in installazioni di bordo e in contesti dove è utile una protezione efficace contro gli agenti esterni.

Questa versione è una 3-wire plug with female contacts, suitable for coupling with sockets of the same family. The construction uses selected materials for use in marine environments: body in high-strength glass-filled thermopolymer and nickel-plated brass contacts.

Features and construction details

Electrical configuration

• Flow rate: 16 A
• Nominal voltage: 230 V
• Poles / wires: 3
• Contact type: female

Protection and sealing degree

The plug is indicated as completely waterproof and reports IP56 protection rating. This makes it suitable for installations where splashes and challenging environmental conditions typical of boating and onboard technical areas may be present.

Materials

• Body: high-strength glass-filled thermopolymer
• Contact: nickel-plated brass

The combination of reinforced body and nickel-plated contacts is designed to offer a robust solution consistent with maintenance and installation needs in marine environments.

Coupling compatibility

This plug is described as to be paired with sockets 14.301/302/303.00. When ordering and installing, it is important to verify that the socket to which it will be connected corresponds to one of these codes, to ensure correct coupling of the series.

Typical applications

The Marinco female plug is intended for onboard electrical systems and connections where a dedicated and protected connection is required. In particular, it can be used in:

• Power connections in the nautical field, in combination with compatible sockets of the series.
• Maintenance interventions and replacement of worn plugs, maintaining continuity with components already onboard.
• Fittings and refitting where you want to standardize connectors to a specific series.

For particular applications (system layout, cable passages, upstream/downstream components), it is advisable to evaluate the entire installation and the correct correspondence of the series codes.

Advantages for the installer and for onboard use

• Sealing and protection: IP56 rating and construction declared watertight, useful in exposed environments.
• Materials oriented for marine use: reinforced thermopolymer body and nickel-plated brass contacts.
• Dedicated series: coupling intended with sockets 14.301/302/303.00, for easier selection of compatible components.
• Practical size: suitable for technical installations where compact and orderly components are needed.

Usage and operational notes

Selection guidelines

Before purchase, check:

• that your socket is one of the 14.301 / 14.302 / 14.303.00 (as indicated in the series description);
• that the requested configuration is 3 wires and that female contacts;
• that the system values are consistent with 16 A and 230 V.

Installation

Installation must be carried out by competent personnel, following good wiring practices and system instructions. In case of replacement, it is useful to check the condition of the cable and clamping points, to maintain a stable and orderly connection over time.

Related accessories and components

In the same family, dedicated accessories are available (for example, watertight caps) and series variants. If you need to complete the connection or further protect the connection, consider specific components for the code 14.305.00 and for your system configuration.
