So I am starting to run my 12V wiring inside the camper. I installed a 12v power station today to charge electronics etc. Can someone explain how the wires will connect? The one has a plug type end- the other has 2 wires. I think I am correct in that I run 2 (12v) wires to all my 12v items ( lights, water pump, this outlet)...but I am confused as to how something like this connect to the 2 wires. Thanks a ton!

Find yourself some "flat blade connectors" that will slip over the flat pieces. Crimp the flat blade connectors to your wire, and slip the connector over the terminals on the back of that USB outlet. One terminal is +12VDC and the other is ground. If they aren't marked, I'm not sure off the top of my head how to tell you to figure out which one is which.

Kaffi, Here's a pic of a "flat blade connector" that you just crimp onto your wire, and you can slide the connector over the tabs on the back side of the USB outlet (not my photo):  You just have to find the right size that's big enough to slide onto the blades on the back of the USB charger and still be small enough to accommodate your wire size. I hope that helps! |
