Blue Sea's dual USB-A chargers provide handy 5V charging points in RVs, boats and other 12/24V DC installations. The important choice is not just charging speed: 1016 and 1045 use a round socket cutout, while 1039 fits a Contura switch opening.

Match the charger to the panel opening

Round socket mount · 1016 / 1045

Both mount in a 1-1/8-inch round hole. The 1016 is a 2.1A-total charger while 1045 provides up to 4.8A total USB output.

Rectangular switch mount · 1039

The 1039 is designed for a Contura-style switch aperture (approximately 1.45 × 0.83 inches). It also provides up to 4.8A total USB output.

Blue Sea USB charger comparison

MPN Mounting Cutout Maximum USB output Input
1016 Round socket mount 1-1/8 in diameter 5V, 2.1A total 12/24V DC on current version
1039 Contura switch mount 1.45 in high × 0.83 in wide 5V, 4.8A total 12/24V DC
1045 Round socket mount 1-1/8 in diameter 5V, 4.8A total 12/24V DC

The current manufacturer data for 1016 lists a 9–32V input range, but earlier 1016 revisions were limited to 9–16V. Check the voltage marking on the specific unit before connecting it to a 24V system.

Four installation details that affect your choice

  1. Confirm the power supply. The manufacturer's current models accept 12/24V DC, but an older 1016 unit can be 12V only. Check the product revision.
  2. Measure the mounting opening. The 1039 fits a rectangular Contura switch location; 1016 and 1045 fit the common 1-1/8-inch round socket opening.
  3. Plan the charging load. USB current values are combined output ratings for both ports, not the current guaranteed at each port.
  4. Follow the wiring instructions. Install appropriate circuit protection and verify polarity. The 1016 installation information specifies a 2A supply fuse that is not included with the unit.
These dual USB-A outlets deliver a nominal 5V USB supply. They should not be assumed to provide USB-C or USB Power Delivery fast charging. With the dust cap closed, Blue Sea's current models carry an IP45 rating.
