Sea-Dog 426142-1
A complete two-conductor deck outlet with keyed unequal pins, gasket and water-resistant cap; mounts with two #6 round-head screws (not included).
Sea-Dog Polarized Marine Connectors: Pins, Amps & Fit
Sea-Dog's polarized electrical connections prevent mating in the wrong orientation, but they serve different installations. Some mount through a deck, another is a molded four-pin plug, and a two-wire SAE connector has its own lead arrangement. Compare the manufacturer number and circuit current rather than treating all polarized connectors as substitutes.

| MPN | Device / connection | Conductors | Rating | Wire termination |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 426142-1 | Complete polarized deck outlet | 2 | 3A; 12/24V DC | 14 AWG maximum; set-screw |
| 426164-1 | Polarized molded plug connector | 4 | 5A; 12/24V DC | 14 AWG maximum; set-screw |
| 426234-1 | Polarized four-conductor deck outlet | 4 | 5A; 12/24V DC | 14 AWG maximum; set-screw |
| 426880-1 | SAE polarized two-wire plug/socket | 2 | 20A; 12/24V DC | 16 AWG AWM; 12-in leads |
Pin count is only part of the match. The 426164-1 and 426234-1 both use four conductors and are 5A/12–24V DC, but one is a molded connector while the other is a deck outlet. The 426142-1 is a 3A, two-conductor complete deck outlet; 426880-1 is a 20A SAE-style two-wire plug/socket. Their mating systems are not assumed interchangeable.
Manufacturer drawing measurements: 426142-1 A = 1 7/16 in, B = 1⅜ in; 426164-1 A = 1¼ in, B = 1 3/16 in; 426234-1 A = 2 1/16 in, B = 1⅞ in. The SAE 426880-1 is A = 1 1/16 in, B = ⅝ in, C = 5/16 in. Check the accompanying drawing to see which feature each letter refers to.
See the manufacturer technical drawings: Two-conductor deck outlet and Molded four-pin connector and Four-conductor deck outlet and SAE two-wire connector.
How to check the correct replacement
- Confirm the actual connector system and mating plug rather than choosing by the number of pins alone.
- Choose the correct 12/24V DC amp rating and observe the manufacturer's maximum conductor size.
- For deck installation, compare the gasket, cap and #6 mounting screw arrangement with the existing hole.
- Use the manufacturer A/B/C drawings to verify mounting geometry before cutting the deck.
- Isolate the circuit, follow marine wiring requirements and check polarity before restoring power.

Sea-Dog 426164-1
Four unequally sized polarized pins in a molded connector. Other pin-count versions exist but are separate MPNs.
Sea-Dog 426234-1
Four-conductor deck outlet with a capped body, not the same mounting arrangement as molded 426164-1.
Sea-Dog 426880-1
Weather-resistant two-wire SAE plug and socket with tinned lead wires; not interchangeable with the 3A two-pin deck outlet.

For a separate 12V accessory receptacle or USB charging outlet, see our Sea-Dog 12V socket and USB charger guide. A polarized 3A, 5A or SAE connector is not a replacement for a higher-current power socket unless the full mating and circuit specifications match.
