GME LE09 12V DC Lead, Suits Most GME Fixed Radios

GME LE09 12V DC Hardwire Power Lead for Most GME Fixed Mount Radios with Bare Wire Ends for Battery or Fuse Panel Connection

The GME LE09 is a 12V DC hardwire power lead for permanent installation of most GME fixed mount radios, terminating in approximately 15mm of stripped red and black bare wire for direct connection to a vehicle battery, fuse panel, or DC power supply. The LE09 is the standard power lead included in the box with most GME fixed mount radios and is available here as a replacement or spare. Not suitable for the TX4600 or marine-style GME radios.

Product overview

The LE09 is designed for permanent hardwire radio installations rather than temporary connection via a cigarette lighter socket. Stripped bare wire ends allow direct connection to ring terminals, blade terminals, or lugs at the vehicle battery or fuse box the standard method for permanent automotive radio installations that produces a secure, vibration-resistant connection.

The TX4600 and marine-style GME radios are excluded from the LE09's compatibility. These models require different power leads. Using the LE09 on an excluded model risks an incorrect connection. If unsure whether the LE09 suits your radio, contact us before purchasing.

For a permanent installation, the LE09 lead should be protected with an in-line fuse of the appropriate rating for the radio being installed. Refer to the radio's installation manual for the recommended fuse size.
