OEX ACX2861BL 12V 16A Accessory Plug for Cigarette Lighter and Merit Style Sockets with Screw Terminals

The OEX ACX2861BL is a 12V accessory plug rated at 16A, suitable for use in standard cigarette lighter sockets and merit style accessory sockets. The thermoplastic body features screw terminals for a secure, tool-tightened wire connection. The red head on the plug is removable, allowing it to fit into merit style sockets that require a slimmer profile than standard cigarette lighter plugs. Supplied as a single unit. Covered by a one year warranty.

Product overview

The ACX2861BL covers both the standard 12V cigarette lighter socket format and the merit socket format found in some vehicles and caravans. With the red head fitted, the plug suits standard cigarette lighter sockets. With the red head removed, the slimmer profile fits merit style sockets. The screw terminals provide a secure, tool-tightened connection for wiring, making the plug suited to custom cable assemblies and accessory wiring applications.

At 16A the plug handles a range of 12V accessory loads. Do not exceed the 16A rating and fuse the circuit appropriately before the plug if no internal fuse is present.

Frequently asked questions

What is a merit style socket? A merit socket is a 12V accessory socket used in some vehicles and caravans as an alternative to the cigarette lighter format. Merit sockets have a slightly different internal profile. Removing the red head from this plug allows it to fit merit style sockets.

How are the wires connected? The plug uses screw terminals for wiring, allowing wires to be secured with a screwdriver for a reliable mechanical connection.

What is the maximum current for this plug? This plug is rated at 16A at 12V. Do not exceed this rating. Fuse the circuit appropriately before the plug to protect both the plug and the connected accessory.

What is the difference between a cigarette lighter plug and a merit plug? Cigarette lighter plugs fit the standard 12V accessory socket format found in most vehicles. Merit plugs have a slimmer profile for merit style sockets. The ACX2861BL accommodates both formats: use it as standard for cigarette lighter sockets, or remove the red head for merit socket fitment.
