Abstract
A marine on-board charger inlet includes a housing having a circular-shaped rib within the housing interior which is received in a recess located at the front end of an electrical plug. The front end of the plug is planar and is aligned with a planar surface of the rib. This enables conventionally sized electrical prongs to be utilized and the plug to be used in the manner of a conventional electrical plug. A lock tab integral with the housing cooperates with a detent on the plug to maintain the housing and plug together.
