Abstract
A USB charging device that is designed for installation in wet and/or environments where corrosive moisture (e.g., saltwater) are prevalent including a water tight enclosure that includes a door that is biased to a closed position to form a water tight seal over a USB receptacle. The device includes an intermediate seal that seals between the USB receptacles and the power electronics situated in the lower portion of the device. The device is also provided such that the lower portion may be slid into the upper portion to form a mechanical interlock and form an electrical connection between the upper and lower portions while simultaneously forming a water tight seal.
