DC Wiring Devices

12 or 24 volt Receptacles and Plugs

341-240	Duplex Receptacle	$5.00
	Box of Ten	$40.00
340-240	Plug to Match	$7.49
	Box of Ten	$69.00

We recommend using a 240 volt type, duplex receptacle and a matching plug for your 12 or 24 volt circuits. These are heavy duty and a different configuration than the 120 volt plugs in your home, so the wrong plug cannot be plugged into either system. The plugs are three pronged so one also cannot turn them upside down and reverse the polarity of an appliance such as a DC fluorescent light. This duplex receptacle takes the same cover plate and wall box as a regular 120 volt duplex receptacle.
