Mfg. Q&A
- What is the max amps for this plug? 1500 amps peak, 240 amps continuous.

Thank you for quick and profasional service
Great job.
Fast shipping. Excellent qulity.
Fast, Thanks
This plus is also the same for the Rockwell Commander 112 and 114. Works very well and its a perfect fit.
Very high quality and straight forward to assemble. Fits my 172RG perfectly.
Works great. I cut off the clamps to an old pair of jumper cables and flame soldered the wires to the contacts provided with the plug. After reassembly the plug is sturdy and gives a good fit to my electrical input connector. Five stars.
For the price it is a fantastic power plug
Well made, and designed to carry enough current to operate the starter. I bought this just to hook up a power supply so I can work on airplane electrical systems without depleting battery charge, but it can do much more.

No, this is a plug only. You may be able to wire your aircraft, and this plug to do this, but this plug is commonly used to wire to a power source to jump start an aircraft, or to an APU to power your instrument panel.
Yes, most Beechcraft are equipped with the 3 pin style receptacle. We cannot 100% confirm so we do ask that ytou check the receptacle on the aircraft to ensure the correct plug style is ordered.
