Vadaxx 2-Pack Aluminum 12V Recessed USB Outlet – Dual Port USB-C PD36W + USB-A QC18W, CNC Heat-Dissipating

Vadaxx 2PCS Aluminum 12V recessed USB outlet is a dual-port vehicle power socket with a 36W USB-C PD and 18W USB-A QC, built in CNC aluminum for improved heat dissipation and long-lasting performance.

Replace bulky cigarette lighter sockets or add a hidden charging port to your RV, car, boat, or custom panel with these compact, recessed 12V–24V outlets. Precision-machined from aluminum, they run cooler than plastic competitors and include an intelligent safety chip, soft blue locating LED, and two installation options for a clean, professional finish that fits tight spaces.

How does this outlet improve charging speed and device compatibility?

The Vadaxx dual-port design pairs USB-C Power Delivery (PD3.0) with USB-A Quick Charge (QC3.0) so you can fast-charge modern phones, tablets, and accessories simultaneously. The built-in identification chip negotiates optimal voltage for connected devices to maximize charging efficiency.

• USB-C PD supports up to 36W output for rapid charging of phones and tablets.
• USB-A QC3.0 supplies up to 18W for older phones and accessories.
• Automatic protocol recognition for iOS and Android devices.
• Works across 12V–24V DC systems for broad vehicle compatibility.

Is the aluminum body really better than plastic for vehicle use?

Yes — CNC aluminum offers significantly higher heat dissipation than plastic, keeping the port cooler under sustained loads and reducing the chance of plastic deformation. The metal housing also improves durability in mobile environments where vibration and temperature swings are common.

• High-grade aluminum alloy construction for improved thermal performance.
• 60% better heat dissipation versus typical plastic housings.
• Resists melting and softening at high temperature loads.
• Longer service life in harsh environments like RVs and boats.

What installation options and mounting details should I know?

Vadaxx outlets support two installation methods: direct replacement of a 7/8" (22mm) cigarette lighter or recessed mounting through a 0.91" hole secured with the included locking nut. The compact footprint fits dashboards, cabinets, bedside panels, or bespoke control stations where space is limited.

• Direct swap for standard 7/8" cigarette lighter sockets.
• Recessed installation requires a 0.91-inch hole and locking nut.
• Compact size fits tight spaces in RVs, boats, motorcycles, and more.
• Package includes 2x dual-port sockets and 2x locking nuts.

What safety features protect my devices and vehicle?

An intelligent safety control chip monitors voltage and current to guard against overheating, over-current, over-voltage, over-charging, and surges. The outlet will stop charging when a device is fully charged, and the metal body further reduces thermal build-up under load.

• Integrated protection against overheating and electrical surges.
• Automatic shutoff upon full charge to prevent overcharging.
• Robust circuitry for consistent performance across 12V–24V systems.
• Soft blue LED for low-glare port location in the dark.

Who is this for? Installers, RV owners, boaters, and custom-vehicle builders who want a compact, reliable, and fast-charging USB solution will appreciate the Vadaxx aluminum outlets. They suit anyone replacing a cigarette lighter socket or adding a hidden charging port in dashboards, cabinets, bedside panels, or control consoles — especially where heat management and long-term durability matter.
