The easiest 12V socket to install — no cutout hole needed. This surface mount socket screws directly onto any cabinet face or metal surface, making it a simple retrofit addition to a finished van build or an easy first socket for a DIY build. Built-in short circuit and overheat protection for safe operation.

Benefits:
• No cutout required — mounts flat with just two screws.
• Built-in short circuit and overheat protection cuts power automatically on a fault.
• Compact 83 x 37 x 55mm — fits in tight spots without protruding significantly.
• Accepts all standard 12V cigarette lighter-style plugs.
• Can be mounted on wood, ply, or directly on metal surfaces.
• Easy DIY installation — no panel cutting tools needed.

Features:
The surface mount design means you can add a 12V socket to any location without routing cables through panels or cutting holes. Wire the positive to a fused circuit (10A recommended) and the negative to your earth bar. Short circuit and overheat protection is built into the unit — if something draws too much current, it cuts before cables overheat. Dimensions: 83 x 37 x 55mm.

For a flush panel-mount look, see the Panel Mount Power Socket. For USB charging, add the Narva USB-A / USB-C Socket.

People are asking

Does this surface mount socket need a cutout hole?

No — that is the key advantage of a surface mount design. The socket mounts flat against the surface of your cabinet or panel using screws, with no large cutout required. Two small screw holes are all you need. This makes it much easier to install on finished cabinetry or directly onto metal without specialised tools.

Is this socket safe for van use?

Yes. The socket includes built-in short circuit and overheat protection, which cuts power automatically if a fault occurs. This makes it safe for use in a van environment. Always fuse the positive wire feeding this socket at the fuse block — a 10A fuse on the circuit is appropriate for most accessories.

What is the difference between this and the panel mount socket?

The panel mount socket requires a round cutout hole and sits flush with your panel face for a cleaner, integrated look. This surface mount version screws onto the face of any surface without a cutout, making it easier to retrofit to finished cabinetry or metal. Both accept standard 12V cigarette lighter-style plugs.
