It's an iPhone accessory. Sort of...

My mower company released an iPhone charger port for their mower and I was tempted, but outraged too.

The 'kit' is $200. For a jack with a lid, and the 'custom cable'. The kicker is the 'custom cable' is around $10 RETAIL so that means their stupid 'sealed' USB port is $190? All it does is charge the iPhone. It has a USB-A receptacle. CHALLENGE ACCEPTED! Except, I'm having a problem finding a USB bulkhead plug that takes spade terminals on the backside. ARG!!! I hate to pay that much for something I think could be that simple. Just on principle...

Anyone know about a 'sealed' (it has a cover that keeps water out when not occupied) USB adapter roughly fitting that description? I found leads on an Amphenol part but the trail ran cold. I may be stuck going back and begging for that angel tear washed 'kit'.
