Features
Durable Build
- High-Quality Construction: The Carviya 4332951758 Lighter Male Plug Adapter is crafted from premium materials, including phenolic plastic (Bakelite) for the plug shell and copper for the spring. Phenolic plastic is known for its hardness, high resistance, arc resistance, and heat resistance, making it an ideal choice for high-temperature electrical components. This ensures long-lasting performance, superior to standard plastic materials.
Universal Compatibility
- Fits Almost All Vehicles: This adapter is designed to be compatible with nearly all models of vehicles that have a 12V DC lighter socket. It’s versatile enough to power a wide range of electronic devices and appliances, from car inverters and air pumps to electric cups. Additionally, it can be used with other appliances that have compatible terminal connections.
Safety Features
- In-Line Fuse Protection: The adapter comes equipped with a built-in 15A glass fuse, offering protection against overcurrent and short circuits. This fuse safeguards your devices from potential electrical damage. Moreover, an extra 20A and 15A glass fuse are included in the package for added security and convenience.
- LED Indicator: A green LED indicator light is integrated into the adapter, drawing only about 2mA of current, which is negligible in terms of power consumption. This light helps confirm that the adapter is functioning correctly.
Compact Design
- Portable and Lightweight: The adapter is small and lightweight, making it easy to store in your vehicle’s glove compartment or any other storage space. Despite its compact size, it’s built to handle heavy-duty applications.
Easy Installation
- Plug-and-Play: The adapter is designed for simple and quick installation. It comes pre-soldered with a high-quality connection, ensuring a reliable and robust link between the plug and your vehicle’s lighter socket. You can simply plug it into your vehicle’s lighter socket, and it’s ready to power your devices.
16 AWG Heavy Duty Wire
- Robust Cabling: The adapter features RVB 2 X 1.5 square red and black cable, with the red cord indicating positive and the black cord indicating negative. The 16 AWG wire is heavy-duty, ensuring reliable power transmission, making it suitable for various heavy-duty applications.
High-Quality Plug and Terminals
- Phenolic Plastic Plug Shell: The plug shell is made from Bakelite, a type of phenolic plastic, which is superior in terms of heat resistance and durability. The copper spring inside provides better heat resistance, ensuring the adapter remains cool even under heavy loads.
- Eyelet Terminals: The adapter features larger and thicker 3/10″ eyelet terminals, which fit most vehicle batteries, including those in hatchbacks, sedans, SUVs, vans, trucks, boats, RVs, and more. This ensures a secure connection to your vehicle’s battery.
Wide Range of Applications
- Supports Various Inverters: The adapter can be used with 12V inverters for electrical equipment with actual power under 240W, and with 24V inverters for equipment under 480W. It’s suitable for nominal power inverters of 500W, 1000W, and 1500W, although proper use within the specified current limits is advised to avoid overheating.
Built-in Fuse and Extra Fuses
- Enhanced Safety: The product includes a built-in 15A glass fuse, with an extra 20A and 15A glass fuse provided for replacements. The fuse protects the adapter and your devices from electrical damage by breaking the circuit if the current exceeds safe levels.
High-Temperature Resistance
- Copper Spring and Contact: The use of copper for the spring and contact points enhances the adapter’s heat resistance, preventing overheating and ensuring a stable connection under heavy use.
Additional Notes
- Correct Usage: The adapter’s fuse is rated at 15A, with a maximum of 20A. Exceeding this current, especially in the vehicle’s cigarette lighter socket, can be dangerous. If the electrical load is too high, the adapter may overheat, and the fuse will blow to protect the system. It’s essential to ensure that the current draw from your devices is within the safe limits of the adapter to avoid any potential issues.
