What is a cigarette lighter socket?
Cigarette lighter sockets are found in cars or other vehicles and they have two main purposes. Some feature a heating element which is used as a lighter for cigarettes. Alternatively, they are used as a power socket and/or adapter to provide power to portable devices. Cigarette lighter sockets and plugs are in-car accessories which are available in single or multi-socket options.
What voltage are they?
The majority of cigarette lighter sockets are rated 12 or 24 V.
Note
Similar in concept to an automotive cigar lighter, the DIN 4165 connector is shorter and smaller than the Standard Cigarette Lighter Socket normally found in cars.
