Cigarette Lighter Assemblies
Cigarette Lighter Assemblies are component products among electronic components and are mainly used in power interface modules of vehicles such as automobiles.
What are the Basic Structure of Cigarette Lighters?
It includes a metal shell, a resistive heating element, elastic contacts, and insulating materials, and realizes 12V/24V DC power supply through a plug-in design.
Built-in temperature fuse and bimetallic temperature control switch to prevent overheating damage.
What are the Functional Features of Cigarette Lighters?
Provides a standard power interface, which can be expanded to a USB charging port or a vehicle-mounted device power supply module.
The working current is usually 10-15A, and it needs to be used with a fuse and an overcurrent protection circuit.
What is the Manufacturing Process of Cigarette Lighters?
High-temperature-resistant engineering plastics (such as PBT) and nickel-plated copper alloy contacts are used to ensure durability.
The packaging form is mostly a direct-insert metal cylinder structure, which meets the IP67 waterproof grade requirements.
This component belongs to the C-type component (composite functional module) in the classification of electronic components. It integrates basic components such as resistors, switch devices, connectors, etc., and needs to pass UL/CE and other safety certifications.
With the increase of in-vehicle electronic devices, modern cigarette lighter components are developing in the direction of multi-functional integration. Some high-end models have integrated voltage displays, Type-C fast charging, and wireless charging functions.
