Product Information

Full details

The St Helens Cigar Socket to Cigar Plug Extension Lead is an essential accessory for drivers and campers who need to bridge the gap between their vehicle's power source and their electronic devices. Designed for anyone requiring extra reach for 12V equipment, it provides a reliable power connection with a generous 2-meter length, though it is strictly limited to 5-amp total power draw, making it unsuitable for high-wattage appliances like air compressors or portable heaters.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this for my tire inflator or air compressor?

No. Most tire inflators exceed the 5A rating and will blow the internal fuse or cause damage to the lead.

Does this work in both 12V and 24V vehicles?

This lead is specifically designed for 12V systems. It should not be used in 24V systems.

What is the maximum power (wattage) I can pull through this cable?

With a 5A limit at 12V, the maximum recommended power draw is approximately 60 watts.

Is the fuse replaceable?

Yes, the plug features a screw-cap design that allows you to access and replace the fuse if it blows.

Will this work if my car socket only has power when the ignition is on?

Yes, the lead will only provide power when the vehicle's socket itself is live.

Troubleshooting

Device connected to the extension lead is not receiving power

Ensure the male plug is fully inserted into the vehicle socket and check if the vehicle's own 12V accessory fuse is intact.

The lead stopped working suddenly during use

Unscrew the tip of the male plug to inspect the internal 5A fuse; if the filament is broken, replace it with an equivalent 5A fuse.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the lead, simply insert the male cigar plug into your vehicle’s 12V socket until it sits firmly in place. Ensure your device is connected to the female end before turning the vehicle ignition to the auxiliary or 'on' position to provide power.

Compatibility Note: This lead is strictly for 12V systems. Do not attempt to use it in higher-voltage environments.

Care Instructions:

  • Keep the cable away from sharp edges or moving mechanical parts, such as seat tracks.
