Unsafe product – Dangerous overheating, fundamental design flaw I tried using this for a cooler with a 6-amp (rated) thermoelectric chip that actually draws about 5.5 amps. Within two minutes the center conductor post on the lighter adapter end was hot enough to cause 2nd-degree burns. I touched it to a wet sponge and it hissed. I estimate it would have melted the plastic housing in well under ten minutes. It is also the worst fitting plug I have ever seen. You can literally wiggle it back and forth 3/16 of an inch at the wire end of the plug when it…

Manufacturing Defect and Bright Power Indicator I was looking for a plug rated for 15A and decided to buy this to power my Yeesu FT 8800 mobile radio for temporary mobile use. The plug itself is glued together, so you are unable to easily take it apart to service the connections inside. The wire is heavy gauge and is of good quality. However, the three conductor connector on the end of the cord was useless for my purpose, so I cut it off and soldered the wires for my application.

Meets expectations Although it is advertised as a CB power cord, I use it for a more demanding application. I power a pure sine wave inverter with it. The continuous current draw ranges up to 12 amps continuous and, unlike cheaper plugs I have tried, it doesn’t get hot and the voltage drop at the inverter is only a few 10ths of a volt. The device has a substantial feel to it and is nicely manufactured from quality plastic, machined metal and the heavy gauge wire. This is the best quality 12V plug I have ever used…
