Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0310718A1] A socket (24) can accommodate a conventional cigar lighter socket-compatible plug (26), which can handle low currents, and a plug (22) which can handle lighter currents. The socket (24) comprises abutment surfaces (126) and (86) for transmitting power to spring loaded contacts (120, 124) on conventional cigar lighter socket-compatible plug (26). In addition, the socket (24) has first and second wiping contacts (76; 88a, b) which co-operate with first and second wiping contacts (44; 56a, b) of plug (22). The socket (24) is provided with a boss (148) which prevents a standard cigar lighter plug being actuated if it is inserted in the socket (24). The end of the plug (22) is provided with a layer of insulation which prevents electricity being supplied to the plug (22) on insertion of the plug (22) in a conventional cigar lighter socket (130).
