Listers,
A gentleman (can't remember his name now) on the
AeroElectric List recently informed me of an excellent
cigarette lighter recepticle and plug combo. This unit
is of excellent quality. I feel that it's main claim
for fame for aircraft use, is that the plug locks into
the receptacle. It's original application is in boats.
Both aircraft and boats live in an environment which
features much more vibration than do cars and trucks.
This receptacle/plug combination will positively lock
in place. However, the plug is easily removed by
simply rotating it either clockwise or
counter-clockwise 30 degrees to release it.
I've found that the receptacle when used with other
plugs offers improved resistance to the plug vibrating
out. It holds the charger for my Nokia cell phone
quite well. The item is made by Marinco, model number
12VPK. The included plug houses a 10 amp fuse, an LED
power indicator and a water tight seal.
I found mine at my local Boat Owners Warehouse (BOW).
It wasn't listed in the online catalog, but they had
it in stock.
Here is the company's link to the product.
