Testing splitters 11 - doubles automotive outlets, we came to the conclusion to use them quite dangerous.
The external device in the car can be supplied with a cigarette lighter or outlet. The first is the contact-clamp of the bimetal-it is the thread that shoots the cigarette lighter when it is heated, and in an outlet it is clearly not. The slots may be 21.3 or 22.3 mm in diameter, with a depth of 29 to 35 mm. The detectors are made under 21 mm, ensuring their universality. The length should be chosen. But how to guarantee a reliable contact? The spring-loaded cap on the central inference seeks to push the tequer out of the nest, and the vibrations to it help. Therefore, some manufacturers made a ring wire on the tequier, which is fixed by the same bimetal plate. If there's such a groin on the tee, it's better to put it in the cable's nest. Two piston structures with a locking krope for the spring of the cigarette lighter (a) and without it (b). You should also pay attention to L: the smaller the smaller the better. HOW DO YOU PROTECT YOURSELF?In nine of the nine versions, the fuses were installed from eleven in the tee tequers-for 5, 8, more often at 10 A. We tested them in a reliable way by connecting the auto thermal vent fan for the windscreens, which required a 14 A network. The car's nest is usually protected by an insert of 15 A-it will hold. But the safety of all the treaders was obliged to be outrager, but only four products were made. There was no fuse in the fifth circuit, and a power button on the plug was burned instead. Taiwanese splitter, two beautiful, under a tree, the nests Auto H. K. twin socket GT-54309W (room 210 rubles) gave out a lot of smoke from a tequer, where only the fuse was left. The rest deformed. Two more articles filled the office with smoke and began to melt. One of the fuses was able to burn only at 20 A, and one was not able to burn. In all cases, the central contact on the tequier and the copper interconnection were heavily heated. A separate niche is occupied by a domestic product-an extension cord with a thick cable and a pair of "crocodile" instead of a steker. It is intended by the authors to be connected to the place where the clamps can grasp the details. It is not clear what to guard against in this case. The extension slot will withstand any load, but the onboard network. USB connector on the USB connector of the Chinese Multisocket AC 1216 (Price 220 rubles) Plaid at 14 A very graphic. The fuse is safe!NO RESPONSIBILITIES NOT NEED: Such a tee requires very careful handling. It is generally written on packages that "the manufacturer of the car is not responsible for the car". So, first of all, consider the current consumption of the device that you plan to connect through this splitter. The starklers, the communicator, the radar-the tee detector won't warm up. But if there's a defect, you don't have to count on the safety. And so simple advice: from time to time, feel the tee-tee: it is the one that warms first. And if you connect the powerful compressor, the vacuum cleaner, the heat-ventilator, the teapot, the coffee machine, do not leave them under the current without attention. After the smoke, the flames come out very quickly!ALWAYS CHECK THE FAN'S TEMPERATURE, ESPECIALLY THE TEQUER!
