Frequently asked questions
What is a DIN socket and how does it differ from a cigarette lighter socket?
A DIN socket (also called a DIN connector or power socket) is a heavier-duty power connection rated to 16A, compared to a standard cigarette lighter socket which is typically rated to 10-15A in automotive applications. DIN sockets are commonly used for higher-current devices such as jump starter leads, compressors and heavy-duty chargers.
Are these sockets suitable for 24V truck systems?
Yes. All Durite sockets and plugs in this range are rated for 12V and 24V applications, making them compatible with both car and truck electrical systems.
Can I use a cigarette lighter socket for phone charging in a 24V truck?
Yes, provided the charger or adapter used is rated for 24V input. The Durite fast-charge USB + Type C car charger in this range is rated for 12/24V and is suitable for direct use in a 24V truck cab.
