12V- PARTS.COM
an
ISO 9001:2000
company
Supplying a Comprehensive Assortment of 12V Parts
We offer standard and custom 12 volt parts including plugs, sockets, cable sets, and fuse holders. All of our products
are available standard in amperages from milliamps up to 20 amp. If your company needs parts with a higher
amperage rating, we can custom manufacture those as well.
Our plugs are available in the color of your choice, with or without a red or green LED. Parts are manufactured to fit
any make of automobile including those from Europe, America and Asia. They are made of the finest materials having
undergone extreme durability testing including dragging and crushing. The thick and rugged plastic is engineered to
withstand the worst abuse.
Equally as tough, our sockets are precisely sized to make an easy, yet snug, connection every time. Weather-resistant
and marine versions are available for the harshest conditions. We also carry an assortment of safety cover accessories.
If your company needs a custom cord set, we offer a complete line of wire and connector options. Our coiled or straight
cables can be made to a specified wire gauge and can include inline reset-able fuses and EMI shield coils. For cable
assemblies we have twenty one plugs for every price point available and a complete line of connector options for the
other end as well. If we don’t stock the connector you need, we can manufacture it to your specifications. And, we
can even do splits in the cable if needed !
We also carry blade and inline fuse holders, as well as, fuse clips. They are PC-mountable and have low-profiles, so they
are ready to be integrated into your project. All of our parts are made to the same strict quality standards, so you can be
assured that your customers’ safety is guaranteed when using our fuse holders.
Because we produce parts in high volumes, we can pass on the best prices and great service. In addition, for custom
parts we can suggest design or manufacturability improvements to aid reliability and reduce costs. We have ISO 9001
certification, a sign of the commitment we have made to demand high quality as much as our customers do.

Automotive 12V Technology
In today’s world, a wide array of automotive 12 volt plug-in cord sets, 12v-plugs and 12v-sockets are presented
to designers of electronic systems and products. Some are hardly up to the challenges presented by the ever-
increasing multitude of electronic devices like cell phones, iPods and portable navigation devices that have become
as commonplace as tires on a vehicle.
Market Outlook:
Automotive 12 volt cord sets are normally made with twin copper wires and in lengths
typically from three to fifteen feet. Some use heavy gage copper wire in longer lengths and are greatly affected by
changes in copper’s pricing. Long lengths of heavy gage wires sometimes suffer twice because of higher freight costs
with rising petroleum and labor costs.
Vibration. Heat. Shock. Humidity. Corrosion. Pressure.
These real-world conditions cause device failures
and higher support costs for suppliers. Without a reliable and continuous supply of current, an electronic device’s
operation will be interrupted and the system might be damaged. Repeated, forceful insertions and removals by
consumers could cause stress fractures of plastic or metal components and wires.
Automotive plug-in cord set designs are traditionally full of trade-offs: size and weight constraints versus durability,
ease of insertion and removal versus ability to retain the plug under rigorous conditions, and durability of materials
versus component cost, to name a few. The increasing demand for ruggedness of portable devices has made the
balancing act of 12v-plug design even trickier.
Retention:
An automotive 12v-plug needs to be able to retain itself into the socket even under significant
vibration, shock, and torque. Failure to properly hold the connection, even for a matter of microseconds, can result
in an interruption of power and device malfunction. A well-designed 12v-plug will resist shock and vibration, while
remaining easy to remove without tools.
Durability:
Depending on the use, a device could have its 12v-plug inserted hundreds or even thousands
of times throughout its lifespan. Because of the retention issues described above, an automotive plug must hold
its connection securely. However, this results in extra wear upon the contacts as the same high grip which secured
the 12v-plug causes increased wear under the stresses of removal and insertion. Thus, it is important to insure that
12v-plug materials be durable enough to withstand stresses that could cause dangerous fractures.
Corrosion Resistance:
When components are exposed to humidity, airborne pollutants, extreme temperatures,
and other environmental conditions, corrosion can result. Over time, this corrosive build-up can cause loss of electrical
contact. The use of corrosion resistant contacts is particularly necessary for portable devices, where protection from
the elements cannot be guaranteed.
Contact Conductivity:
The choice of metals in 12v-plug sets determine how easily electricity will flow from the
automobile to the device. Some types of platings are subject to oxidation and thus the resulting increase in electrical
resistance. More conductive metals that resist oxidation, such as gold, allow high conductivity, meaning lower resistance,
which allows for slightly quicker charging during short trips.
Fuses:
A safety item that every automotive cord set should have but frequently do not. Many assume that the
current in automobiles is not subject to voltage changes. An automobiles electrical system can have very high voltage
spikes, for instance when the starter stops a minus 200 volt spike can occur, and large positive spikes can also
occur. The battery does a good job as a filter because it acts like a large capacitor to absorb these spikes, but a fuse
is an inexpensive insurance, especially in a product having worldwide distribution and use.
