The alternators found in cars and trucks generate alternating current, which is converted into direct current to power the battery and generate accessory power. Even though this type of electrical system still doesn't provide consistently uniform voltage, the voltage output continues to remain relatively steady irrespective how fast the alternator is spinning, which is an important factor in the increase in the use of the car cigarette lighter as a de facto DC power outlet.
The automotive cigarette lighter was initially designed to power an electrically heated cigarette. The receptacle is connected to a power source and ground, and the plug contains a coiled, bi-metallic strip. On pushing the plug into the receptacle, the coiled strip finishes an electrical circuit and rapidly becomes red hot.
This plug when removed from the receptacle, the red hot coil can be used to light a cigar or cigarette. Adapters used in electronic devices may change voltage to be compatible with the supplied device. Devices that require alternating-current mains electricity can be operated with a plug-in inverter.
The various factors that drive the automotive cigarette lighter market are the multi-utilty factor it can light a cigarette as well as power various types of accessories while driving. The factors that can restrain the automotive cigarette lighter market are bulkiness, relatively low rating. Reusing automotive cigarette lighter sockets as generic power connectors can lead to many problems.
The plugs tend to vibrate out of the socket under normal driving conditions, owing to poor retention and the decline in smoking in automobiles can lead to receptacles that can be used only for the purpose of charging and cannot be used as automotive cigarette lighters.
Repurposing these sockets as generic power connectors can lead to many problems. In addition to the issues, partially-compatible physical dimensions, plugs can vibrate out of the socket under normal driving conditions, due to poor retention.
Also, plugs tend to melt due to poor power connection in exceptional cases. Rarely, increasingly extreme cases of voltage fluctuation can occur when the car .Automotive cigarette lighters battery tends to disconnect while the engine is running, or when the car receives a jump start.
The automotive cigarette lighters market is segmented into seven regions, namely North America, Latin America, Asia Pacific excluding Japan (APEJ), Eastern Europe, Western Europe, Japan and the Middle East and Africa (MEA).
The automotive cigarette market in North America is in its maturity phase The consumers’ trends are transforming in the region which is influenced by the growing retailers generating the attractive and likewise innovative sale formats which can lead to the increase in the demand for Automotive Cigarette Lighters.
The retailers’ now-a-days keep first-hand knowledge on preferences and purchase habits of the consumers which they communicate to the upper stream of manufacturers in the supply chain. The growth of the automotive industry has lead to the increase in the demand for automotive cigarette lighters .
Also its applicability in other devices that devices that can be operated from an automotive cigarette lighter receptacle include lights, fans, beverage heating devices, and small motorized tools such as air compressors for inflating tires.
Many portable electronic devices such as mobile telephones or music players use an automotive cigarette lighter receptacle to recharge the internal batteries or to operate directly from the vehicle electrical system.
Nevertheless, automotive cigarette lighters receptacles are widely used, in all except the lowest-cost cars, trucks, RVs, and even boats can possess at least one such receptacle. Portable cigarette lighter receptacles can be attached to cables and alligator clips for connection directly to car batteries are available for temporary use.
