This standard defines the test conditions, procedures and performance specifications for 6, 12 and 24-V manually actuated hazard warning signal switch.

The fuses shown are for use in motor vehicles, boats, and trailers to protect electrical wiring and equipment. This standard is for the construction shown and is not intended to restrict the design and use of other configurations and materials capable of meeting the vehicle requirements.

Flashers referred to in this SAE recommended engineering design practice are for nominal 12 V circuits and are required to operate the maximum design load per output terminal as stated by the flasher manufacturer. This design practice is intended for use in conjunction with a supplementary Service Performance Standard for Warning Lamp Flashers (under development).

This SAE Standard covers the basic cigar lighter receptacle, which may optionally incorporate overload protective devices. Figure 1 and Table 1 show the cigar lighter receptacle and its pertinent dimensions. Lighter plugs shall be permanently marked either "6 volt" or "12 volt". Manufacturers of accessory plugs to energize devices such as trouble lamps and razors are cautioned to conform to the provisions given in this document. Live contact of any accessory plug shall be made with the center stud; the contacting member must not be less than 3.56 mm in diameter and have a minimum spherical radius of 2.54 mm at the contacting end. To prevent damage, the body of an accessory plug back of the contact end should be large enough to serve as a centering guide when it is inserted into the receptacle. The contact end of any accessory plug should have sufficient taper so as not to interfere with the receptacle bimetal fingers.

This standard is intended to cover cigar or cigarette lighters as well as power outlets based on the form and dimensions of the cigar lighter, and accessory plugs for use in these devices. Components covered herein are designed to work in nominal 12 VDC systems. This standard is a full performance specification. It includes dimensional and operational parameters as well as performance characteristics which must be met when submitting a cigar lighter assembly, power outlet assembly, or plug for production approval. This standard constitutes an acceptance specification for these devices. This standard covers the operational, reliability, durability, acceptance, and testing requirements for a cigar lighter (also referred to as just “lighter”) for installation in the passenger compartment of production vehicles.
