Oscar: For North America you will need to look at J-563 (Mar. '90) in the SAE Handbook, which gives dimensions for the socket and a few critical ones for mating plugs. It also points out an 8A max. current restriction. There is also a UL standard UL2089 for "Vehicle Battery Adaptors" that is intended to cover power supplies that get their power from the lighter socket. This standard enforces SAE J-563.
