Charles, I assume your equipment is ITE for use in vehicles. Since power at the socket can be non-limiting, best is to design your equipment to have the required fire enclosure. Your other option is to provide an approved fused cigarette lighter cord set with built in fuse which would meet the requirements for limited power source requirements in IEC 60950. Regards

Typically this is provided by a UL Listed ac/dc power supply that meets the Limited Power Source requirement of IEC60950. We wish to be able to power this from the 12V "cigarette lighter" socket in a car: Is there a standard that covers the output of 12V sockets in cars? Do they have to meet something similar to the Limited Power Source requirements of IEC60950? regards Charlie Blackham Senior Approvals Engineer Airspan Communications Ltd.
