SONRU C59 7 in 1 Cigarette Lighter Splitter, 180W max 192W 3-Socket Car Cigarette Lighter Adapter

Model: C59 | Input: 12V/24V DC | Total Power: 180W (Max 192W)

Overview

The SONRU 7-in-1 Cigarette Lighter Splitter is a multi-port power adapter for vehicles. It expands a single vehicle cigarette lighter socket into three 12V/24V sockets and four USB charging ports, allowing simultaneous power and charging for multiple devices.

Package Contents

• 1x Cigarette Lighter Splitter (with integrated 3.7ft/1.13m cable)
• 2x Spare 15A Fuses
• 1x Velcro Strip (for cable management)
• 1x User Manual (this document)

Features & Specifications

Physical Ports & Controls

• Input: Standard male cigarette lighter plug (12V/24V DC).
• Output Sockets (x3): Standard female cigarette lighter sockets. Each is controlled by an independent on/off switch.
• USB Charging Ports (x4):
  • USB-A1: 5V/2.4A (12W Standard charging)
  • USB-A2: QC3.0 18W Fast Charging (when used alone). Shares a chip with USB-C2.
  • USB-C1: PD up to 36W (Max 45W at 20V) Fast Charging.
  • USB-C2: PD up to 36W Fast Charging. Shares a chip with USB-A2.
• Independent Switches (x3): One for each cigarette lighter socket. Toggle to control power to devices plugged into those sockets individually.
• LED Voltage Display: Digital screen that shows the vehicle's real-time operating voltage.

Technical Specifications

Power Sharing Notes

• USB-A2 and USB-C2 share a charging chip. If both are used simultaneously, the total shared output is 5V/3A (15W). For full fast charging capability, use only one of these two ports at a time.
• The power for a single cigarette lighter socket should not exceed 120W.
• The total combined load of all ports and sockets must not exceed 180W (192W max peak).

Use Guide

Installation

1. Ensure your vehicle is turned off or in accessory mode.
2. Insert the splitter's cigarette lighter plug firmly into your vehicle's 12V/24V power outlet (cigarette lighter socket).
3. The LED voltage display will illuminate, showing your vehicle's current voltage (e.g., 12.6V, 24.2V).
4. Use the provided Velcro strip to secure excess cable and manage wires neatly.

Using the Cigarette Lighter Sockets

1. Plug your 12V/24V device (e.g., tire inflator, car vacuum, fridge) into one of the three female sockets.
2. Press the corresponding independent switch next to the socket to turn the power on. The device will receive power.
3. To turn the device off, press the switch again. This eliminates the need to unplug the device.
4. Repeat for other sockets as needed. Each socket can be controlled independently.

Using the USB Charging Ports

1. Connect your USB device (phone, tablet, camera) to the appropriate port using a compatible cable.
2. The built-in smart chip will automatically identify the device and deliver the optimal charging current.
3. For the fastest charging:
   • Use the USB-C1 port with a USB-C to USB-C cable for compatible laptops, tablets, or phones.
   • Use the USB-A2 port alone for QC3.0 compatible devices.
   • Use the USB-C2 port alone for PD compatible devices.

Understanding the LED Voltage Display

• The display shows the live voltage of your vehicle's electrical system.
• Normal Operation: A steady reading (e.g., ~12.5V when engine off, ~14.4V when engine running for a 12V system).
• Low Voltage Warning: If the voltage drops below 12V (for 12V systems), the display will flash. This indicates a potentially weak battery. Consider starting the engine to charge the battery.

Safety & Maintenance

Built-in Protections

The device includes multiple safety features:

• Overcurrent/Overload Protection: Automatically cuts power if the draw exceeds safe limits.
• Overvoltage/Short Circuit Protection: Protects both the adapter and your connected devices.
• Overheating Protection: Reduces output or shuts down if internal temperature is too high.
• Replaceable Fuse: A 15A fuse protects the main circuit. Two spare fuses are included.

Replacing the Fuse

1. Unplug the splitter from the vehicle's power outlet.
2. Locate the fuse compartment on the main body of the splitter.
3. Open the compartment and remove the old fuse.
4. Insert a new 15A fuse (included). Ensure it is seated properly.
5. Close the compartment and re-test the device.

General Warnings

• Do not use with household AC power outlets (110V/220V). For automotive DC use only.
• Do not expose to water or excessive moisture.
• Do not cover the device during operation to allow for proper heat dissipation.
• Periodically check the plug, cable, and housing for damage. Do not use if damaged.
• Ensure the total power consumption of all connected devices does not exceed 180W.
