Accessory/Lighter port

Post by 8164 »

I know there is the AD for our airplanes regarding the old cigarette lighter port. I'd like to add a modern accessory port that could be used for USB chargers, plug-in lights, orany sort of "cigarette lighter- compatible" accessory . Has anybody installed the Lone Star TSO'd Cigarette Lighter Receptacle (Spruce P/N 11-09432), and any suggestions or tips for that? (It will be protected by a circuit breaker). I Want to install it as part of a generator-to-alternator conversion (Plane Power 50 amp) at the same time.

I'd suspect most now are putting in USB power ports instead of cigarette lighters. I did a Garmin GSB15 in my 120.
