The pro car Winkelbarer 2fach USB Ladestecker is an angled dual USB charging plug designed for use in vehicles with 12 V or 24 V electrical systems. It accepts USB-A adapters that step vehicle voltage down to 5 V and provides two USB outputs with a combined maximum current capacity of 5 A (2 x 2.5 A). The angled form factor facilitates cable routing and insertion in cigarette lighter and DIN-standard sockets found in cars, caravans and boats, allowing charging and operation of phones, tablets and other USB-powered devices.
Advantages
The device delivers two 5 V USB outputs with a maximum total current of 5,000 mA, enabling simultaneous charging of two devices. Its angled connector simplifies placement in confined vehicle interiors and reduces strain on cables and adapters. Compatibility with both 12 V and 24 V vehicle circuits makes it suitable for passenger cars, commercial vehicles, caravans and marine vessels. Installation requires only insertion into standard cigarette lighter or DIN sockets, with no additional wiring.
Suitable for
- Charging mobile phones and smartphones while driving
- Powering tablets and portable media players in cars, vans and RVs
- Operating GPS/sat‑nav units and digital cameras that charge via USB
- Using with USB‑A adapters that convert 12 V or 24 V to 5 V
- Installation in vehicles with cigarette lighter or DIN standard sockets
When it may not be suitable
This USB charging plug is not a standalone voltage converter: it requires USB‑A adapters that convert the vehicle 12 V/24 V to 5 V USB output. Devices that demand more than the specified current (over 2.5 A per port or more than 5 A combined) will not be fully supported and may charge slowly or not at all. It is not intended for permanent hardwired installations or for use in electrical systems outside the specified 12–24 V vehicle range.
Key specifications
- Input voltage range: 12 V – 24 V DC
- Output voltage: 5 V DC (via compatible USB‑A adapters)
- Maximum current capacity: 5,000 mA total (2 × 2,500 mA)
- Connector type: angled plug for cigarette lighter / DIN standard sockets
- Number of USB outputs: 2 (USB‑A format compatible)
- Intended use: charging and operating USB‑powered mobile devices
How to use
Insert the angled pro car USB charging plug into a vehicle cigarette lighter or DIN socket on a 12 V or 24 V electrical system. Attach USB‑A adapters that convert the socket voltage to 5 V USB outputs into the provided USB ports. Connect devices using standard USB‑A to device cables. Monitor device charging and avoid drawing more than the specified current per port or in total. Remove the plug when the vehicle is not in use for extended periods to avoid battery drain.
What to consider before purchase
- Verify that your vehicle socket provides 12 V or 24 V and is compatible with cigarette lighter / DIN sockets.
- Ensure your USB‑powered devices and any USB‑A adapters do not demand more than 2.5 A per port or 5 A total.
- Confirm you have USB‑A adapters that convert 12 V/24 V to 5 V if not built into the plug.
- Check physical space around the socket to ensure the angled plug fits without obstructing other controls or ports.
Usage recommendations
Use quality USB cables and appropriate USB‑A adapters rated for the intended current. If charging high‑draw devices such as large tablets, connect them one at a time or use a dedicated high‑current adapter to ensure reliable charging. Regularly inspect the plug and vehicle socket for secure contact and signs of wear.
