Need to power a device via your vehicle's cigarette lighter? With this DC male connector and our DB9-to-DB9/DC adaptor, you can easily power e.g. your CANedge CAN logger via your car's cigarette lighter (in case your CAN bus does not provide a direct power supply). It can also be used if you want to log data via a CANCrocodile, powering your installation via your cigarette outlet. Buy now - or learn more below!

The CANCrocodile lets you record data directly from the CAN wiring harness. It is 100% silent and contactless, making it popular for vehicle fleets. Here, the cigarette adapter provides a quick way for providing power to the CANCrocodile. What if I don't have a cigarette outlet? If you do not have a cigarette outlet available, you may alternatively power the CAN logger via a custom connection to your vehicle's battery. This is typically a solution deployed when using the CANedge with a CANCrocodile kit for more "fixed" setups rather than initial pilots. For non-vehicle applications, you can power the CAN logger using e.g. a wall power outlet and our DB9-DB9/DC adapter.
