Abstract: An apparatus or adapter is disclosed comprising a first conductor and a second conductor. The first conductor is adapted to be electrically connected to a central terminal of a cigarette lighter accessory socket and the second conductor adapted to be electrically connected to an outer terminal of the cigarette lighter accessory socket. The first conductor and the second conductor may be attached to a housing. The first conductor may be comprised of a first portion, which may be a conductive thimble, a second portion, and a third portion, which may be a spring shaped conductor. The apparatus may be further comprised of a first conductive terminal electrically connected to the first conductor, and a second conductive terminal electrically connected to the second conductor. A first device may be provided for attaching a first electrical lead to the first conductive terminal, and a second device may be provided for attaching a second electrical lead to the second conductive terminal.
