ICOM CP-25H cigaregyújtó-kábel

The CP-25H cigarette lighter cable is a power cable designed to supply direct current to an Icom-compatible charging socket from a vehicle or boat's cigarette lighter socket.

This cable is used to power and charge Icom portable marine VHF radios via their dedicated charging cradle, using a 12V DC power source available through a cigarette lighter socket.

The CP-25H cable is designed to operate with a 12V DC power source, typically provided by a standard cigarette lighter socket.

The CP-25H is a power cable. It supplies the current required to the radio’s charging base, but does not include the charging electronics itself. The charging function is handled by the charging base and the radio.

Yes, the CP-25H cable is specifically designed as an accessory for Icom portable marine VHF radios, indicating it is intended for use in a nautical environment.

Yes, the CP-25H cigarette lighter cable is specifically designed for use with the Icom BC-210 desktop charger.

It allows powering the BC-210 charger from a 12V DC cigarette lighter socket, whether in a vehicle or on a boat. This setup enables recharging compatible Icom portable VHF radios (such as the IC-M25, IC-M37, IC-M73, IC-M93D, IC-M94D series, among others) via their charging cradle while on the move.

The built-in fuse in the CP-25H cigarette lighter power cord is an essential safety component. Its main role is to protect both the connected device (such as an Icom radio or BC-210 desktop charger) and the vehicle's (boat or car) electrical system from damage caused by overcurrents or short circuits.

In the event of an electrical overload or short circuit, the fuse filament melts, thereby interrupting the current flow and preventing excessive currents from reaching sensitive components of your equipment or damaging the vehicle's wiring. It acts as a deliberate weak link to ensure the safety and longevity of your devices.

The CP-25H cable is fitted with a standard male plug compatible with 12V DC cigarette lighter sockets found in vehicles and boats.

The CP-25H cigarette lighter cable is fitted with a standard cylindrical connector (also called a "barrel jack") for plugging into a desktop charger or directly into certain compatible Icom radio models.

Its dimensions are:

Outer diameter: 5.5 mmInner diameter: 2.1 mmThese dimensions are critical to ensure compatibility with the input port of your Icom device.

No, the CP-25H cable is designed to connect to a specific Icom charging base (e.g., BC-217, BC-235), which in turn charges the radio. It cannot directly power a radio without the base.

The CP-25H cigarette lighter power cord is designed to provide 12V DC power at 1A. Icom radios and desktop chargers compatible with this input voltage are suitable for operation or battery charging.

Icom models compatible with the CP-25H power cord include:

Icom radios: IC-705, IC-V80E, ID-52E. Icom desktop chargers: BC-202, BC-210, BC-251. It is always recommended to consult your Icom device's user manual to confirm its specific power requirements.

No, the CP-25H cable is specifically designed for use with 12V DC cigarette lighter sockets. Using it with a 24V DC power source could damage the cable, the charging base, or the radio.

The CP-25H cable is designed with a specific connector and a 12V DC input voltage for Icom charging bases. It is not recommended to use it to power other devices, as this could lead to incompatibilities or damage.

The connectors of the CP-25H cable are designed to ensure a correct connection with compatible Icom cigarette lighter sockets and charging bases, respecting the required polarity. Simply plug it firmly into the appropriate ports.

To install the CP-25H cable, plug the end with the cigarette lighter plug into a 12V DC socket in your vehicle or boat. Then, connect the other end of the cable (the cylindrical connector) to the power input of your compatible Icom charging cradle.

No, the CP-25H cable is a standalone accessory designed to plug directly into a 12V DC cigarette lighter socket and an Icom-compatible charging base. No additional adapter is usually required.

Although the cord is designed for practical use, it is generally recommended to unplug accessories from the cigarette lighter sockets when the vehicle or boat is not used for extended periods, to prevent any potential battery drain.

To ensure a reliable and durable installation of your CP-25H cigarette lighter cable in a marine environment, it is recommended to follow these precautions:

Checking the cigarette lighter socket: Ensure that the cigarette lighter socket on your boat is clean, free of corrosion, and provides a stable 12V DC power supply. A dirty or faulty socket can lead to power cuts or improper charging.Firm connection: Insert the connector of the CP-25H cable firmly and fully into the cigarette lighter socket. A loose connection can cause power interruptions, overheating, or premature wear of the contacts, especially due to vibrations or boat movements.Cable routing: Position the cable to avoid excessive tension, twisting, pinching, or snagging risks. If possible, secure the cable with cable ties or fasteners so it does not hang freely and is not subjected to constant movement that could stress the connection.Environmental protection: Although the cable is designed for marine use, avoid prolonged direct exposure to spray, stagnant water, or repeated impacts that could damage the socket or cable over time.

No, the CP-25H cigarette lighter cable is not compatible with all Icom desktop chargers. It is specifically designed for certain models requiring 12V 1A power via a straight cylindrical plug.

Icom desktop chargers compatible with the CP-25H cable include:

BC-202BC-251BC-210Always check the power specifications and connector type required by your Icom charger to ensure proper compatibility.
