DC Connector - Airline In-seat Power Supply System

Airline In-seat Power Supply System

Two different airline in-seat power supply system (ISPSS) standards for DC power have been used in the past. American Airlines has in the past used an automotive cigar lighter socket. Most other airlines that provide DC power use the EmPower system, which has a 4-pin Hypertronics' D-series connector smaller in diameter and overall size than a cigar lighter plug. It uses 15 volts maximum 5 amperes.

Famous quotes containing the words airline, power, supply and/or system:

    My job as a reservationist was very routine, computerized ... I had no free will. I was just part of that stupid computer.
    Beryl Simpson, U.S. employment counselor; former airline reservationist. As quoted in Working, book 2, by Studs Terkel (1973)

    We who didn’t inherit political power nor are made to acquire riches like nothing better than that which expands and solidifies the power of the spirit.
    Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

    Municipal laws are a supply to the wisdom of each individual; and, at the same time, by restraining the natural liberty of men, make private interest submit to the interest of the public.
    David Hume (1711–1776)

    Social and scientific progress are assured, sir, once our great system of postpossession payments is in operation, not the installment plan, no sir, but a system of small postpossession payments that clinch the investment. No possible rational human wish unfulfilled. A man with a salary of fifty dollars a week can start payments on a Rolls-Royce, the Waldorf-Astoria, or a troupe of trained seals if he so desires.
    John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
