It reacts in less than a picosecond to suppress transient voltages up to 5,000 Watts, safeguarding your car or truck’s electronics from lightning, solar flares, and EMP events. With zero standby power draw and easy installation, it offers continuous protection—even when your vehicle is off—making it an essential peace-of-mind upgrade for modern drivers. ## Description Buy Faraday Defense T.R.A.P. EMP Vehicle Protection. 12 Volt DC for Car and Truck. Lightning, Solar Flare and Surge Protection. Fits into 12V Receptacle. Easy Installation.: Power Inverters - desertcart.com ✓ FREE DELIVERY possible on eligible purchases ## Features - Easy Installation- It is extremely easy to install by simply plugging it into the 12-Volt auxiliary receptacle (cigarette lighter). - The T.R.A.P. is extremely effective against an EMP! The danger to vehicles from an EMP is the high voltage that is introduced on the cables from E1 and E2. Those transient voltages are extremely brief in time (from nanoseconds to microseconds) and can therefore be suppressed using small devices. - The T.R.A.P. has a turn-on time of < 1 picosecond, and can suppress up to 5,000 Watts. This means your T.R.A.P. will respond quickly to the EMP, preventing your vehicle from damage. - Continues to protect when the vehicle is unpowered- The T.R.A.P. continues to act as a high-frequency energy sink even when the vehicle is unpowered. - The T.R.A.P. will not drain your battery while your vehicle is off. The T.R.A.P. draws essentially zero current except when there is a significant overvoltage. - Putting energy “traps” at multiple points in your vehicle does a better job shunting away the unwanted energy. Putting a T.R.A.P. in each auxiliary power outlet will provide even more protection. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0BLCTJMJ4 | | Best Sellers Rank | #206,223 in Automotive ( See Top 100 in Automotive ) #318 in Power Inverters | | Brand | Faraday Defense | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (115) | | Date First Available | November 3, 2022 | | Item Weight | 1 ounces | | Item model number | FD602 | | Manufacturer | Faraday Defense | | Manufacturer Part Number | FD602 | | Model | TRAP | | Product Dimensions | 3 x 1 x 1 inches | ## Images ![T.R.A.P.

Also, we looked into them for possible switching to protect from the E3 of an EMP or CME but didn’t find them to be good fits for that application either. **Q: Physical measure what kp level trips this device g 3 strong power systems: voltage corrections may be required, false alarms triggered on some?** A: There was no trip voltage given, but it will handle 5KVP surges in a few nanoseconds. The item is static sensitive and comes in a static protection bag... No voltage adjustments are possible... it's an all or nothing response and I'm not sure if it is possible to overwhelm the device with an exceptionally strong G3 event. **Q: GPS blocked ?** A: This will only take care of transient energy that couples into the vehicle during an EMP. It is not designed to block RF signals. **Q: Will this protect my vehicle better than having it parked in a metal gabage can?** A: No. The most effective way to protect an item is with metal as that would protect from any transient energy coupling into the item in the first place. The TRAP is designed to 'soak up' the transient energy in the case it was not protected under metal. ## Frequently Bought Together - Faraday Defense T.R.A.P.
