AP-104-NT from MPD (Memory Protection Devices) is a cigarette lighter assembly intended for designs that need a dependable 12 V/automotive-style accessory power interface. Components in this category are commonly used in vehicle power distribution, portable equipment adapters, auxiliary power panels, retrofit automotive electronics, and industrial systems that rely on a standard lighter-socket connection format. Engineers typically select this type of part for straightforward integration, field familiarity, and compatibility with widely used in-vehicle power accessories. For product planning, AP-104-NT should be treated carefully because published lifecycle status is information not available in the provided data. Teams supporting new designs or long-service programs should confirm ongoing manufacturer support before locking it into production. RoHS compliance status is also information not available here, so compliance-sensitive programs should request the latest declaration or review the official datasheet and manufacturer documentation before release.
