T.R.A.P. EMP Vehicle Protection
Protect your vehicle with the T.R.A.P. This device protects your vehicle from EMP damage and other transients. Compatible with cars, trucks, motorcycles, boats, RVs, and other vehicles, the T.R.A.P. is designed to guard against fast transients from many different sources including load changes (such as your A/C kicking on and off), conducted transients from a charging port, radiated energy from a nearby lightning strike, or an overhead electromagnetic pulse (EMP).
Simply plug the device into your vehicle's 12-Volt auxiliary receptacle (cigarette lighter) for it to start working on your vehicle. This device is hand assembled in the US and constructed from the highest quality materials.

Frequently Asked Questions
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| How can the T.R.A.P.™ be effective against an EMP when it's so small? | The danger to vehicles from an EMP is the high voltage introduced on cables from E1 and E2. These transient voltages are extremely brief and can be suppressed using small devices. This differs from homes, which would also experience a powerful E1 current surge from the power grid. |
| Is it ok to use multiple T.R.A.P.s in one vehicle? | Yes, using multiple T.R.A.P.s provides better protection. Maximum protection is achieved by using a T.R.A.P.™ in every auxiliary power outlet, as well as using the T.R.A.P.™-B across the vehicle's battery. |
| Does a T.R.A.P.™ protect a vehicle even when the vehicle is powered off? | Yes, the T.R.A.P.™ provides transient protection even with the ignition switch turned off, as interconnected cable assemblies can still receive damaging energy. |
| Will a T.R.A.P.™ or T.R.A.P.™-B drain my battery? | No, T.R.A.P.™ products draw essentially zero current except when there is a significant overvoltage, so they won't drain your battery. |
