Vehicles are protected using three products: T.R.A.P. OBD2, T.R.A.P.-Bs, and High-saturation Car Ferrites

*The EMP Vehicle Protection Kit 2 uses an OBD2 plug instead of the Auxillary (cigarette lighter) plug.

The T.R.A.P.™ OBD2 Transient Reducing Auxiliary Plug The T.R.A.P.™ (Transient Reducing Auxiliary Plug) OBD2 Edition is the ultimate transient protection device for your vehicle’s OBD2 port. With a powerful 5,000-watt transient voltage suppression device boasting a lightning-fast <1 picosecond turn-on time, the T.R.A.P.™ safeguards your vehicle against electrical transients with unmatched efficiency.

The T.R.A.P.™-B contains the same 5,000-watt transient voltage suppression device in a form that can be easily connected across a vehicle’s battery terminals.

High-saturation ferrites can be installed on the battery wires to reduce high-frequency current transients.

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 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. This is distinctly different than the case with homes, which would also experience a powerful E1 current surge from the power grid.

Can you use more than one T.R.A.P.™ in a vehicle?
Absolutely. Putting energy “traps” at multiple points in your vehicle helps to better shunt away the unwanted energy. 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 when the vehicle is powered off?
The T.R.A.P.™ provides transient protection even with the ignition switch turned off because interconnected cable assemblies can still receive damaging energy. The T.R.A.P.™ continues to act as a high-frequency energy sink when the vehicle is unpowered.

Will a T.R.A.P.™ or T.R.A.P.™-B drain my battery?
T.R.A.P.™ products draw essentially zero current except when there is a significant overvoltage, so they will not drain your battery.

How do I change out the ring terminals on the T.R.A.P.-B?
Below is a video showing how to swap the ring terminals on the T.R.A.P.-B.

How long will they last?
The T.R.A.P.™ and T.R.A.P.™-B devices are designed to withstand any normal vehicle transient as well as a nuclear-generated EMP without damage.

Are these devices good quality?
The T.R.A.P.™ and T.R.A.P.™-B devices are hand assembled in the US and constructed from the highest quality materials (see below).

T.R.A.P.™- The plug is made with bronze, nickel-plated negative contacts, gold-plated center contact, and Bakelite body. It is rated for 25 Amps continuous, much more than is needed for voltage transients. The transient voltage suppression component is ultra high reliability (AEC Q101 qualified), has a turn-on time of < 1 picosecond, and can suppress up to 5,000 Watts!

T.R.A.P.™-B– The weatherproof module is IP68 rated with integrated rubber o-rings, automotive-grade wire, copper terminals, and marine-grade heatshrink. It contains the same AEC Q101 qualified transient suppression device as the T.R.A.P.™ but in a more convenient form factor for use across the battery.

What are high-saturation ferrites?
Ferrites are devices that clamp around power wires to reduce high-frequency current transients. Most ferrites will saturate and stop providing protection when more than a couple of amps flow through the wires. The custom-made, high-saturation, auto ferrites sold here are modified to allow significantly more current through the part before saturating. Watch the video below to better understand their function and installation.

Hoplite Armor LLC stands behind the reliability and quality of the products we sell. In the unfortunate event that you are shot while wearing products purchased from us, we will replace damaged equipment at no cost to you at any time, as long as a valid police report is provided. This covers all of our body armor products, which includes Body Armor, Plate Carriers, Pouches/Accessories and Apparel. 

Proof of purchase required, only applies to original purchaser, and product must be purchased from Hoplite Armor LLC to qualify. Police report or internal report (if worn in the line of duty) is required as proof of the incident. Picture of the label and serial number is required and must match the serial number associated with the order in our system. Only the damaged product(s) will be replaced. We will replace it with the same product, if unavailable we may replace it with a similar product or reserve the right to issue store credit equal to the original purchase price. 

Warranty only applies to legitimate instances of self defense. Does not cover intentional damage or damage resulting from gross negligence.
