The EMP Vehicle Protection Kit uses three products to secure your car: T.R.A.P. OBD2, T.R.A.P.-Bs, and High-saturation Car Ferrites.
*The second version of this setup 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.™ OBD2 Edition is a transient protection device for your vehicle’s OBD2 port.
With a 5,000-watt transient voltage suppression device and <1 picosecond turn-on time, it safeguards against electrical transients.
This ensures engine control modules remain operational during voltage spikes. It offers defense where standard fuses often fail.
The T.R.A.P.™-B contains a 5,000-watt transient voltage suppression device easily connected across battery terminals.
It provides a robust secondary layer of defense, capturing transients at the power source. Installation is straightforward for most owners.
High-saturation ferrites can be installed on the battery wires to reduce high-frequency current transients. These act as a final barrier.
They suppress spikes that bypass other measures. These specialized clamps complement active suppression devices for total coverage.
These units work in tandem to provide multi-stage conditioning of your automotive electrical system during high-stress events.
How can the T.R.A.P.™ be effective against an EMP when it’s so small?
Danger from an EMP comes from high voltage on cables. Small devices can suppress these brief transients.
Because EMP pulses are fast, speed is more critical than size. Tiny components react in picoseconds to stop energy surges.
Quick response times ensure that the surge is shunted before it reaches sensitive computerized engine components.
Energy suppression happens at the molecular level, allowing these compact modules to handle massive spikes without failure.
Can you use more than one T.R.A.P.™ in a vehicle?
Absolutely. Multiple traps shunt away energy better. Maximum results come from using this EMP Vehicle Protection Kit in every port.
Additional units create multiple pathways for diverted energy. This redundancy increases overall vehicle survivability.
Layering these devices across different points of the electrical bus helps dissipate extreme transients more efficiently.
This approach creates a networked defense system. Each component supports the others, ensuring no single point of failure exists.
Does a T.R.A.P.™ protect a vehicle when the vehicle is powered off?
Yes. T.R.A.P. continues to act as an energy sink. It protects unpowered vehicles from cable assembly surges.
Wiring pick up energy while the ignition is off. Permanent installation ensures protection whether driving or parked long-term.
Will a T.R.A.P.™ or T.R.A.P.™-B drain my battery?
These products draw zero current unless an overvoltage occurs. You can leave them connected indefinitely without worry.
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. This allows for a custom fit for various battery bolt sizes.
The process is simple and requires only basic hand tools. This flexibility ensures compatibility with nearly any modern vehicle battery.
How long will they last?
Each EMP Vehicle Protection Kit component withstands transients and nuclear EMPs without damage. Internal components are durable.
Units feature long shelf lives and endure harsh engine vibration. They are built to last the entire engine life of your vehicle.
Are these devices good quality?
T.R.A.P. products are hand assembled in the US. Each unit undergoes rigorous testing to ensure reliability and performance.
Maximizing Performance with Your EMP Vehicle Protection Kit
T.R.A.P.™- The plug uses nickel-plated contacts and a Bakelite body. It is rated for suppression up to 5,000 Watts.
T.R.A.P.™-B– The module is IP68 rated. It uses automotive-grade wire and marine-grade heatshrink. The design survives salt and grime.
What are high-saturation ferrites?
These clamp around wires to reduce current transients. They allow more current before saturating than standard models.
They are optimized for high-demand wiring to provide filtration. They help stabilize electrical systems against interference.
They provide an essential passive barrier against magnetic field induction on long wire runs within the engine bay.
These ferrites effectively choke out noise and unwanted high-frequency energy. This prevents induction from reaching sensitive electronic nodes.
