Is there a difference between the two cigarette lighter sockets in a car?

[MacEmersyn]

In fact, both sockets are directly connected to the battery and have a voltage of 12V, but there are some differences in the sockets. For example, a cigarette lighter can heat its heating wire when plugged into the cigarette lighter socket, but it won't work when plugged into a 12V power socket. However, a dashcam plug can draw power from either the 12V power socket or the cigarette lighter socket. So, there is a slight difference in the socket types. Additionally, another difference is that the 12V power socket stops supplying power after the engine is turned off. But the cigarette lighter in some car models remains powered continuously. For instance, many Ford models are designed this way, such as the Focus, Fiesta, Kuga, Edge, etc., as well as older models like the Buick GL8.
