1. A mobile charger apparatus formed as a cable, the cable comprising:
- a first connector at a source end of a mobile charger apparatus formed as a cable, the first connector having a standardized form factor for connection to a wiring harness that is connected to an electrical lead on a vehicle and wherein the first connector is formed as part of the cable and incorporated into a continuous over-molding of the cable;
a second connector at an output end of the charger apparatus cable for electrically connecting a mobile device to the mobile charger apparatus and wherein the second connector is formed as part of the cable and incorporated into the continuous over-molding of the cable;
a power conversion component incorporated into the continuous over-molding of the cable that electrically converts a first voltage received at the first connector to a second voltage and provides the second voltage to the second connector;
wherein the cable connecting the first connector at the source end and the second connector at the output end is constructed as a single, continuous, and electrically sealed apparatus, having continuous over-molding and without further interconnections open to the environment between the source connector and the output connector;
and wherein the cable is constructed from heat-resistant materials.

Abstract
The invention relates to a heat-resistant cable for charging a mobile device from a vehicle. In particular, the cable can be used to connect to a power source on a vehicle that does not have a standard cigarette lighter power source. The complete cable can be constructed as a single, continuous, and electrically sealed apparatus, without further interconnections open to the environment between the source connector and the output connector.
