Quick tips and common questions
- Check the cable diameter first — this plug suits 7–11 mm cables. If you’re unsure, measure the outer sheath.
- Use the screw terminals to secure each conductor; a tiny smear of dielectric grease helps keep corrosion at bay.
- Compatibility question? As it conforms to ISO 1724 it should mate with standard 7‑pin sockets, but always double‑check wiring colours and pin functions before hooking up.
- Not supplied with batteries or extra parts — just the single 7‑pin plug ready to fit.
All told, the Maypole 12N 7‑pin aluminium plug is a practical, well‑made replacement that does exactly what you need: reliable connections, straightforward installation and decent weather resistance. No fuss — just the job done so your lights, indicators and earths behave properly on the road.
