Specifications and fitment notes
Voltage: 12V. Material: brass contacts with plastic insulator and housing. Colour: black. Package weight: approx. 96 g. Pack contains one trailer adapter. Some vehicles and trailers use different socket shapes or pin assignments, so always double‑check fitment before buying. If you’re unsure, compare the pin layout with the socket on your vehicle or trailer — it saves a wasted trip back.
Practical tip: give the connector a quick wipe if it gets muddy and check the pins for corrosion if the trailer sits unused for months. A splash of electrical contact cleaner will sort light corrosion. No faffing with complicated adapters — this one’s designed to be straightforward and dependable.
