Description
Overview:
The 13-Pin Trailer Socket, Aluminium Body, 12V, Screw Terminals With Gasket (MPN 763 236) is a heavy-duty vehicle-side towing connector for modern 13-pin wiring systems. It uses a robust aluminium housing to withstand workshop handling and road spray, with brass screw-terminal contacts to make secure, serviceable connections to the vehicle loom. A rear sealing gasket is supplied to help protect the cable entry and mounting face against dirt and moisture ingress. This socket is intended for 12V towing electrics found on trailers, caravans, horseboxes, plant transporters and utility trailers, providing a reliable interface for road lighting and auxiliary circuits. Built to the common European 13-pin format used across the UK and EU, it integrates cleanly with standard towbar brackets and wiring kits in professional fleet, hire and commercial applications.
