Description
Overview:
This 7 Pin Plastic Caravan Socket is a 12V towing electrical connector built to the ISO 1724 (12N) standard. It provides the vehicle-to-trailer interface for road‑lighting circuits, including indicators, tail, brake and rear fog lamps, ensuring reliable signalling and legal lighting on caravans and trailers. The moulded plastic body is practical for everyday towing use and resists typical road grime and spray. A spring‑hinged protective lid helps keep the contacts covered when not in use. The unit uses straightforward screw terminals for secure wiring with standard 7‑core trailer cable. Designed for towbar fitment on cars, vans, 4x4s and light commercial vehicles, it mates with the common 7‑pin 12N plug found across the UK and Europe. Sold singly.
