Description
Overview:
The Trailer Socket Conversion Adaptor 7 pin to 13 pin is a compact connector that links a 7‐pin 12N vehicle socket to a 13‐pin trailer or caravan plug. Built with a tough moulded plastic body and metal terminals, it provides a reliable electrical bridge for standard 12V towing electrics. The 13‐pin end features a protective cap to help keep out dirt and moisture, making it suitable for regular outdoor use. This adaptor is useful for cars, vans, 4x4s and light commercial vehicles that need to tow newer 13‐pin trailers, caravans, plant or utility trailers. It is a simple plug-in solution that avoids rewiring, helping you stay visible and road legal. Manufacturer Part Number (MPN): 953 600.
