12 volt socket

[Morganic]

My T@B has a 12 volt outlet socket as well as the usual 230v socket. However, the a cigar lighter plug will not fit as the aperture of the socket is much smaller. Is this a a continental quirk and can anyone advise where I might get a suitable plug from?

I believe that you will need a 12 volt DIN plug and not the cigar lighter type.

See here for examples:

Hi Morganic,

These mini connectors are used on a number of German designed caravans, and they are an international standard plug - DIN ISO 4165

Electronics stores, like Farnell, Maplin, etc., stock different versions of these connectors - fused, un-fused, different cable entry, etc.

We bought a couple of Farnell plugs (code 658674) - about

You can get a cigar plug that fits both your type and the car cigar socket

Motor World sell them

They have your smaller fitting with a sleeve over that is used for the cigar socket or left off for your type

Maplins also have the same type
