Durable nylon housing protects the connector against road impact and weather. Conforms to ISO 1724 and CE/RoHS standards for European and UK vehicle compatibility.
Secure electrical contact – with pure copper brass contact pins and waterproof design
Copper brass pins conduct reliably and resist corrosion, while a waterproof seal limits moisture ingress at the mating face. The combination reduces intermittent connections caused by dirt and damp.
A secure, low-resistance link keeps trailer lights and indicators functioning consistently, reducing the chance of roadside faults and failed safety checks.
Robust exterior – with high-strength nylon housing
High-strength nylon offers impact resistance and flexibility under vibration, helping the socket survive knocks and heavy use on rough roads. The housing is engineered to resist cracking in cold or wet conditions.
Long-lasting mechanical protection means fewer replacements and a reliable towball area, even for frequent towing or rural routes with rough surfaces.
Straightforward fit and compatibility – thanks to ISO 1724 conformity and mounting gasket kit
Conforming to ISO 1724 ensures pin layout and electrical rules match common European 7-pin towing standards. A supplied mounting rubber gasket helps seal the socket to the towbar mounting plate.
