Hi folks
Can anyone tell me what fits this 12v socket ?
I'ts too small for the standard cigarette lighter type plugs.
can it be changed or converted ?
Thanks from a cold severn beach.

Not a Hella plug is it?

I have one like this in our van. Its a 'hella' type socket and I have the adapters too that you can wire appliances into. I dont use it. I just fitted another standard 12v socket in the van. (cigarrette type)
I have a standard 12v plug in my spares box that has the red adaptor on the end which if you remove it turns it into a 'hella' plug that you can use in the 'hella' socket
If this makes sense

It's a DIN and easy to obtain the plug. IMO, better than many of the standard Ciggy plug/sockets for anything that draws large currents and the plug doesn't fall out so easily.
