Reliable 12N Road Lighting Connection


The Ring A0012 Socket is engineered to connect all standard 12N lighting functions, including tail lights, brake lights, indicators, and number plate lights, directly from your vehicle to your trailer or caravan. Its brass screw terminals provide solid, long-lasting connectivity and help maintain consistent power flow even in tough towing conditions.



Built-In Rear Fog Light Cut-Out Option


This model includes a built-in eighth pin specifically for rear fog light cut-out. This feature is essential when towing caravans or trailers that have their own fog lights, preventing your vehicle’s rear fogs from dazzling drivers behind. It keeps your lighting compliant with safety standards and enhances road safety in poor visibility conditions.

Constructed from high-grade plastic, the socket is designed to resist general wear and tear, UV exposure, and moisture ingress. It’s ideal for general use in moderate weather conditions and provides a cost-effective yet reliable solution for everyday towing needs.

The lightweight design makes it easy to mount, while still maintaining enough durability for long-term use on trailers, caravans, and horseboxes.



Easy Installation and Universal Fit


Installation is simple with standard mounting points and easy-to-access screw terminals. The socket is compatible with ISO 1724 wiring layouts, making it a universal fit for most UK trailers and towing vehicles equipped with 12N systems. Whether you're retrofitting or doing a new installation, this socket offers convenience and compliance in one compact unit.
