Installation Notes

This is a connector component intended for installation on a suitable DC power cable. Proper wiring and polarity are important. Use wire of an appropriate gauge for the expected current and cable length, and make sure all electrical connections are properly secured and insulated.

Please Check Connector Compatibility

DIN 4165 / Hella / Merit connectors are smaller than the standard automotive cigarette-lighter plug and socket. They should not be confused with a conventional full-size cigarette-lighter socket.
