Ground for pin 9 [a] ISO 11446:2004 specifies a 13-pole electrical connector between towing and towed vehicles with 12 volt electrical system . It was developed in 1987 by Erich Jaeger [ 1 ] to replace older 7-pin plugs.
The 5-pin has a design and pin layout that is identical to the 7-pin ISO 1724 connector with the exception for the lack of pin 1 (L) and pin 4 (R). This connector is sometimes present on vintage vehicles and the actual wiring may be completely different from what the standard states which means that measuring before connecting is a good idea.
Multicon [1] Feder and Multicon WeSt (Welt Standard) connectors are precursors to ISO 11446 in a design that is intended to be compatible with ISO 1724.This means that if a towing vehicle has an outlet of this type it should be able to connect a trailer with a standard 7-pin or 5-pin connector according to ISO 1724, provided that the trailer coupling follows the standard and that the trailer ...
Examples are one design made by MK which has a T-shaped earth pin, and the Walsall Gauge 13 A plug, which has each pin rotated 90°, the latter being in use on parts of the London Underground for 110 V AC supply, [88] [full citation needed] and also in some British Rail [clarification needed] offices for filtered computer supplies. Variant plugs
Shaver sockets may accept multiple two-pin plug types including Australian (Type I) and BS 4573. The isolation transformer often includes a 115 V output accepting two-pin US plugs (Type A). Shaver supply units must also be current limited, IEC 61558-2-5 specifies a minimum rating of 20 VA and maximum of 50 VA. [68]
The term plug is in general and technical use in all forms of English, common alternatives being power plug, [1] electric plug, [2] and (in the UK) plug top. [3] The normal technical term (in both British and International English) for an AC power socket is socket-outlet, [4] but in non-technical common use a number of other terms are used.
Plugs according to T11 and T21 are between 13 mm and 14.5 mm wide, those according to T13 and T23 between 14.5 mm and 20 mm wide. Connector according to T11 and T13 between 35 mm and 36 mm long. The respective angles are 45 degrees. Three-phase plugs have a dimension of 35.4 (± 0.7) × 30 (± 0.7) mm. Pin length of the connector
Flat 5-pin connector (Towing vehicle side) This contact is not as common, but is compatible with the 4-pin connector in the way that a towing vehicle with this connector can be connected to a trailer with the 4-pin flat plug. The extra connection is often used to block the surge brakes when reversing with the trailer. #
