Looking for 12v plug and socket

[JohnD]

I have a chiller box that should plug into the "cigarette lighter" accessory socket in the boot.

The plug and cable end were damaged and I want to connect a new lead to the wire. I have one with a "lighter" plug

I'm trying to find a small 2-pin 12v 5A (or more) snap together plug and socket that I can easily open and fit my wires to. I might fit one to a working light on a wander lead, or something, as well.

Any suggestions?

My shoddy alternative is crimped insulated spade or bullet connectors with heat-shrink sheathing (all of which I already have)

Thanks

Yes, I've got an extension, but not a satisfactory joiner.

Not worth paying £20

I got some of these off ebay, but they arrived with short wires attached and I can't see any way to get them apart.

Obviously a crimper is required.

Those you listed lift the locking tab on the left hand one and pull apart.
They may be tight due to rhe rubber seal.

I mean, to take out the existing short wires and fit my own.

Why is the insulated spade connectors shoddy? A simple and effective solution.

It will be flopping around in the boot of the car, and every time I unplug it to carry at Margate or Glyndebourne.

Any connectors you buy will flop just as much. Spade/bullet connectors also take less space. Too much money to burn I think.
