5-PIN bayonet Aspöck

What is a 5-PIN bayonet Aspöck?

Lights can be connected in many different ways these days. In addition to a Deutsch connector, you can also use a 5-PIN bayonet from Aspöck. This is a handy connector that is easy to connect. An Aspöck connector can be recognised by its round connection. In addition, the connector is known for its good quality and higher price. 5-PINbayonets from other brands are generally cheaper, but are also known for lower quality. Bayonets are also known for being quick to assemble and disassemble a light. This is because the cable can only fit into the light's connections and the vehicle's connection in one easy way. If you then tighten the swivel, the cable is firmly and properly mounted.

What do you recognise a left and right 5-PIN bayonet from Aspöck by?

A 5-PIN bayonet from Aspöck are available in two different versions, namely a left and right connection. The two connections are not always easy to tell apart. This is because they are usually black. When this is the case, you will have to look on the light to see which one is needed. In some situations, colours are added to tell them apart. In that case, the green bayonet is responsible for the right side of your vehicle and the yellow for the left. It is important to keep the left and right ones apart as they have different functions. On the left one of the five in for the fog light and on the right one of the five pins is for the reversing lights.

Rear light with fog and reversing lights

A standard rear light with Aspöck's 5-PINbayonet connection is equipped with a rear light, brake light, indicators and fog light. If you want to use fog lights and reversing lights, the 5-pin bayonet is not sufficient. In fact, this connection only provides five different types of lights. You will have to use an 8-PINbayonet in this case. This is because this connection comes standard with indicators, reversing lights, brake lights, rear lights and fog lights.
