What is an 8-PIN's bayonet from Aspöck?
Definition
Nowadays, lighting can be connected in many different ways. In addition to the widely used Deutsch connector , an 8-PINbayonet connector from Aspöck can also be used. The 8-PINbayonet connector is easy to connect and convenient to use. The bayonet connector is often recognised by its round connection and its value for money. On average, its price and quality are higher than those of other brands. Furthermore, the bayonet connector is known for allowing lights to be fitted and removed quickly. This is because the cable can only be connected in one way. There is a small recess at the bottom of the round connection that fits precisely into the slot on the light’s connection. Once you have tightened the gland, the light is immediately connected and ready for use.
What do you recognise a left and right bayonet by?
Aspöck's 8-PINbayonet is available in two different versions, a left and a right connection. Both connections have the same colour namely black. So you can't tell the difference from the colour. The light itself shows which connection is needed. Although this does not matter with this connector. They can be used for both left and right.
Difference between 5 and 8-PIN's bayonet
The difference between a 5-PINbayonet and 8-PINbayonet connector is that a 5-PINcan only power the standard lighting. An 8-PINbayonet connector can power more lights simultaneously. Think, for example, of a small trailer. A 5-PINbayonet connector provides sufficient lighting in this case. However, if you also wish to power a fog light and reversing lights at the same time, the 5-PINwill not be suitable. In this case, you will need to connect an 8-PINbayonet connector.
