ISO 1185 is an international standard that specifies the requirements for 7-pin connectors of type 24 N. These connectors are used for the electrical connection between towing vehicles and trailers with a nominal voltage of 24 volts. The standard defines the dimensions, the assignment of the contacts (pins), and the technical requirements for these plugs and sockets. By following these specifications, the interchangeability and reliability of the electrical connections are ensured.
