I made my own 7 pin std trailer socket to 12 pin nato socket lead, using a surplus socket I found on a well known auction site.
The socket with a harness is PRC3222, do a search for 12 pin nato socket. There is also a part number for the socket without the harness , I will have to look at mine to find the part number if present on it. I’ve never seen female pins for sale separately. And yes the D&DE one is a thing of beauty but very expensive to start with and even more expensive now. |

Many thanks @Ianh
The socket and loom seems to be at or over £100 delivered (and seemingly not always in stock either), so by the time I've bought a decent 7 pin plug and messed around with it, it's still head-scratchingly expensive. Probably what the D&DE people are very well aware of. There is another loom with connectors, ready made up from Servicepower NS, but that's similar money to the D&DE one, so on that front D&DE wins. That's a very generous Father Christmas present and that's a long way off! In my case, I was just hoping to find the pins as I appear to have a much lower-cost solution. They look a bit like bullet connectors (no pun intended) from what i've seen. |

As an update, in case anyone is looking for a new socket, not just pins . It’s called a “12P/24V socket with socket contacts (VG 96923 A-12S / MS75021-2)” you need to use the full part number, either VG 96923 A-12S or MS75021-2 in a search to get the socket not the plug. However finding a cheap one is the challenge.

Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge The photo of the connector and pins is poor resolution, so i couldn't zoom in and couldn't find it on the actual website either. The various pins pictured come up on google when "nato wiring pins" is put in the search bar, but I could end up trying loads of different ones without success. Are the wires on the back of the Nato socket moulded / sealed in I wonder? |

Not sealed but need de pinning tools to remove from moulding and tools to crimp new pins. It adds up quickly if you don’t know anyone working in military or aerospace wiring. 1995 Defender 110 CSW 1971 SIIA Lightweight |
