A backup camera for $50!!!!!!!!!!!

[PILOON]

Hello, Can someone tell me the correct name for the male plug I need to fit the socket pictured below? The socket is in my NH T4.75 within 2 feet of where I want to mount my backup camera in the rear window. The tractor manual just calls it a "single-pole electrical connector 8A". It is smaller than a cigarette lighter socket and measures 1/2" diameter. When I place my electrical meter positive lead to the center bottom and negative lead to ground I get 12V with the ignition key off. I have typed "single-pole electrical connector 8A" into Google and get nothing that looks similar and I need to find a male part that fits this socket. Thanks....

Why don't you simply cut it away and install something that you can get as a pair.
Since it as always hot a fuse or breaker should be included.

Whatever connector it is it will be pricier than the replacement pair.
On the other hand from the pic It almost looks like the type used to push onto the stud of a cigar lighter.

Could always contact your dealer and see if they have a pig tail. If they do and it's reasonable ok, but the idea of removing it and installing a standard 12 volt outlet.

I will install something else if necessary. I am just wondering what I am missing here as to the name. I find it hard to believe NH is installing these plugs on some of their cabbed tractors if they are not common parts. If I don't get any replies by tomorrow I'll phone the dealership. Near the seat I have a cigarette lighter, the receptacle mentioned above, a 4 prong receptacle, a six prong receptacle and on the back a 7 pin receptacle for trailer brakes and lights. There are plenty of electrical receptacles near the rear window and the one I am trying to find a name for would be the most convenient for me to use.

What is the inner diameter of the metal sleeve? If its 5.5mm, a standard 12v power plug (like for a router or a security camera) probably fits into it.

Inner diameter appears to be 1/2" as far as I can tell....

For anyone looking for magnets check out the dump, landfill or whatever for old stereo speakers. Just remove the magnet from the speaker. The bigger the speaker, the bigger the magnet.

I had not thought of that. I ordered 2 of these magnets today. They are 1 3/4" diameter and have a pull force of 125 lbs. They claim to have 10x the pull force of the older ceramic magnets. They should hold my camera in place. They are a bit expensive at $13.52 each, but are the size I think I need, and have the 1/4" threaded stud built in already.

Hard drives have super strong magnets.

For Canadiens wanting similar magnets, Summit carries a nice assortment and at very nice prices.

Ah, now that you mention that, someone ran into one of those on here a while back. It appears to be a ISO 4165 socket. Also known as a DIN Hella, Powerlet or a BMW/Euro-Style plug. Common on European motorcycles where there isnt space for a full on cigarette lighter socket.
