"Powerlet" 12v plugs in aus?

The Duke ST range has a 12v power adaptor, which I thought was pretty
cool - until I tried to plug something in it

It looks like a mini cigarette adaptor, and with a little bit of hunting
around, I found these guys:

http://www.powerletproducts.com/products.html

It appears Ducati and BMW use the same plug. It looks like "powerlet"
is their brand name, but I can't see any reference to the generic name
of the plug/connector.

Does anyone have any more information on this, and any idea who in Aus
(and maybe even Melb would carry anything like it?

Next stop moto-one I guess - they are a duke and BM dealer, but I doubt
they will have a selection like "powerlet" have.

Also, they tell me, some brand of tractor uses them.

From the Powerlet FAQ:

I reckon it's worth buying one of theirs just for that joke

I've since found out the "official" name of the plug is an DIN ISO 4165.
I'd still like to know where I could get one though

It's a bog-standard Hella product, check Caravan supplies/Auto supplies/
Burson Auto Parts/ Repco...

Without looking at the url you've posted (I'm reading offline), if the
plug is anything like the Red Baron has, it's a Hella 2 pole plug. Get
'em from SuperCheap, Autobarn, AutoPro and any number of other stores. I
like them, as they don't pull out as easily as cigarette lighter plugs.

It is a DIN standard connector. Made by various manufactures. You can
even get versoins that will plug into both the car type and this type.
Farrnel has them ... do a www.farnell.com And the tractor brand is John
Deer (sp?)

The main things about them ... they are smaller than the car type. They
dont rust like the car type.

 

Cheers guys! I've since found out the "official" name of the plug is a
DIN ISO 4165. (I posted that yesterday, but it isn't on my server?)

Yeah he mentioned that already. BMW.
