The '6-PIN bayonet connection' is also called a '6-pin plug'. You will find this connection mainly on Fristom lights. The connector looks very much like the much used Aspöck variant with 5-PINs or 7-PINs. However, within this connector only six poles are used. Bayonet connectors are the waterproof connections between cables and (LED) lights. By means of a twist system which is processed on the outside of the connector, you can fix the connection pins into each other. Because by doing so you ensure a current-carrying connection. The 6-pole connector is used relatively little. For example, the connector cannot be used on boat trailers.
