For cigarette lighter socket repair, you typically need the female socket (2-828816) which connects to the socket body.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can this connector be used for a 15A circuit?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes. The 2.5mm series is rated for up to 10A per pin. For a 2-pin connector with both pins carrying current (power and ground), the effective circuit capacity is 10A – sufficient for standard 12V cigarette lighter loads (phone chargers, dashcams, etc.).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is this connector compatible with non-BMW vehicles?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: The 2-828815-1 \/ 2-828816 is a TE Connectivity standard part used across multiple OEMs. Cross-reference your OEM part number to confirm fitment on non-BMW applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePackage Contents\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e1 × 2-Pin Male Connector (2-828815-1) with wire\u003cbr\u003e1 × 2-Pin Female Connector (2-828816) with wire and terminal insert\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cable Parts Online","offers":[{"title":"2P \/ Female with Wire \/ China Mainland|Line Connector|10 Sets","offer_id":47844193009909,"sku":"14:200004891#Female with Wire;200001249:202408829#10 Sets;200007763:201336100;200497261:200000932;462:203053809","price":155.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2P \/ Female with Wire \/ China Mainland|Line Connector|3 Sets","offer_id":47844193042677,"sku":"14:200004891#Female with Wire;200001249:202408832#3 Sets;200007763:201336100;200497261:200000932;462:203053809","price":46.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2P \/ Female with Wire \/ China Mainland|Line Connector|1 Set","offer_id":47844193075445,"sku":"14:200004891#Female with Wire;200001249:202408830#1 Set;200007763:201336100;200497261:200000932;462:203053809","price":15.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2P \/ Male with Wire \/ China Mainland|Line Connector|10 Sets","offer_id":47844193108213,"sku":"14:200004890#Male with Wire;200001249:202408829#10 Sets;200007763:201336100;200497261:200000932;462:203053809","price":157.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2P \/ Male with Wire \/ China Mainland|Line Connector|3 Sets","offer_id":47844193140981,"sku":"14:200004890#Male with Wire;200001249:202408832#3 Sets;200007763:201336100;200497261:200000932;462:203053809","price":47.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2P \/ Male with Wire \/ China Mainland|Line Connector|1 Set","offer_id":47844193173749,"sku":"14:200004890#Male with Wire;200001249:202408830#1 Set;200007763:201336100;200497261:200000932;462:203053809","price":15.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2P \/ MaleFemale with Wire \/ China Mainland|Line Connector|10 Sets","offer_id":47844193206517,"sku":"14:200004889#MaleFemale with Wire;200001249:202408829#10 Sets;200007763:201336100;200497261:200000932;462:203053809","price":312.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2P \/ MaleFemale with Wire \/ China Mainland|Line Connector|3 Sets","offer_id":47844193239285,"sku":"14:200004889#MaleFemale with Wire;200001249:202408832#3 Sets;200007763:201336100;200497261:200000932;462:203053809","price":93.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2P \/ MaleFemale with Wire \/ China Mainland|Line Connector|1 Set","offer_id":47844193272053,"sku":"14:200004889#MaleFemale with Wire;200001249:202408830#1 Set;200007763:201336100;200497261:200000932;462:203053809","price":31.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0732\/3494\/0149\/files\/S8076b22d74f34f85adbf5df0b6a11b40R.webp?v=1773810048","url":"https:\/\/www.csldmcml.com\/products\/2-pin-2-828815-1-2-828816-bmw-cigarette-lighter-power-socket-connector","provider":"Cable Parts Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
