I’m trying to find a replacement 12 V, 2-pin plug socket for my Campingaz TE 28 LC Cooler. The socket is 22 mm wide x 15 mm deep x 13 mm high.

I can find plenty of power cords but no sockets to plug into. What type of socket is this, so I can look for a replacement?

The broken socket looks like this -

The pin measurements are 11 mm in the center and 3 mm in diameter.

Pictures of the cord ends are below -

    \$\begingroup\$ Looks similar to a IEC320-C8, if so the pins should be 8.6 mm (centers). \$\endgroup\$ Commented Dec 19, 2021 at 0:46

    \$\begingroup\$ Just to be clear, the IEC320-C8 is an AC connector. OP's connector is a DC connector and is not an IEC320-C8. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Dec 24, 2021 at 18:17

Since it's 12 volt and you have access to both socket and plug you could in fact just replace both with another type receptacle and plug such as those used on solar panels, etc.
