Additional Notes

The 12961 is a Philips part number designating a miniature wedge bulb in the T10 form factor. It uses a W2.1x9.5d base, which is a wedge-style base that requires no locking mechanism, relying instead on tension from the socket to hold the bulb in place.
The T10 designation refers to the bulb's tubular shape, with the number indicating its width in eighths of an inch. This form factor is widely used in low-intensity interior and signal lighting applications across many vehicle makes.
The 12961 operates at 12 volts and 5 watts, placing it in the low-wattage range typical of interior cargo lighting, where heat output and power draw are minimal considerations.
The Nissan Pathfinder (2022-2023) specifies the 12961 bulb for the cargo box position. The W2.1x9.5d base is a standardized wedge fitting, meaning functionally equivalent bulbs from other manufacturers sharing the same base type and electrical ratings are generally interchangeable with the Philips 12961.
