Thank you for reaching out to Grand Brass Lamp Parts!
This Diamond Knurled Dimmer Knob (SKU: DIKL100) is designed to fit 1/4-inch (0.250-inch) round or flat-sided dimmer shafts.
The 1/2-inch measurement in the product title refers to the knob's exterior dimensions, not the shaft opening.
Unfortunately, this knob will not accommodate your 12 mm (approximately 0.4724-inch) brass rod, as the rod is larger than the specified shaft opening.
