Replace your damaged 6-way round, trailer-end connector with this new one. Durable cable covering resists damage.by: Rex08/30/2023
The plug was missing the set screw and collar that compresses on the cable to prevent strain on the connectors when removing the plug. You can see the set screw clearly in the product picture.

I like this style of plug because it is molded and is important in keeping water out of the plug. It is conveint because it has the right colored wires. I have a water tight termination box with studs that it is wired into. Once I damaged the cable so I opened up the terminal box installed eyelet lugs on the spare pigtail, and installed it in a fiew minuets. I keep a spare on hand with lugs on it so if I have an accident I can quickly replace it. I also use these on some of my smaller tow behind equipment. that's why I like this size plug it isn't real bulky.

Built a new trailer to haul my bobcat mini track loader, all products purchased from Etrailer worked great, no problems
by: Brian S.09/06/2017
This is not a molded connector as advertised. It is a replacement 6way connector attached to 8ft of cable, and would cost less to build buying the parts separately! The Bargman #50-61-108 is a true molded connector if that's what you're looking for.
by: David D.07/19/2013
Product was much better than I expected. Top quality at a reasonable price and fast delivery too. I recommend etrailer to anybody looking for quality, helpful assistance, selection and availability of trailer parts and accessories.
Thanks etrailer!!
by: Jake Bise05/26/2017
Excellent customer service! Ordering the products on line was easy and the instruction videos and installation tips were very helpful. I received my order as promised and every thing I ordered was packaged and shipped professionally.
I will definitely return to etrailer for any future purchases. Also the quality of products was excellent and the price was a lot cheaper than anywhere else I shopped, even with shipping cost.
by: David m.02/13/2019
This is a great deal. It will replace a double cable with a molded cable with all wires in one. I am also adding a connector box , which will make a much neater connection rather than splicing the wires. Thanks for all the help.
by: Darrel D.09/17/2015
The range of products available at etrailer is great. I know I can find anything I need for trailers and towing on their site and at a competitive price. If the item I'm working on is complicated, they have YouTubes available showing how to install the product. I receive the items I order quickly and they are always complete. Their site makes it easy to tell what I need and what I'm getting.

- Diameter of Cable on 6-Way Molded Trailer Wire ConnectorThe outside diameter of the cable used on the # H20036 6-Way Molded Trailer Wire Connector is 1/2 of an inch.

Your existing bearings and grease seals should have reference numbers stamped on them, make sure the numbers on the existing parts match those of the replacements. You will also need electric brake assemblies, part # 23-47 for the...
view full answer... - Installing 7-Way Trailer Plug on Trailer with Electric BrakesI recommend the Hopkins 7-way molded trailer wire connector # H20044. It will measure 6-feet long and provide you the functions required for your electric brakes. If you prefer a longer connector, the same item is available in an 8 foot length as part # H20036 or an 11 foot length as part # HM20048. Please note that the color codes on these molded connectors are different from those usually found on a trailer. The wiring code is on each of the product pages. If you don't have some already,...

- Troubleshooting Gooseneck Trailer that Brakes Lock Up when Wiring is ConnectedSounds like you have a 6-way connector since you said gooseneck hitch and that is the most common connector used with them. What is going on is that there is two different ways the 6-ways can be wired. Only difference is that the 12 volt accessory circuit and the brake output circuit are switched. So when you use the wrong wiring setup you end up with the brakes locking up all the time. So basically you just have to switch the two circuits and it'll work fine again.
view full answer... - How to Make a 6-Way Round to 4-Way Round Trailer Connector AdapterThere isn't a 6-Way round to 4-Way round adapter that we carry but we have the parts to make one. First, a 6-Way is not very common, make sure it is a 6-Way, like # PK11609, and not a 7-Way blade style like # PK11893. If it is a 6-Way round then to make an adapter you would first need a 6-Way round trailer side connector, # PK11604. Then you would need a 4-Way round vehicle end connector, # PK11410. Then all you would need is about 1 foot of bonded 4-wire, # 16-4B-1. You would just need...
view full answer... - How to Rewire Trailer for 6 Way Connection with Separate Turn Signals and Brake LightsFirst you will want a new 6-way like the Hopkins 6-Way Molded Connector, # H20036. Installing the 6-way plug will be made easier by using a junction box such as # 38656. This box mounts to the trailer frame and serves as a connection point between the trailer's original wiring and the new 6-way. Also you will want some Deka jacketed 2 wire, 10 gauge, brake wire # 10-2-1 to run the brake output circuit from the junction box to the brake assemblies as well as some Deka 16-gauge bonded 4-wire...

- How to Make a 6-Way Male to 6-Way Male Trailer Connector AdapterWhat you are going to need is the part # H20036 and then wire the blunt cut wire end to the part # PK11604. We don't have the exact adapter you are looking for, but this should work well for you.
view full answer... - 6-Way Extension Harness To Connect Vehicles For Flat TowingWe do have the Hopkins Heavy-Duty Trailer Coiled Extension # HM47055 that is also 8' long when stretched like the Hopkins 6-Way Connector with Jacketed Cable # H20036 that you found. The coiled cable will help to prevent the excess cord from dragging on the ground. If you prefer the straight cable you will simply need to attach the other 6-Pole, Round Pin, Trailer Wiring Connector # PK11604 on the end of the Hopkins cable. I have included a video linked below that will walk you through...
view full answer... - How Long is the RoadMaster 7-Wire to 6-Wire Straight Cord KitThe RoadMaster 7-Wire to 6-Wire Straight Cord Kit, item # RM-98146-7, is 78 inches long, so that would not work for your application. You can put a cord together to get the length you need with a few parts. Start with the 6-Way Molded Trailer Wire Connector, part # H20036, which is 96 inches long. Then add the Pollak Black Plastic, 7-Pole Trailer Connector, part # PK12706. For the towed vehicle, you will also need the Pollak 6-Pole Round Pin Trailer Wiring Socket, part # PK11609, unless...
view full answer... - 7-Way Recommendation for Trailer to Install Reverse Light CircuitSince you have a 7-way on your 2007 Toyota Tundra the best solution is going to be to replace the connector on your trailer with a matching 7-way like part # H20046 and then run the yellow wire of the 7-way to the reverse lights. Whenever possible we try to avoid adapters as they end up being just another component that can potentially cause a problem. The simpler the approach to wiring the better.
view full answer... - Adapting 5 Flat on Trailer to 6 Round on TruckWe do not carry a 6 round to 5 flat adapter, so what you could do instead is cut off the 5 flat on your trailer and use the 6-Way Molded Trailer Wire Connector # H20036. You would need to use a circuit tester such as # PTW2992 in order to match the trailer's functions with that of the vehicle. I've added a link to a help article on wiring for you to take a look at.
view full answer... - Wire Gauge for Installing Electric BrakesWe recommend running 10 gauge wire # 10-2-1 for your brakes to connect to the Junction Box # 38656. You do not need to run the conductors down both sides of the trailer, it really will not make a difference so you can go ahead with your current plan. The 7-Way Molded Trailer Wire Connector # H20042 and Hopkins Engager Push-To-Test Trailer Breakaway Kit # 20400 will also work for you; I also recommend using Ring Terminals # 44-5310A to fasten your wires.

You are also going to want the 40-Amp MIDI Fuse Kit for Redarc In-Vehicle 25-Amp BCDC Battery Charger item # 331-FK40 to connect to your battery and the Universal Mounting Bracket for Redarc BCDC Battery Charger item # RED53FR for installation. This charger can use both your vehicle battery...

- Installation and Fitment of Hopkins 6 Pin Round Connector #H20036I went out to the warehouse and pulled a 6-Way Molded Trailer Wire Connector, # H20036, and used a couple of measuring tools designed to measure wiring sizes. All of the wires were 14 gauge. Yes, this will work as a replacement for the standard Hopkins 6 pin round. You will want to cut the wires at the back of the current 6-way connector on your trailer and wire in the Hopkins 6-Way Molded Connector, # H20036. It is important that the wires on the connector are connected to the trailer...
view full answer... - 7-Way Recommendation for Installing on Older Horse Trailer I have a great solution for you, but the part # 50-87-009 is the vehicle side trailer connector. It is a 7-way like you need though so you are on the right track. For your trailer you would want the part # H20036 which would go well with the part # 50-87-009 if you installed it on your tow vehicle. I attached a help article that has trailer wiring diagrams as well.
view full answer... - Replacing a 6-Way Trailer Connector on a Rockwood XL 1280 Pop Up TrailerIt sounds to me like the previous owner did not wire his home made trailer connector properly. If the trailer came with a 6-way connector, then that means there are two additional wires coming from the 6-way connector for the trailer brakes and, most likely, an auxiliary power source. If you are not worried about supplying power to the trailer brakes or auxiliary power source, then I would first recommend checking your local laws to see if brakes are required on your trailer. Some states...
view full answer... - Parts Needed to Completely Re-Wire 20-Foot Cattle Trailer with Light and ReflectorsThe cost to re-wire your 20-foot cattle trailer depends on the type and number of lights you choose to install. How many lights you legally need depends on the width of the trailer. A good place to start your project is the linked article on trailer lighting. This explains the lighting requirements based on the trailer's length, width and weight. We offer basic light kits like # TL29BK that are a cost-effective all-in-one option. If your 20-foot trailer is less than 80-inches wide you...
view full answer... - Towing a Trailer with a 5-Way Connector with a Vehicle with a 6-Way ConnectorI recommend replacing the boat trailer's 5-way with a 6-way because there aren't any adapters between those two Cut the 5-way off as close to the connector as you can and install part # PK11604 onto the wires. It'll plug right in to your 6-way on your RV. If you sometimes tow the boat with a different vehicle and need to keep its 5-way then you can add a 6-way and have two connectors on it. Use a junction box from the kit # HS381-9000 with part # H20036. You'll need to connect the 5-way...
view full answer... - Replacement 6-Way Round Trailer Side Connector for 1978 Reddale CamperIf I had to guess I would say the 2 wires together are for the running lights, one for each side of the trailer. The brake lights must be on the same circuits as the turn signals which is common for trailers. It sounds like you know what the basic lighting functions are for the wires that you have. You can always double check using a circuit tester such as # PTW2992 or power each wire and see what activates using a separate 12 volt battery. If you just want a 6-Way round that you can attach...
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Trailer Brakes that Lock Up When Connected to Tow VehicleWhat's going on is that you have the 12 volt accessory circuit and the brake output circuit either shorting out or wired backwards for the trailer wiring connector. If you are using a 6-way connector the common cause for this problem is that there are two ways a 6-way can be wired and the only difference is that the brake output and 12 volt power circuits are swapped.
view full answer... - Replacement 6-Way Blade Wiring and Rubber Grommet for Boat TrailerFor your application I recommend checking out the Hopkins 6-Way Connector # H20036. You'll want to make your connections with 16-14 Gauge # DW05744-5 and 12-10 Gauge # DW05745-5 heat shrink butt connectors since the heat shrink will protect your connections better than a standard butt connector. We do have a variety of grommets you can use to clean up the look of your trailer as well. Attached is a link to our selection of rubber grommets for you to filter through. If you let me know what...
view full answer... - Adapting a 7-Way on a 2003 Chevy Silverado to a 6-Way Round Trailer Connector on Big Tex TrailerIf your 2003 Chevy Silverado has a 7-Way connector I recommend keeping the 7-Way that you have # 54006-059, and using it to replace the 6-Way on the trailer. A 6-Way is not nearly as common as a 7-Way blade style connector. You just have to determine the functions of the wires on the trailer and wire them to the new 7-Way accordingly. The functions on the 7-Way should be as follows: White Wire = Ground Red Wire = Left Turn and Brake Brown Wire = Right Turn and Brake Green Wire = Tail...
view full answer... - Upgrading Trailer Battery on Horse Trailer from SLA1055 to a Standard 12V Battery SizeIt appears you are using a breakaway style battery for your trailer power. If this is correct, you will still need the breakaway battery separate by law, but you can absolutely add a larger battery (often deep cycle) to your trailer. To add that larger standard 12V trailer battery, you will need a location to house it. If you don't already have a location, then I recommend the NOCO Snap-Top Battery Box with Strap for Group 24 to Group 31 Batteries - Vented # 329-HM318BKS. Then you will...
