I would highly recommend this. It is heavy duty and quality built. A great value for the money

I hook and unhook my trailer about twice a day as I need my truck for hauling stone and dirt. I have put this through the ringer. Still good as new...Happy customer



by:

This is much better than the OEM on my New Holland Tractor asit is made of metal. It also cost less than the all plastic replacement from the dealership. etrailer was fast with delivery. Thank you.

This is a quality socket that is being used to support electrical connections between my RV and toad. Its held up beautifully & I continue to be very pleased with it.



by:

Excellent product! - have, over only a few years, steadily worked my way through progressively more durable trailer cable sockets. The last one was the Hopkins heavy-duty, or something to that effect. The plastic casing on it broke within three months. I'm really looking forward to putting these to the test - I'm a farrier - I pull a trailer every day; the traffic in this area means that I must rely on excellent contact between vehicle/trailer for turn / brake signals and functioning trailer brakes. Nothing less. These sockets are heavy, all-metal (zinc-coated - road salt shouldn't be a problem), with few / no seams. When the trailer end is plugged into the truck receiver - it's a nice tight fit, with no movement: it's locked in. There are only two drawbacks for the homeowner who is looking for the do-it-yourself package: if you are looking for a metal bracket that bolts underneath the truck bumper and holds this part - there isn't any. And no bolts, either. I don't know if they sell them for these - I didn't check. I simply manufactured my own. So far, I'm delighted with the product.



by:

I ordered the 7 pole socket (PK11720) and the rubber boot for it. (PK11761) Also a trailer end plug (PK11700) to fit into the socket. The items arrived on the exact estimated arrival date that I was given on the day of ordering.
Wiring the plug and the socket was very easy. Each terminal has a small screw that holds the end of the wire in place. It is a simple matter of threading the screw out, putting the wire in the hole, and then tightening the screw onto the wire.
The boot fits snugly onto the back of the socket.
I used these parts to repair the power cable assembly to a truck mounted forklift. The parts are exactly what was needed to replace what had been damaged. The quality is good and the prices are excellent. I will use etrailer.com in the future when I need related items. I am very pleased.

Quality product arrived on time. Will make future purchases with etrailer.com

Performed as expected to date.



by:

Bought to replace a 12 year old Pollak identical connector that I removed and could not re-use due to wire connections on the back being corroded (road salt area). The 12 year old connector worked fine except the flip up cover was a bit stiff. The 12 year old connector was also made in USA. The new connector I just received is made in China. From the price, I had hoped it was still made in USA. It seems that most of the time I am disappointed with the newer imported China versions of products once manufactured in USA. So my expectations for this product to have a long life are not very high.



by:

Well I have not installed it yet, but it is marked for each trailer wire by color, matching much earlier models. Did not come with mounting screws and nuts, but not a big deal.



by:

Again, high quality and a great brand. The wiring diagrams assisted me with understanding a difference between round pin and blade styles. I bought both with confidence for my F-350.



by:

I could not find this style or make trailer plug in my local auto parts store. I got tired of trying to find it so I ordered it on line. etrailer was convenient and less expensive than any other website.



by:

For me, and probably you, etrailer.com is a great place to shop/buy quality products. They give great follow up after ordering and fast shipping @ a fair price. I believe their service & pricing is unbeatable. I do shop for bargains & etrailer is @ the top of my list.



by:

The metal body and good quality pins and connections make this one the only one for a professional job.
Remember if you use dielectric grease and the rubber boot you'll never have corrosion in your connections . Dissimilar metals and weather are a bad combination.



by:

Excellent product! I bought this to replace the old, brittle, and broken plastic trailer connector on my 1973 aluminum camper. The plastic one stood out against the aluminum which I didn't like. So, I'm excited how this will blend in and look more natural. Besides aesthetics, this very sturdy and ruggedly built. It will clearly outlast the camper, no doubt. Will definitely buy again if I find myself with a different camper in the future.



by:

Great construction of the product, durable enough to withstand harsh working conditions and "operators" I am using that term lightly due to the mishaps that occur on a regular basis at my location.



by:

Etrailer web site was easy to work with and outstanding communication with your orders. Package was also delivered earlier than expected. I would rank etrailer as A+



by:

Very fast service AGAIN! Always my first choice when shopping for trailer parts.



by:

This trailer lighting socket is excellent quality, and super fast shipping



by:

Best 7 pole connector out there!!!!



by:

Exactly as displayed on website.



by:

No issues, all the hardware was correct and the item is still working.

  • Converting an Existing 9-pole Trailer Connection Plug to a 7-Way Connection
    We do not supply a 9-pole to a 7-blade connector converter, but you can definitely convert your existing trailer connector to a 7-way blade connecter that will work with your truck. To do this you will need a replacement 7-blade connector like # PK12706. You will then disassemble the existing trailer connector and install the 7-way blade style connector. When you take apart the 9-pole connection point the functions should be labeled, and you will want to match up functions to the 7-way...

    The Pollak 7-Pole, RV-Style Trailer Connector Socket # PK11898 is only rated to be used with 12 volt systems. A Pollak Heavy-Duty, 7-Pole, Round Pin Trailer Wiring Socket # PK11720 is rated for 6-28 volt applications and will allow you to use a 7 round pin style trailer connection. You can use the Pollak Heavy-Duty, 7-Pole, Round Pin, Trailer Wiring Connector # PK11700 on the trailer end. I have added an image below to show you where the wiring goes for the 7-pin connectors.

  • Brake Light Switch Wire For A 2015 Chevy Silverado 3500
    The wire for the cold side of the brake light switch on your 2015 Chevy Silverado 3500 isn't useable so you'll need to install the Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit # RM-751463 so that you can simulate the signal for your Brake Buddy Stealth # HM39530 installation.

  • Wiring Diagrams for 7-Way Round Trailer Connectors
    I attached a diagram that shows how most 7-way rounds like the # PK11720 that you referenced will get wired up. As long as you got yours wired up correctly and your trailer taillights and brakes are functioning correctly that's all that should matter, but occasionally there are some trailers that end up wired slightly different than others so the diagrams we offer don't match up perfectly. In those cases you have to wire up everything by function so that everything matches up properly....

  • Vehicle 4-way Flat Connector to Trailer 7-way Connector Adapter
    The adapter we offer for a vehicle with a 4-way flat to tow a trailer with a 7-way blade is a connector like # 30717. Using a connector like this will not provide use of the trailer brakes, 12V power source, or reverse lights. The 4-way connector only provides tail lights, brake lights, and left and right turn signals. The only way to gain use of these functions is to fully install the 7-way. With the # 30717 connector, the white wire will need to be grounded to provide function to the...

  • 7-Way Trailer Connector for 1996 Airstream Travel Trailer
    I do not have dependable reference material showing exactly which trailer connector a 1966 Airstream might've used, but the most simple solution in your case would be to remove the existing plug and replace it with one that's compatible with the much more common 7-way blade connector, which is what most manufacturers use as original equipment on later model trucks. You can simply disconnect the wires from the rear of your existing plug and install a plug like # PK12706. You'll need to...

  • How to Connect Lance Trailer 7-Way Wiring to Truck with 7-Pole Socket
    Lance sometimes uses their own special connector (for whatever reason) so since your truck has a Pollak 7-pole like part # PK11720, I recommend cutting off the OEM Lance connector and installing a more common 7-pole like the Pollak # PK11700 that will match what's on your truck.

  • Wire Color for Brake Switch Wire on 2003 Dodge Durango for Brake Controller Install
    When we had the chance to install a brake controller on a similar 2007 Dodge Durango to your 2006 model we probed the wiring at the brake switch with a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 and found that the wire color was white with a brown tracer so that is what I would look for. I attached a link to this install video for you to check out for more info as well.

  • Are there Round or Blade Pins in the 4-Way to 7-Way Trailer Connector Adapter # 37185
    The 4-Pole to 7 and 4-Pole adapter # 37185 uses blade style pins. I have included a picture for you to view. If you need to install a 7-Way round pin vehicle side connector you can use # PK11720. You will need to hardwire the wires to the back. You will also need rubber boot # PK11761 and mounting bracket # PK11771. Or you could install the 37185 and use an adapter to go from the 7-Way blade to a 7-Way round pin, # 47595.

  • Can Same 7-Way Connector Be Used for Towing Air Brake and Electric Brake Trailers
    Thanks for reaching out! The wiring on an air brake trailer and electric brake trailer are different so you'll need 2 separate 7-Ways for this application. The Pollak Heavy-Duty, 7-Pole, Round Pin Trailer Wiring Socket # PK11720 can be used for your air brake trailer while you'll want to use something like the Pollak 7-Pole, RV-Style Trailer Connector Socket # PK11898 and the Wiring Converter # RM-732 to combine the turn and brake signals for the electric brake trailer.

  • Recommended Female Semi-Trailer Connector
    Sounds like you are looking for the trailer end plug for your tester that will fit into semi-trailers. Most commercial trailers will use a 7-way heavy-duty pin setup like # PK11720. The female matching connector for this is the # PK11700 you were looking at. To wire this up to your tester I recommend a length of jacketed 7-wire # DW04914-1, this is sold per foot. You will also want to verify the pin functions of the trailer, many of the semi trailers are wired with separate wiring,...

  • Trailer Lights Not Working when Headlights are Turned On On a 2013 Ford Edge
    There is one sure way to determine if the factory trailer wiring harness on your 2013 Ford Edge is pushing back enough power. You will need a multimeter such as # PT89ZR. Have someone sit in the vehicle and go through the light functions while testing for amperage. You would also need to determine how many amps each light draws. Then with some simple math you can figure out if the trailer is drawing too much power to power the lights when the running lights are on. An easier way to do...

  • Converting a Semi 7-Way Trailer Connector to an RV 7-Way Trailer Connector
    There are a number of factors involved when converting a semi 7-way to an RV 7-way. Semis generally use a 7-pin round pin socket, similar to # PK11720. And RV style 7-way uses blades, like # PK12706. We do not offer any pre-made adapters to make this conversion that will carry all of the electrical functions required by the RV. Another thing to be aware of is fifth wheel trailers use a combined wiring system where the brake lights and turn signals are on circuit. Your semi connector...

Normally on a utility trailer like what you have green is right/turn, red is brake, white is ground, brown is taillight, yellow is left turn/stop, and black is 12 volt accessory. Also are the pins of the 7-way round or are they a flat blade? I attached a picture that has the three standard ways a 7-way is ran on a trailer. When in doubt...

  • Can I Tow a 5th Wheel Travel Trailer with a Semi Truck or 18-Wheeler
    The king pin dimensions can be the same between fifth wheel trailers and large commercial trailers. Both types of trailers often use a standard 2 inch king pin although semis sometimes have a 3-1/2 inch. As long as your truck fits a 2 inch king pin it can work. Semi trucks were not technically designed to tow camping style fifth wheel trailers, so there are several factors that you will want to take into consideration before attempting to tow.

This should be a white wire, and will only have power when the brake pedal is pressed. You can confirm this using a circuit tester like the # PTW2993. I have attached a video showing the # 90885 installation. If you jump to 20:15 in the video you will see where the wire is located.
