What is the Wire Gauge Size for the Hopkins Endurance 5-Way Connector # HM47910
Question:
Your website says the wire size is 14 gauge in the Questions area under the products detail page. However it looked small, so I called Hopkins and they said it is 18 gauge. Can you double-check the wire size?

Expert Reply:
I called Hopkins to double check the wire gauge on the Hopkins Endurance 5-Way flat trailer connector, # HM47910, and # HM47900. I also pulled the wiring harnesses to see for myself which wire size the harness is constructed with.
Our technical representative at Hopkins checked their build data and said the wires for both harnesses are 16 gauge wires.
So with all of the discrepancies, I decided to pull some wire and produce a short video detailing the size of the wire for you, see link. In the video you will see that I have 10, 12, 14, 16, and 18 gauge wires and the wires that the wiring harnesses are made up with are 16 gauge.
