Today we're going to be reviewing part #PK11771. This is the Pollak bracket for single pole trailer wiring socket, part #PK11851. This socket bracket is going to provide an easy mounting option for your single pole connector socket. The bracket includes a machined large hole right here for the socket to fit in. It's also going to have many other machine holes that are going to allow the bracket to attach to your vehicle frame, and they are going to assist in mounting the socket to the actual bracket. Now it's going to work with a variety of Pollack sockets such as part #PK11404, PK11609, PK11720, PK12720 and PK12801.
This is made from a nice steel construction so it's strong and durable. The diameter of this large hole here in the center take a measurement of that real quick. That's going to give us a measurement of 2 inches. The smaller holes here are going to have a diameter of 1/4 inch. These holes right here are going to give us a measurement of 5/8 inch x looks to be about 5/16 of an inch. So these are going to measure 5/8 x 5/16 and then the measurement that we have center-on-center the distance between those 2 holes is going to measure 2-1/4 of an inch.
Taking a measurement of the overall width is going to be about 3-5/8 of an inch. Then measuring in this direction, it looks like it's going to be around 3 inches. That's going to do it for our review of part #PK11771. This is the Pollak bracket for the single pole trailer wiring socket part #PK11851 but it also works with a variety of other Pollak sockets as well. .

This socket bracket provides an easy mounting option for your single-pole connector socket. Bracket includes machined holes for mounting the bracket to your vehicle frame and mounting the socket to the bracket.
Had everything I needed to wire my Jeep Grand Cherokee. YouTube videos exist to help. There some surprisingly difficult places to route the wires along the frame.
While the product is of good quality, it has one flaw. There is not sufficient space between the opening for the connector and the top where it needs to fasten to the vehicle. It might be suitable for some small connectors, but it is definitely not suited for ones like the Buyer's Products 2-Way Die-Cast Zinc Trailer Connnector - Truck Side - Vertical Pin Arrangement. I had purchased it because I did not see any other mounting brackets. I am in the process of making a spacer to provide more room at the top for the connector's door to open.
Other than that, it looks great and should hold up well. Just be aware of the limited room at the top.
Will not work with Pollak 5-Pole, Round Pin Trailer Wiring Socket, Concealed Terminals - Chrome - Vehicle End
I had trouble determining from the website if this bracket fit my socket. It does. It's a universal, I reall. I still had a bit of trouble associating it with my socket. I received it today and pleased I bought it.
my name is scott from tn. i bought 3 sets of the pollak #11-402ep 4-way sockets.and.the 11-402-ep 4-way or 4 wire plugs with the pollak brackets for single pole trailer wiring socket (pk11851)-pk11771 part number .to get rid of three bad problems. one was the flat wire on my 18.5 ft bass boat. the factory wire was 20 inchs short so i had to find my extending that was always lost. by my friends and ect. i also bouht 14 foot of wire and the it took my abought 10 mins. to complemt.plus my trailers. the pollak brackets was so easy to mount to my ford truck bumper.and my other veh. plus the sockets and plugs. no problem looking for xts, and no wire coming unhook.the dielectric silicone compound made all joints waterproof and a good seal and many thanks to the workers at e trailer if you have a problem with trailer connects or need supply. it took less than 4 bussiness days to get my order. and thank you for the supplies.!!!!!! sorry for no pictures because their always being used.

A handy bracket that is still in-use, though I wish it was a bit more rigid or made from heavier gauge steel, as it tends to bend a bit too easily.
Bracket was excellent quality and came quicker than expected. Item was exactly as described. It was packaged and shipped well. trailer.com worked their magic with shipping of this item. Great customer service!
This works but I wish it were just a little bit stiffer at the bend. I shove a 7 pin plug into it and it requires a little finesse. If the plug isn't perfectly aligned and you attempt to push the plug in then the bracket will tend to deflect a little bit. But it still works and nothing is wrong with it - so it's a "keeper".
Functions as advertised. Nothing more to say. I always appreciate the speedy service and delivery. Your products are top notch and prices reasonable.

Still works great.
Works Great to mount the trailer connector to the back of the vehicle. Looks nice and fits perfectly. We will order more in the future.
I just got home and my 4 mounting brackets were delivered on schedule. Now I can put my project together. Have been looking all over for these brackets, so glad that I found them on your website. Thanks for keeping me posted on my shipment and look forward to ordering other stuff from you.
good service
These guys rock. We needed a 2 pin trailer connector with bracket asap. etrailer had the items in stock and got it shipped to me in record time. Thanks again!!!
Arrived on time, was able to track it while in shipment
Connector fits but not a perfect fit and leaves the back exposed to wheel splash. Need to coat the back of the connector with RTV. Still works good and beats trying to make one.
This stamped steel mounting bracket is very heavy duty. It fits the connector perfectly and has flexibility in mounting to the vehicle.
High quality part that fit my needs perfectly. Shipped in a timely manner. Would purchase from E Trailer in future. Great place to do business.

This bracket is amazing. It gets along with the plug and the bumper. The wind doesn't bother it and it doesn't complain about rain. Do not hesitate to hire his brother. You won't be disappointed...
Have not used it but it looks like it will work to mount my 7 way pin plug on my truck.
Easy to install, used the same holes that held 4 pin plug!
Easy installation and the advice I received from Adam was spot on.
The product arrived in a reasonable amount of time.
Also the item is as described.
Thank You.
Great product. Exactly what I needed
