The 5-wire design of this kit is perfect for newer boat trailers with hydraulic brakes. Easy-pull connector housings make disconnecting a snap. They include built-in mounting holes and protective dust covers on both the vehicle and trailer plug.


Features:

  • Wiring kit includes vehicle-end connector and trailer-end connector
  • 5-Wire design common on boat trailers with hydraulic brakes
    • Provides backup function to release surge brakes
  • Easy-pull, ergonomic grips on connectors make disconnecting a snap
  • Heavy-duty connector housings have built-in mounting holes
  • Durable, molded dust covers provide superior protection for terminals
    • Tin-plated terminals resist corrosion
  • Nylon sleeves and heat-shrink tubing protect wires
  • Terminal grease packet and ground screw included


Specs:

  • Connector: 5-way flat
  • Vehicle-end wire length: 48"
  • Trailer-end wire length: 18"
  • 3-Year warranty


The 5-way flat connector is found on most newer boat trailers that have hydraulic brakes. The fifth wire in this model ties into the reverse lights on your vehicle so that a signal can be sent to your hydraulic brake actuator to disengage whenever the tow vehicle is put into reverse. To use this function, your actuator must have an electric reverse lockout with solenoid.


The 5-way design will also work with small utility trailers that have electric brakes. For this type of application, the fifth wire will need to be wired to correspond with your in-cab, electric brake controller.

etrailer is the only place I could find this item. It is much higher quality than other flat connectors, with weather covers and big finger/thumb grips to actually hold onto the connectors and easily separate them. I used the 'trailer' end in my adapter unit.



by:

The female connector is attached to the swing arm of a motorcycle to provide lighting lighting for a trailer pulled by the motorcycle. This means that there is likely much more movement in the harness than for an automotive application. I've never had a problem with any part of the harness. I found this product to be exactly what I wanted, well made and easy to install. The protective cap functions well as it remains pliable (flexible) after a year of use, and while it has never fallen off in use, it is easy enough to remove before making the connection. It has done the perfect job of keeping mud and other detritus out of the contacts. The recessed nut holders also function well and is one of the reasons I chose this wiring kit. This wiring kit gets high regard and recommendation from me. All of my purchases from etrailer have been solid products delivered at reasonable cost.

It works, still. Does the job I need it to do. Not much more to say. In general, I tend to like the stuff that Hopkins makes.



by:

The quality of this connector is great. I installed ea one end to the hitch platform on the motorcycle and bolted it down then did the same on the trailer. I used the old connectors to make a jumper between them. Works great and I don’t have to worry about wires getting damaged. Love it

Still working great

One year after installing the conversion of drum to disk brakes on my single axle EZ Loader boat trailer, the brakes continue to work perfectly. I've had no reason to seek assistance on service or warranty.



by:

With the help of Crystal I ordered this connector and a matching wiring harness for my motorcycle and trailer. I was unsure if these were the correct parts, but Crystal was able to locate the exact ones and ship them the same day.
I was very pleased with the fast service and knowledgeable staff. Even with standard shipping, my order arrived 4 days sooner than was projected.

To say I'm happy with etrailer is an understatement. They are great.



by:

The Hopkins Endurance 5-way flat trailer wiring Kit PN HM47890 and wiring clips PN 464600 arrived ahead of the time scheduled and are of a higher quality than we expected. Thanks a million!



by:

Have not had opportunity to put products to use yet. Products look like they should do the intended job well. Etrailer.com does have really fair pricing and shipping time is outstanding! Received complete order within 3 days of placing order. Will definitely use again.

Amazing service



by:

Worked perfect....the mounting was great and placed the wiring neat and clean by the hitch on my Street Rod ...........I have you bookmarked for future purchases.



by:

Replaced a round connector that was unreliable and would loose connection over the road. This flat 5 pin makes 100% connection every time and stays connected. The boot is also weather tite when connected or not so there's no corrosion. Great product.

I'm hoping to do much more business with etrailer! Thank you

  • Installing 5 Way Connector for Reverse Trailer Brake Lockout on 2002 Escape w/Ground Side Switching
    Your vehicle has a ground side switching reverse light circuit. You can use the Hopkins Wiring Harness with 5-Pole Flat Trailer Connector - Vehicle End - 5' Long # HM37908, on your vehicle to install all of the connections from your original 4-Way connector and then wire the reverse light circuit. For your ground side switching reverse light circuit you will need a relay. These relays are called ISO relays and are available at your local auto parts dealer. The relay will have 5 terminals....

  • Reverse Light Recommendations for a Motorcycle Trailer
    If the trailer is one designed to carry a motorcycle, you can add some reverse lights to it. I recommend two lights, one on each side of the rear of the trailer. There are better suited lights for this application. I recommend the Sealed, 6-1/2 inch LED Clear Oval Trailer Utility Light, 10 Diode, # BUL72CB. These lights are submersible. You will also need a rubber grommet, # a70gb, for each light, and a pigtail, # A45CB, for each light. To mount the lights, you can use Mounting Bracket...

  • Availability Of 5 Flat Adapter For A 2021 Ram ProMaster 3500
    Hello Howard, we actually do sell a kit designed specifically for this purpose with the Curt Trailer Connector Adapter # C57187. This plugs in to the existing 4-flat and will hardwire into the reverse light circuit on your ProMaster van. I am afraid I don't have a way to tell you exactly where to find the reverse light circuit. You may be able to get that info from a dealership. Otherwise the best way is to go in with a wire tester like part # PTW2993 until you find the reverse wire.

  • Backup Light Wiring for Trailer Reverse Light Installation
    You are correct that a separate wire is run for a reverse light. The Light Guide LED Truck/Trailer Light - Backup and Tail - Submersible - 12 Diodes - Oval - Clear Lens # BUL602CRB will use the reverse light circuit of your tow vehicle, normally tapped into at the tail light assembly reverse light. This does require adding another wire to your trailer connector. I recommend using the Hopkins Endurance 5-Way Flat Trailer Wiring Kit - Vehicle and Trailer Ends - Ergonomic Design # HM47890....

  • Does the Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator Have a Lockout
    The Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator part # DX33FR comes with a manual lockout key for reversing. That said, if you would like for this to be done automatically you can simply add an electric lockout, the Solenoid Valve part # T4748800. That said, you'll also need a 5-way on the trailer and vehicle for this so if you don't already have one I recommend the Hopkins Endurance 5-Way Flat Trailer Wiring Kit part # HM47890. The Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator is made in the USA.

This adapter will have a 5-flat connector on one end and the other end will have a 4-flat and a extra plug.

    I do have an option for you but the Titan Model 20 Surge Brake Actuator doesn't have a manual lockout key nor do we have one compatible. That said, if you need to lockout the actuator you can simply install a bypass solenoid, the Replacement Solenoid Valve for Titan Brake Actuators with Reverse Lockouts part # T4748800. This will require a 5-way connector so if you don't have one already I recommend the Hopkins Endurance 5-Way Flat Trailer Wiring Kit part # HM47890 which comes with both...

  • Can a 3-Wire to 2-Wire Trailer Wiring Harness Converter be Bypassed
    The only way to bypass a 3-wire to 2-wire trailer wiring harness converter (assuming your vehicle has a 3-wire or separate tail light system) would be to convert your trailer to a 3-wire (or separate) tail light system. This means you will need a separate tail light circuit, brake light circuit, and turn signal circuits on the trailer. You will also need to use either a 5-way, 6-way or 7-way style trailer connector on your trailer and tow vehicle and substitute one of the pins for the additional...

    It sounds like your new tandem axle trailer has a surge brake coupler. You will need to use the manual lockout on the coupler if there is one or add a Replacement Solenoid Valve for Titan Brake Actuators with Reverse Lockouts # T4748800. This electric lockout connects to a 5-way trailer plug like # HM47890, and an adapter like the Tow Ready 4 Pole to 5 Pole Trailer Wiring Adapter # 20036 will connect to the reverse light circuit at your tail light to send a signal to that solenoid to...

  • Parts Needed to Backup Without Putting on the Surge Brakes When Parking or Launching a Boat Trailer
    Yes, there is a way to back up your boat trailer and keep the surge brake actuator, # T43397007K, from applying pressure to the trailer brakes. You will need an electric lockout solenoid, # T4748800, which will close when you shift the vehicle into reverse, allowing the trailer to be backed. Along with the solenoid, you will need a solenoid cover, # T4835800183, if your actuator is the model 60 actuator that you referenced. The cover will keep the solenoid from getting stepped on and damaged...

    You may be able to plug in the 4-Way flat into the 5-Way flat without an adapter. There will just be one pin that is not used by the 4-Way left over. All the other functions will still work. The pin furthest from the ground pin (on the vehicle side 5-Way) will be the one that is not used. If the two connectors will not fit together, you can use Wiring Kit, # HM47890. You will just need the trailer side of the kit. You will have to replace the connector on the tow lights with the trailer...

You will also need a rubber grommet, # a70gb, for each light, and a pigtail, # A45CB, for each light. To mount the lights, you can use Mounting Bracket # BK70BB.

  • Does the Dexter DX7.5 Drop-N-Go Brake Actuator - Disc Have a Manual Lockout
    The Dexter DX7.5 Drop-N-Go Brake Actuator part # 099-175-20 has both an electric lockout as well as a manual. The electric one is a single wire on the back of the actuator that will be hooked up to the reverse light circuit on the vehicle. The manual one is engaged by placing the safety pin in the hole on the side of the actuator housing. Please note, you will need a 5-way to use the electric lockout and for this I recommend the Hopkins Endurance 5-Way Flat Trailer Wiring Kit part # HM47890...

  • Does Electric Lockout on Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuator Have to be Connected to Backup Lights
    If you only have an aftermarket backup camera tied into your OEM wiring then I'd be surprised if the electric lockout on the Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuator # 8608611 blew any fuses. I suppose you could technically wires it to any 12V power source as long as you made sure it sent power back when you are backing up, but then you run the risk of damaging trailer and tow vehicle components so I don't really recommend doing that. It would be best to connect it directly to the reverse light circuit. If...

  • How to Wire Titan # T4748800 Reverse Lock-Out Solenoid Valve
    The Titan Replacement Reverse Lockout Solenoid you mentioned is extremely easy to wire. The solenoid has two wires exiting it. One wire grounds to the trailer tongue, the other would connect to the reverse light circuit on the tow vehicle. Once wired, the solenoid will close when the tow vehicle is shifted into reverse, preventing the trailer brakes from applying when the trailer is backed. Since it sounds like both your vehicle and trailer have a 4-pole connector, you'll need to install...

    Yes, running a separate wire for the reverse light function will work but you will need to use connectors on your tow vehicle and trailer that has 5 pin locations instead of 4. If you just need a 5-Way for your vehicle side then use part # HM47900 but if you need one for your trailer side use part # HM47910. These are combined in a package with part # HM47890 if you need one for both your tow vehicle and trailer. Simply connect the reverse light circuit to the pin location furthest...

  • Can Reverse Lockout Solenoid Be Installed on DA91 Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuator
    Yes, you can definitely add a solenoid to the Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuator # DM8509202 so your brakes don't activate when you put your vehicle and trailer in reverse. What you're looking for is the Reverse Lockout Solenoid # DM11993. Just be sure to install a 5-Way connector on both your trailer and your tow vehicle so you can get that reverse function to the solenoid. If you don't already have these then we have the Hopkins Kit # HM47890 you can use to accomplish this.

    We do have a solution for you, however, you will not be able to power reverse lights on a trailer with a 4-pin trailer connector. The reverse lights on a trailer must receive power from the reverse lights on the tow vehicle. To do this, you will want to install a 5-pin connector on the trailer and on the tow vehicle.
