Solid and simple construction make this a great plug for rugged high amp application. I use this for power transfer to my dump trailer and it works great! Definitely recommend this product.!

Nice product
by: Danny J03/15/2014
I LOVE these! I need to run power to my car hauler and had to replace the cheap single pole cable I bought at the truck shop since both connectors (cheap cast aluminum) broke in only a few weeks. I've used this connector for years and it is easy to dis/connect EVERY time, and it's thick brass case does NOT break. If you need reliability, and can't afford to have a work stoppage, this will be what you need.

Makes a great disconnect for Winches, and fast shipping from etrailer.
by: Jason04/14/2019
Use on all of my trailers with winches. Very durable and better than plastic plugs companies like to use with winches. Only down fall you have to sodier power wire into center power pin

It doesn't have the capability to do what you claim. Also, the instructions are extremely vague.
by: David 08/19/2022
Connector was as exactly as described and was heavy-duty and excellent quality. Item was packaged and shipped well.
by: Dan F07/22/2017
Product was exactly what I thought it would be and showed up ahead of time and in great shape. I would definitely recommend you guys to friends and family, thanks again.

I only wish the description would have included the part and number for the seal and the spring
that fit on the back of the plug. I would have order the seal too.

See what our Experts say about this Pollak Trailer Wiring
- How to Charge Two 12 Volt Batteries on an RV Towed by a Ford F-150The 12 volt circuit on a 7-Way trailer connector can provide a maintenance charge to a 12 volt battery but it will not be able to fully charge it because the wiring for a 7-Way is too small to carry the current required. What you can do to charge the batteries on the RV is to first install a battery isolator, # PK5231201, in the truck. You will need to attach one terminal to the positive on the truck battery and then connect the center terminal to a 12 volt ignition source (something that...
view full answer... - Recommendation For Getting Power To A Trickle Charger On A Trailer With A 4 Flat PlugThe best way to accomplish what you want this to do will actually be to upgrade the 4 Flat plug on the trailer to a 7 Way. If you use something like the Hopkins # H20046, you will not need to connect all the wires. You will just need to match your blinker/brake signal, running light, and ground wires to the ones on the plug and them run the black wire to the trickle charger. A junction box like the # 38656 will also make this task a lot easier. If you do prefer to keep the 4 Flat on the...
view full answer... - Parts Needed to Charge a Trailer Battery for a WinchFirst, the wiring on a trailer connector can provide a maintenance charge to a 12 volt battery on a trailer but it will not be able to fully charge it. The 12 volt circuit on a 7-Way is already circuit protected so a separate fuse or breaker should not be needed. There is a way you can provide a charge to the battery from the truck. You would need to equip the truck and trailer with separate single pole connectors independent of the 7-Way. For the trailer side, you would need Pollak Single-Pole,...
view full answer... - How Does 00 Gauge Wire Get Installed In Pollak Single Pole Connector PK11852?The 00 Gauge wire you have will need to get soldered to the the Pollak Single Pole Connector # PK11852. You will remove the front portion of the connector by removing the screw on the front portion of the connector and then pulling the front part of the terminal out. Next push the wire through the rear of the connector, strip off enough of the the wire insulation to go into the terminal, then solder it on. Before doing this you can also add the Cable Guard # PK11763 to protect your...
view full answer... - How to Charge a Trailer Battery While Towing a Tear Drop Trailer with a 2002 Volvo v70XCIf your trailer has a 7-Way connector, then it either already has electric brakes or is set up for electric brakes. Either way, you would not want to use the pin and wiring for the electric brake to charge a battery because it is too small a gauge for this application. A 7-Way connector already has a pin for a 12 volt accessory. If you are looking at the face of the trailer side 7-Way, it is in the 11 oclock position. This wire is only large enough to maintain a battery but will not charge...
view full answer... - Why is the End of the Pollack Single-Pole Trailer Connector # PK11852 ThreadedThe threaded end of the Pollack Single-Pole Trailer Connector, # PK11852, is for the Pollack Plated Steel Cable Guard, # PK11763. The cable guard prevents incoming wires from crimping and includes a loop to hang the connector when it is not in use.
view full answer... - Male and Female Single Pin and 2-Way Pins for Trailer WiringI think you may have your part numbers swapped around but the part numbers you mentioned all can work together. The 2-ways part # 337TC1002 and # 337TC2002 are perfectly compatible with each and the single pins # PK11851 and # PK11852.
view full answer... - Trailer Plugs Compatible with 1 and 2 Pole Pollak Trailer SocketsBoth trailer connectors you speak of are sockets that would typically be used on the vehicle end of the trailer/vehicle connection. One is a one pole, the other a two pole so they wouldn't be compatible with each other. The Pollak # PK11851 is a single pole wiring socket, which would be compatible with a # PK11852 single pole plug The Pollak # PK12801 2-pole socket would be compatible with a 2-pole plug, part # PK12800.
view full answer... - How To Create a Separate Battery Charge and Light Trailer Connector for a Truck Bed CamperI do have an option for you but most of the standard trailer connectors are not going to handle an 8 gauge wire very well as it is just too large. Therefore, your best option as you mentioned would be to just run the lights and battery charge line on separate connectors. I have attached some parts you will need below for the above option. Pollak Black Plastic, 7-Pole, RV Blade-Style Trailer Socket - part # PK12-707E Pollak Black Plastic, 7-Pole, RV-Style Trailer Connector - part # PK12706 Pollak...
view full answer... - Max Wire Gauge Rating for Use with Pollak Single Pin Connector and SocketThe Pollak Single-Pole, Round Pin Trailer Wiring Socket # PK11851 and plug part # PK11852 are rated for 300 amps of continous use like you mentioned. They can accept up to 00 gauge wire which is very thick.
view full answer... - Trailer Wiring and Method to Charge Trailer Battery on a 2005 1/2 Volkswagen JettaFor the 2005 and 1/2 model year VW Jetta, you will need a T-One Vehicle wiring harness, #118667, if you have the new body style. If you have the older body style, you will need the Hardwire Kit, # C59496. Since the wiring on the harness and your Jetta is not rated for a charging application, you will need to hardwire a connector specifically for this function. You could use part # PK11851, mount it on your vehicle. Connect 6 gauge to 00 gauge wire from the positive battery terminal...
view full answer... - Does Travel Trailer Battery Connector Need to Have Ground ConnectionYes, whether you plan on using the Pollak Single-Pole # PK11852 (which is geared more towards winches) or the 7-Way Round RV Style Trailer Connector - Trailer Side # A7WCB (which is recommended for a travel trailer), you will not only connect the power wire but you also need to have a ground connection as well. The single pole connector has a ground connection on top of it while the 7-Way has a pin designated for the ground (see attached picture).

- How Charge Trailer Battery With Truck While Using WinchThe 12v power pin on the 7-way connector of your 2012 Chevrolet Silverado will provide a small maintenance charge to your trailers battery, but will not be able to support it using a winch. The only option to keep it charged when using something that draws a lot of power like a winch would be installing a heavy duty single pole connector # PK11851 on the truck and the trailer side # PK11852 on the trailer. These connectors will work with 00 gauge wire and you will need to run that wire...
view full answer... - Can the Ultra-Fab 4K Electric A-Frame Jack Be Powered From the VehicleYes, the Ultra-Fab Electric A-Frame Jack part # UF38-944016 can be powered from the tow vehicle's battery. I suggest simply attaching a trailer connector to the end of the power wire and extending if needed, similar to the etrailer Electric Jack with Footplate and 7-Way Plug part # EJ-3527-BBX. That said, the Ultra-Fab pulls more power than the etrailer so you really can't use the 7-way socket due to the wire gauge difference. I recommend installing part # PK11852 on the jack and part...
view full answer... - Higher Amperage 12 Volt Power Connector to Use at Rear of 2020 GMC Sierra 1500For a higher amperage connector setup you'd want the single pole part # PK11851 with the matching male side part # PK11852. This has a 300 amp rating so you'd be perfectly fine to run basically anything you'd want from it. The connector you mentioned is limited to only 10 amps. I'd go with 8 gauge or thicker for maximum amperage as well.

- Recommendation for Charging a Lithium Battery Bank From a 2009 Ram 3500 Diesel Tow VehicleThe Battery Isolation Solenoid # PK5231201 along with 00 gauge wire and Pollak Single-Pole, Round Pin Trailer Wiring Socket # PK11851 along with # PK11852 will allow you a great connection for charging your battery. I also recommend putting a 40 amp circuit breaker # 9510 in line to protect your system. The issue is it will not amplify your charge so you will still be limited to the 2-3 amps charging above what your truck uses from your alternator. For a better option, I recommend using...
view full answer... - Quick Disconnect Socket for Charging a BatteryAs long as you do not exceed the 300 amp rating of the Pollak Single-Pole, Round Pin Trailer Wiring Socket part # PK11851 then this would work for you. For the male end of the above socket you would want to use the Pollak Single-Pole, Round Pin Trailer Wiring Connector part # PK11852. The connectors can accept a wire size up to 00 gauge therefore, the 2 gauge wire will work well for you. I have attached a review video of each connector as well.
view full answer... - Wire Gauge to Use with Pollak Single-Pole Round Pin Trailer WiringThe Pollak single-pole connector, part # PK11851, is designed for 00 gauge wire. You'll need to solder the wire to the back of the connector. The corresponding male connector is part # PK11852 which also uses 00 gauge wire.
view full answer... - Using the 12 Volt 7-Way Circuit for Off Road Lights on a TrailerThis sounds like a power draw issue. The 12 volt circuit on your 7-way is only designed to provide a certain amount of amps which will vary depending on the vehicle but it is usually around 20-40. If the power draw of your off road lights exceeds this then that is what would cause them to cut out. It may be best for you to just run the off road lights directly to the battery with a quick disconnect in between the trailer and tow vehicle. For quick disconnects I recommend part # PK11852...
view full answer... - How To Run Large Gauge Wire Between Truck and TrailerThe only option we can offer to run a large gauge wire between the trailer and tow vehicle is with the Pollak Single-Pole, Round Pin Trailer Wiring Socket part # PK11851 and the Pollak Single-Pole, Round Pin Trailer Wiring Connector part # PK11852. The standard 7-way terminals will only accept wires up to 10 gauge on all but the ground circuit.
view full answer... - Recommended Wiring and Installation Instructions for WinchSingle-Pole, Round Pin Trailer Wiring Connector, # PK11852, which you reference, uses #OO gauge wire, which we do not carry at this time. The best solution would be to use a winch wiring kit like the Winch Trailer Wiring Kit, item # BDW20043. This kit includes everything needed to install a connector at the rear of the vehicle and at the front of the trailer, for powering a winch. If you already have heavy enough gauge wire you can order the Electrical Quick Connectors, item # DL24086. For...
view full answer... - Can 2 Gauge Wire be Used with Pollak Single-Pole, Round Pin Trailer Wiring ConnectorA 2 gauge wire is only a little smaller than double aught (2/0) by about 0.11 inches diameter so it could be used in connector # PK11852. But I advise soldering in the wire and not crimping it for the best results. Triple aught (3/0) would be too large to fit.
view full answer... - Socket and Connector Recommendation for Charging Battery Bank of TrailerThe part # PK11852 and # PK11851 can be used for charging a trailer's battery. You would not be completing a circuit on the trailer since it's running to a battery so all you'd need to do is run the charge wire to the battery and you'd be able to charge it.
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Roadmaster Even Brake # RM-9400 Detects Low Battery Voltage on a Charged BatteryThere may be some sort of feature on the vehicle that reduces power if it is not running but I would think it would cause the low voltage message again after you have turned the system off again. You may need to connect the Even Brake, # RM-9400, to a different power source and see if that fixes the problem. The troubleshooting pages in the instructions only state to make sure the red wire on the ICX transmitter is connected to 12 volt power and the white wire is connected to a ground...

A year later, the connects are still doing just fine. Since they are exposed to the weather and road spray I spray them out with brake cleaner and reapply a little dielectric grease to them and have never had so much as a hiccup from this great product.
