Video Transcript for Review of Deka Wiring - 12-10 Gauge Butt Connectors - DW05745-10
Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we take a look at the Deka yellow butt connectors for the 12 to 10 gauge size wire. And this is for a quantity of 10 connectors. Now these yellow butt connectors will join two lengths of 12 gauge or 10 gauge size wire and they'll insulate the connection with this heat shrinkable nylon for adjustability and durability. The yellow color will indicate the size wire that this connector will fit which is the 12 to 10 gauge size. And if you're not sure or remember which color fits what it is also stamped on the connector itself 12 dash 10 AWG.
Now to install these connector it's pretty simple. All you have to do is take the two wires you're wanting to connect. And at the end of it, strip off about a quarter of vincent quarter inch of the insulation, so you have a bare wire on each end and then you'll take the first wire and you'll stick it all the way into this side and push it until it goes as far as it will right in there's this metal casing in the center here, right in the middle there's a stopper. So when you put your wire in, it'll stop automatically. So just push it in all the way make sure your strip portion is under that metal casing and then take your crimper and just push down on that to crimp that wire to that side.
And then you'll do the same with the second wire. Take the strip den slide it all the way into it'll go no further make sure it's under the metal casing, crimp that end. And then once they're both crimp what you probably want to do is pull on the wires to make sure you got a good connection. Once that's good, then what you'll do is take a heat source, like a heat gun and then just apply heat up and down along this nylon here and it'll shrink over the insulation to completely seal around the connection and it prevents the elements from getting into that connection to cause a problem. Once that's all done, you're all set.
It's all ready to go. Now this part is for a quantity of 10 connectors. We do also sell it in a single pack which is part number DW Oh five seven four five dash one. And we also sell it in a five pack which is part number DW Oh five seven four five dash five but that should do it for the review on the Deka yellow butt connectors for the 12 to 10 gauge size wire for a quantity of 10..

product as described. still need to in stall.

didnt shrink well, maybe i didnt have strong enough heat source , no instructions, and i had not used them prior.
by: Steve05/28/2022
I’m still missing 3 items. Delay heat shrink. The tow bar 4 diode wiring kit and road master brake lite relay kit
by: David P04/02/2020
etrailer products and service are excellent! With their helpful videos and staff (plus a little help from Curt Manufacturing and our teardrop trailer manufacturer (CampInn)) I was able to install electric brakes on the trailer, and a controller in my vehicle by myself. I had never installed electric brakes before. Everything works perfectly!
by: Phil T.09/20/2015
Same exact brand that was on my trailer. Easy replacement of the brakes. A full $50 cheaper than the exact ones at the dealer where I purchased the trailer. Very happy.

Everything good. About to get the trailer inspected. Brakes are fine.
by: Adriene07/22/2022
Considering the package was a disaster when it arrived and many pieces missing I am not a happy customer. Only three of this item was received and not in a package of 10 as ordered. three, three separate tossed into the open box.

I am sorry to hear that your experience with us has been less than easy and efficient. I will pass this along to our customer service team and get you those missing connectors as soon as we can.

I purchased a 5th wheel wiring harness and heat shrink butt connectors,
for my 2015 GMC Sierra. I installed a tail gate light bar and did not want to cut the factory wiring. With the harness I was able to plug into the factory trailing plug
and butt connect to the light bar, while still being able to use both the 7 blade and flat trailer connectors. It made for a easy and very clean connection. thank you to
Steve and the E trailer web site for helping make this a easy job.

The entire shipment arrived quickly, ordered Sunday and it was there Wednesday.

Received all the parts to rebuild my travel trailer brakes in a short time. Everything from lug nuts, heat shrink splices, drums, bearings, seals, brake backing plates with complete brake assemblies. All in two boxes, albeit two heavy boxes... Total rebuild time from bare axles to tires on and torqued, about 2.5-3 hours. Everything I needed was there. Thanks to Sam G. for the great customer service.

Easy to use and they shrank up really well even on the little wires
by: Jordan06/23/2020
100% will and have ready reccomended etrailer!! I called because I truthfully had no idea what all I needed so I was hoping an expert would help me. My hold time was long, the recording told me approximately how long and it was accurate. Also, it's three weeks before the Fourth of July and everyone wants something to get road worthy. No big deal.
Once Geoffrey was on the phone I was absolutely blown away. He was patient, understood exactly what I was looking for (even though I didn't) and was incredibly helpful in the phone. He took his time to make sure we were going to have everything we needed to get the job done and get camping. He checked to make sure we were ordering the right size, even when our owners manual was super confusing he assisted in how to figure out exactly what we needed.
Shipping... Wow. We placed our order and less than 13 hours later it had been picked, packaged and was on its way to a shipping facility. We received it 2 days after placing the order at 7pm. We are close, but still, that's incredible!
Completely satisfied with every aspect of this experience.
by: Michael09/21/2019
The product arrived promptly as scheduled. The installation is simple: bolt the unit on the trailer frame with the supplied star washers and hook up the single power wire. The jack worked as advertised. Speed was typical for an electric jack.
The quality of the jack could be better. The three housing screws were pushed thru the plastic cover. Repaired by removing the screws and reinstalling with small washers. The fuse holder, which is already installed on the power wire below the housing, is not water proof, which should be for an exterior application. Time will tell if the unit is better than my initial observations.
Suggestion: the manual jack handle needs to be longer so it clears the top the of the propane tanks.
by: Frank S12/18/2016
Great website, easy to locate and order the right parts, fabulous delivery speed. Love eTrailer.com's videos to guide you through the installation -- THANKS!!
I agree with previous reviews that the packaging needs to improve. I had one brake assembly that had damage electric wires during shipping & I needed to repair. That is the only gripe I have. Other than that, THANKS!
by: Dean07/06/2016
I changed my trailer brakes to electric the NEV-ER-ADJUST brakes are good quality as is the heat shrink butt splices, 12-2 cable for the brakes. Glad I purchased new seals as there easy to damage when removing Very satisfied Thanks
by: Bruce04/29/2017
Order was complete and delivered in a timely manner. Only problem (minor) was the 7way pigtail was not wired to color code. Had to use test light to get 3 of the wires in correct location. Could be a problem if someone wasn't comfortable with ringing out wires.

These connectors are the bomb. I am looking to see if I can find more in my local area for household projects.
by: Garnett08/23/2019
Ordered 3 parts: RM-156-25; RM-156-75 and DW05745-10. All received very quickly, as is the case when I purchase from etrailer. More importantly, I get a 'live person' when I call for assistance and the service rep. is always knowledgable ( not an answering service that "will have someone call back". Time was spent with me answering all my questions and providing suggestions and opinions when I as for them, related to my project. Great company, great service - keep up the great work!
by: Gerald D03/09/2016
I had ordered a wiring harness but it didn't fit my truck,called etrailer got the right one on order ,and they emailed the return shipping label so I could send it back. These people are great to do business with, plus being very helpful in finding the right part.
by: Jim F.03/15/2017
I had very little room between my spare tire and the socket. It's probably listed somewhere but I couldn't find it for the two I was looking at. I made an online inquiry and Michael H. got right back to me with all the dimensions and clearances needed, which convinced me to go with the HM48470. Ordered it, some wire and a receiver lock, which arrived today. Will wait for the snow to melt before I crawl under there to install them. Thanks again for the great service!
by: Dave12/31/2018
Was a great recommendation buy etrailer.com in their installation video for my wiring harness. Glad I took their advice. Product was much cheaper than the local stores I looked at.
by: Ryan03/10/2018
connectors and breakers to hook up my brake controller arrived in order, installed easily, and lasted 1 year so far...
by: Erich W.06/03/2019
I really like the idea of any outdoor wiring connector that has self-sealing heat shrink. I don’t agree with the suggestion of using a lighter to activate the heat shrink—use a proper heat gun designed for this.
by: Jeffrey 02/26/2021
a must have to keep moisture out of the electrical brake connections. easy to crimp and seal, and one year later still keeping the connections dry. would definitely buy these again!
by: Shane03/12/2018
This part is a unique bundle etrailer has put together that is exactly what any Colorado/Canyon owner needs if their vehicle came without a tow package. The installation video was excellent and makes it possible for anyone to self install in their driveway.

- Recommended Trailer Side 7 Way Plug With Handles to Make Removal EasierIt sounds like you're looking for a 7 way trailer end plug, so the Pollak Black Plastic, 7-Pole, RV-Style Trailer Connector - Trailer End # PK12706 is what you're looking for. This has the handles on the sides to make removal easier and it will fit in the factory 7 way plug XL3T-14A624-BA that you've mentioned. If you need any wiring components to complete the installation of this you can use either 10 gauge # 10-1-1 or 12 gauge wiring # 12-1-1, which are sold by the foot; you may also...
view full answer... - Is Jacketed 2-Wire 10 Gauge Brake Wire Wire Available In Different LengthsYes, you can get the 2-wire, 10 gauge brake wire in any length you want, as it is sold by the foot; what you need is the following: - Deka Jacketed 2-Wire, 10 Gauge Brake Wire - per Foot # 10-2-1 Just put however many feet of wire you are looking for in the "Quantity" box on the product page and you're set. If you need butt connectors as well, we have those with the Deka Heat Shrink Butt Connector - 12-10 Gauge - Qty. 5 # DW05745-5 or Qty. 10 # DW05745-10.
view full answer... - Trailer Wiring Connector Recommendations for Extreme Weather ConditionsWe always recommend using Deka Heat Shrink Butt Connectors when wiring connections are going to be exposed to the elements. These use the standard butt connector to splice the wires together and then there is a shrink wrap on each one that seals away the wiring when heated up with something like a heat gun or a lighter. You will need 2 basic sizes of connectors for trailer wiring: - 16-14 Gauge # DW05744-10 - 12-10 Gauge # DW05745-10 Since you'll be in extreme weather conditions I also...
view full answer... - 7-Way Trailer Extension Harness for Use with Hitch Extender Yes we do and for this I recommend the TorkLift Wiring Harness Extension part # TLW6036 which offers a 36"(3') extension between your trailer and vehicle. You would then want to add a combination of part # 18140 and part # PK12711U to secure the female side of the 7-way to the hitch extender. By the time you add the 7-way extension harness and mounting brackets it would be much more cost effective to just cut off the 7-way connector on your trailer and add a (48") 4' extension plug to...
view full answer... - Are The Dexter Electric Trailer Brakes # 23-26-27 WaterproofTraditionally, trailer manufacturers did not use electric brakes on boat trailers because the brake magnet wiring and trailer wiring did not always have the best insulation or water protection. The Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Kit - 10" - Left and Right Hand Assemblies - 3,500lbs # 23-26-27 you referenced are not waterproof, so while I do not recommend them you can still use them on your boat trailer. I highly recommend using heat shrink butt connectors, like part # DW05745-10, when splicing...

Since it sounds like you want to use those surge brakes you will also need to cut off your vehicle's 4-way and add a 5-way connector to the vehicle. So what you can add is the following: - Hopkins Endurance 5-Way Flat Trailer Wiring Kit - Vehicle and Trailer Ends # HM47890 To splice in the wires on these connectors you will need the Deka Heat Shrink...

The other option would be wiring the light directly to a dimmer switch that can be installed right inside your RV door and routed to a 12v power source to allow you the best solution for this. I'll provide you with the parts for both options. If you want...

Installing this on a 2016 Chevy Colorado should take no time at all (maybe 20 minutes tops if you aren't familiar with it?) because all you have to do is replace the knockout plug in the bumper with this connector and then splice in the wiring harness to the OEM wiring on the driver's side of the bumper. Since this wiring will be out in the elements I recommend using...

- Can Electric Brakes Be Put on a Boat TrailerYes, electric brakes can be used on boat trailers. The brakes will not be damaged by going in and out of the water. Electric brakes are designed to hold up in all weather conditions because they have an E-coating that help prevent corrosion on most of the internal components and backing plate. For any of the wiring I recommend using Deka Heat Shrink Butt Connector - 12-10 Gauge - Nylon Insulation - Yellow - Qty 10 Item # DW05745-10 on any wires that are being spliced together. The heat...

The kit includes an adapter which will convert the existing 4 pole into a 7-way while also providing a functional 4 pole connector as well.

If not, these will needed to be welded in place by a qualified welder. Otherwise you will need to replace the axle with a properly rated unit that already has the brake flanges welded in place. I then recommend confirming that the etrailer.com Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # AKHD-545-35-K you referenced is compatible with the spindles on your Little Guy...

- Does Fusion LED Combination Tail Light Bar STL264RB Come With One Or Two Light Bars?The Fusion LED Combination Tail Light Bar for Trailers Over 80" Wide - Submersible - Red/Clear Lens # STL264RB you were looking at comes in a quantity of one. If you are needing two for your trailer you will need to order a quantity of two. I recommend using heat shrink butt connectors # DW05745-10 for a weather tight connection. I included a video of the # STL264RB for you to take a look at.

You'll also need some 12 gauge wire, which is available by the foot with part # 12-1-1 and some butt connectors # DW05745-10 to make the connections to the wiring. Other than that, you'll just be making connections...

There are some other parts you need if you're upgrading your trailer to have electric brakes: - 10 Gauge Wiring # 10-1-1 (enough to reach from your trailer connector to 1 brake and then along the axle to the other brake) - Butt Connectors # DW05745-10 - Junction Box Kit # 3430001-JBK - 7-Way Molded Trailer Wire Connector...

You can confirm this by using a circuit tester like # PTW2992 and testing the 7-way trailer connector. On the brake output pin, which is in the 5:00 position, you should not have any voltage unless the manual override switch is engaged on the controller. If you test the pin in the 1:00 position, you should show a constant 12-volts. If the function...

You should also be able to use the hub and drum assembly # AKHD-545-35-K for a standard spindle or # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K for an EZ Lube spindle.

To add reverse lights to your trailer from a 4 pole to a 7 pole on your 2017 Ram 1500 you are going to need a junction box with a 7 pole connector. I recommend is the Trailer Wiring 7-Way Upgrade Kit w/ Junction Box and RV Style Connector Item # HS381-9000. What makes this kit nice is the 7 pole plug comes with the junction box. You would just need to add your new reverse lights and wiring from the lights to the junction...

For the brakes you'll want 10 gauge wire, and for lights, 16 gauge wire, which you can get by the foot.

view full answer... - Installing New Trailer Light with 2 Wires in Place of Trailer Light with 1 WireAluminum trailers are known for issues when it comes to grounding. You can accomplish this by joining the individual grounds with a butt connector like # DW05745-10 to the one main ground wire. Another option is to install a simple junction box like # 38656 where each individual light's ground can be joined. Then connect to the main ground that goes to the trailer connector. Use ring terminals # 44-5310A to make the connections inside the box.

Or you could even cut the loom on both side of what you have, strip back the wiring, and then butt end connect all of the connections. For a set of ten butt connectors you'd then want the part # DW05745-10.

- Are Electric Drum Brakes Safe to Submerge and Use on Boat TrailerIt's no secret that water and electricity do not do well together. That being said, improvements in wiring insulation and heat shrink connectors have made it more and more common for boat trailer manufacturers to use electric brake assemblies instead of the traditional disc or drum hydraulic brakes, which are less cost effective. While electric brake assemblies and the components inside of them, like the # AKBRKR-M10 magnets are not waterproof, they can handle being submerged under water...
view full answer... - Recommended Wire Gauge for Electric Trailer BrakesI'm pretty sure trailer brakes themselves tend to have 12 gauge wire but we recommend using 10 Gauge Wire # 10-1-1 for your brake circuit simply because it allows more electricity to reach the destination. By the time the electricity travels to the brake kits it will be low enough for 12 gauge wire to work great, but we want something slightly larger at the source so that we aren't restricted.
