Five-wire design is perfect for newer boat trailers that have hydraulic brakes. Easy-pull connector housing makes disconnecting a snap and includes built-in mounting holes and a protective dust cover.
Features:
Specs:
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.

Five-wire design is perfect for newer boat trailers that have hydraulic brakes. Easy-pull connector housing makes disconnecting a snap and includes built-in mounting holes and a protective dust cover.I fitted the Hopkins 5-way flat connector harness with a 5-way round plug which couples to my Goldwing trike (tow vehicle). The popup trailer lights operate as designed.
Connector and wire harness well made - connector designed such that it can be mounted and harness has added protection for wires.
Would like to have marine grade wire since I do mostly saltwater fishing. I mounted the connector on a piece of 1.5" square galvanized tubing painted black.
Looks durable and should do the job.
I'm one of those people who do a lot of research before making a purchase. I am very happy with the quality of the Hopkins trailer connector and would highly recommend it.. Good quality products and excellent service from etrailer.com
Worked great on my 2022 Civic Sport Hatchback. Unlike the previous generation (2021 and older) you DO NOT have to trim the internal metal bumper for clearance of the outer plastic bumper. Trimming the lower diffuser was pretty easy and only required a 3-1/4 in cut in depth and about 2-1/4 in width (If you want the gaps super tight). Remember to tape off the panels before you get started to prevent chips and paint scratches and you'll be set.
Items were delivered as described and on time,Great experience!
ONE YEAR AFTER THIS WIRING HARNESS IS STILL WORKING GREAT . THE PART IS JUST WHAT I NEEDED AND THE SERVICE AT ETRAILER IS AWSOME..... I LIVE IN WISCONSIN WHERE THE WINTERS ARE VERY COLD AND THE ROADS ARE VERY SALTY AND IT HAS HELD UP GREAT.... AWSOME PRODUCT
Delivery was faster than I expected. I bought a converter with the appropriate adapters to go from a 4 wire vehicle to a trailer with turn signals separate from the brakes. I haven't done my final assembly yet, but I did take a few minutes to twist the wires together to make sure everything was going to work like it was supposed to. Instructions were clear, wires & converter were clearly labeled & preliminary hook up took less than 10 minutes.
etrailer is a great place. They have both quality equipment and parts, as well as excellent prices. If you need some advice, they can supply that as well. It is rare in the days of internet buying that you can find all three qualities from one store.
This connector is built to last. A big step up from most flat 4 or 5 wire in quality.
With it's secure fitting dust/dirt cover I have no worries that the terminals
will stay clean and always make a good connection . The 3 year warranty is a
plus also.
Not installed yet due to weather & travel. Prefer to 5 pin adapter kit. Like extra cable / wire length to connect to Jeep wire harness so all connections are in a protected space. Heavy duty and like dust cap.
I needed to change from a 4 prong trailer connection to a 5 prong. The product was easy to wire and works great. A good product and I would recommend it to anyone.
Product exactly as described. Etrailer.com delivered to my door within 3 days! As always excellent communication and transaction.
Will continue to use them for all my trailering needs.
Great Product. Each terminal is identified in the plastic plug end - making wiring and troubleshooting easier.
Comes with a decorative and protective loom and covering end cap.
Attached easily. Nice that NO extra bracket is needed to attach to the bumper.
Excellent product with simplicity made this a breeze to connect. works like a charm!!
A quality built wiring harness. Heavy duty and well constructed.
Great quality, good materials, good wire gauge, covers built in. Just all around nice.
Great quality piece. Will made wiring my Jeep to my trailer so much easier.
See review for the other side of the harness. Both sides are well identified.
Plug and Play
Installed product without a hitch, been working as expected.

We are a hitch install shop that specializes in all things towing and this wiring was installed multiple times over the last year, this is the best wiring to upgrade to the 5 flat that will last long because the wires and 5 flat head is more durable than some alternative options.
Great product, good prices very good customer service would highly recommend.
