I was super impressed with the service from etrailer.com! The product was just what I wanted, price was great, and I received it in just a few days.



by:

Exactly what I needed. Etrailer always comes through



by:

Product was as expected.



by:

I was very pleased with this connector. It is robust and of high quality for its cost. I'd highly recommend it.



by:

Plug is great it comes w/o the wire releaf support at the tail end of plug.



by:

Packing,shipping&Item PERFECT!!! etrailer your the bomb !!!

I searched locally for a 7-pin trailer plug without finding any round-pin styles only flat blade. I searched online and found this plug.
This plug is very well made, easy to connect wires to and fits the socket on my Kubota tractor.
Also, it was in stock and shipped much faster than I expected, which I greatly appreciated.

I am very pleased with the product. It is working great on my Kubota tractor.



by:

the connector is "as advertised" (which is refreshing) it needs some sort of protective cover of the wires as they enter the plug, but maybe it is available and i didn't see to order it. I would buy it again.



by:

If you have any agricultural equipment, this is the easiest way to adapt the normal automotive style connectors to your vehicles and equipment. Great product, and as usual, ETrailer.com has the best price and least expensive way of shipping it to you.

Still great,



by:

The way the connector comes apart & goes back together is very sensible. The terminal connections can accommodate large wires - up to 12 gauge on all except for 1 that can go up to 10 gauge as far as I can remember. They could possibly handle larger but I didn't check since I didn't need the wires that large. They're labeled for standard 7-way trailer wire colors, which is useful for most people but I couldn't go by it. Mine was a custom application. If a spring strain relief came with it that would be awesome but I wouldn't expect it for the price I paid. Hope that info helps.



by:

I have a 1993 ford e150 with a factory I installed trailer connector round pin. I couldn't find a 7 to 4 match anywhere. Then I saw this pk11700 adapter and it worked great. Plus I have extra connectors now to add other lights. Great product thx



by:

I got exactly what I expected. Great customer service & follow through.

This is a quality connector that was used to support electrical connections between my RV and toad. Its held up beautifully & I continue to be very pleased with it.



by:

The plugs did what they were supposed to do, and the customer service was excellent.



by:

The cable end plug arrived on the exact estimated date I was given on the day of ordering. Wiring it is very simple. There is a screw for each terminal opening. Use a small phillips screwdriver to thread the screw out, insert the wire, and then tighten the screw.
A retention clamp is an integral part of the plug. Again it is a simple matter of turning a screw to open it and tighten it back down again. The plug is well made and should last a long time. It is exactly the replacement part I was looking for.
I will come back to etrailer.com when I need related items. I highly recommend.



by:

Just reviewed the truck receiver half of this product - same deal. Nice heavy parts - little plastic. Nice big round brass contact pins; due to the fact that these parts are cast, there is little chance of water/dirt/condensation working into the wire contacts. Locks in tight with the receiver. All in all, a good purchase.



by:

Haven't wired up the connector yet. Would have been nice if the standard wiring diagram used through out the USA would have been included. Then the trailer would be wired correctly to any vehicle that was using it. Mine didn't have the trailer brake or back up lite shown.




by:

It came exactly as described, and in a timely manner.

I bought it to use on my tractor, but decided to wire accessories different. I may use the plug at a later date.



by:

i did not realize there are TWO different sizes of 7 pin round connectors ?? apparently i have the smaller one and the one i got was way to BIG .....



by:

Worked perfectly to replace an electrical plug one of our drivers ripped off by accident. Was able to save the whole harness for $10 with this!



by:

For me, and probably you, etrailer.com is a great place to shop/buy quality products. They give great follow up after ordering and fast shipping @ a fair price. I believe their service & pricing is unbeatable. I do shop for bargains & etrailer is @ the top of my list.



by:

It is very refreshing in this age of Internet shopping to find a site that provides good product information, competitive pricing and great customer before and after the purchase. Product was exactly what the product info on the site stated. Appreciate the good service and will definitely use etrailer.com for future needs.

Thanks.



by:

I have used this connector on an equipment trailer for the last year with no issues. It has worked flawlessly. It was a good decision to go with this item.



by:

Plug appears to be of very good quality and is as represented. We are using this plug to make an adapter harness to plug our RV into a semi tractor.



by:

Solid product. Can't wait to get it installed. Going to use it as a auxiliary power device for my tractor hardtop. Lights and wiper hookups.



by:

Product arrived timely and in excellent condition. It came with SAE J560 instructions that were helpful. Wiring the connector was easy.

See what our Experts say about this Pollak Trailer Wiring

  • Which Pin of 7-Way Round Connector is for Electric Brake Output
    On 7-way round connectors like the part # PK11700 like what you referenced it's the center pin that would carry the brake output circuit.

  • Trouble Shooting Trailer Brakes That Are Weak or Not Working With a Brake Controller
    The Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195 should be pushing 12 volts when on full power or when using the manual override lever. The trailer brakes should be drawing somewhere between 3.2 to 4 amps. From what it sounds like, you are within these parameters, so odds are you are having a ground issue with the trailer. Especially with the front axle locking when power was applied. What I would do is ground each brake separately and double check any other ground wires. You will want to make sure all...

  • Troubleshooting Gooseneck Trailer that Has no Trailer Brakes After Using 7-Way to 6-Way Adapter
    For an adapter to go from a 7-way on a vehicle to a 6-way on a trailer you would want the part # 47549. The center pin is set-up as the hot lead but can easily be changed to work with trailers that have the center pin wired as the brake. It sounds like you may have the brake output circuit backwards on your 6-way setup for what you would need. On your trailer 6-way you can swap the circuit in the 1:00 position as you face the connector with the center pin and the problem should go away.

  • Wiring a 7-Way Round Pin European Trailer Connector
    Usually a brown wire contains the running light circuit. However, you cannot go by wire color because it always varies from trailer to trailer. You will want to trace the wire back to where it leads on the trailer to determine its function and then make the connection in the trailer connector as needed. If you have a European 7-Way then it will be a little different. I have included a picture that shows the typical functions of a European 7-Way.

  • What is the Function of the Red Wire on a Pollak 7-Way Trailer Connector/Wiring Harness
    On a Pollak 7-Way trailer connector/wiring harness the red wire is for left turn signal and brake light functions. On many aftermarket wiring harnesses you usually see a yellow wire for left turn and brake lights at the trailer connector. But on a Pollak 7-Way the red wire takes that function. I have included a link to our help article on trailer wiring which includes diagrams of the front and back of both vehicle and trailer side connectors.

  • Can Auxiliary Circuit of 7-Way Trailer Wiring Connector be Used for Brake Output Circuit
    The auxiliary pin of your 7-way can be used for whatever you need it to be. So if you wanted to use it for a brake controller output circuit you certainly could. It's possible the current circuit you are using has a short on it to other trailer wiring functions which is why yours doesn't like to work with it's current setup. Seeing if you can find a short and fixing as needed might be your better option.

  • How Many Volts Should I Get to the Trailers Brakes When Pressing the Brake Pedal
    You should get 12 volts coming from your brake controller if the controller is set on its highest setting. If your not, the first thing to do is to examine the trailer connector for any corrosion or debris and clean it if necessary. You'll also want to check the ground wires for the magnets and the brake circuit wire from the brake controller for any damage or pinches.

  • Troubleshooting Trailer Brake Controller with Fluctuating Voltage
    On your trailer brake controller, the fluctuating voltage if it is output would be due to the accelerometer that is integrated in the controller if it is a proportional controller but it being so touchy still doesn't sound normal. Whether it is proportional or time delayed in function there likely is a malfunction or connection issue. I've attached an article to assist with troubleshooting.

  • Function of Blue Wire on 7-Way Round Trailer Connector
    Sounds like you are referencing the blue wire of the 7-way round connector like what's in the attached picture. If you have no use for an additional 12 volt circuit then it would not be needed. It isn't always needed so it sounds like you may not need it at all.

  • Which Pins on a Heavy Duty 7-Way Round Trailer Connector are Power and Ground
    I attached a diagram that shows a heavy duty 7-way pin out like the part # PK11700 that you referenced (diagrams on right of pic). The 12 volt circuit is normally in the center pin, and the ground is normally the top one. The colors aren't always standard on applications so best option is to determine function by pin location instead. Power MIGHT be black and ground most likely is white though.

  • Brake Lights on 2012 Semi Trailer Work But Not Brake Lights on 2004 Freightliner
    Since your semi trailer brake lights are working but the tractor's brake lights are not working, it sounds like the wiring for the trailer lighting is independent of the tractor's brake lights. If all of the trailer lights operate as they are supposed to then I would first check the fuse panel in the tractor for a blown brake light fuse or perhaps for corrosion in the fuse holder. You can also check the individual brake lights on the tractor for signs of a weak ground connection (especially...

  • Which Circuit on 6-Way and 7-Way Controls Reverse Light Circuit
    The reverse light circuit of trailer wiring is what overrides the reverse lock out solenoid of a surge actuator to allow the trailer to back it up without brakes locking up. On a 6-way this circuit should be the center pin. This is also true on 7-ways like the part # PK11700 you referenced.

  • Trailer Brakes Will Not Lock Up With 2013 Eclipse Triple Axle Toy Hauler
    The first thing that I recommend you do is check the blue brake output wire for shorts from the trailer side connector all the way back to each braking assembly and then check the grounds for each of the braking assemblies. That said, you are going to experience some voltage drop due to the length of your trailer and distance between brake controller and braking assemblies. Once the brake output wire is checked I would then recommend that you check/adjust the tension on your braking assemblies....

  • How to Determine Wire Functions on a Tandem Axle Dump Trailer
    Trailers in the US have combined turn signals and brake lights on the same circuit. So it is likely that the yellow wire is left turn/brake lights, green is right turn/brake lights and brown is running lights. That leaves black and red. One of them is the ground, likely black, and the other is for another function, possibly 12 volt power or for an electric reverse lockout if the trailer has hydraulic brakes. The easiest way to determine wire function would be to run power using a separate...

  • Why Would Trailer Brake Controller Circuit Always have Pulsing Signal On Circuit
    The pulsing you are seeing on the brake controller output circuit is normal. That is the controller testing the circuit to see if it detects the load of trailer brake magnets. If it detects the magnets it will show that the controller is connected. If it doesn't sense anything the controller shows that it is not connected to a controller. The problem has to be on the car hauler trailer. First thing to check is for corrosion on the trailer connector as that typically is what prevents brakes...

  • Installing Trailer Plug for Correct Wiring Location for Trailer Functions
    Rewiring the Pollak Heavy-Duty, 7-Pole, Round Pin, Trailer Wiring Connector - Trailer End # PK11700 simply means disassembling it. The outer housing has a screw to release the connector and give you access to the screws for each wire. You will simply loosen the screws as much as possible and slowly and firmly pull the wire with a pliers. I've attached an article to assist with the correct locations for the rewire.

  • Wiring Trailer Brake Magnet with 1 Black Wire and 1 Red/Black Wire
    On many brake magnets it does not matter which wire is ground and which is power. It is likely that the red/black wire was used as the power wire and the all black wire was the ground.

  • Can a Combined Stop and Turn Signal Circuit be Converted to Separate Circuits
    Yes, there is a special converter, # 118158, that takes the combined circuit and separates out the signals to give you just turn signals and just brake lights on separate wires. You will install this converter on the trailer side, behind the connector. The left turn/brake goes to the yellow wire, the right turn and brake goes to the green wire. Make sure to ground the white wire. On the out put side the red wire is the brake lights only, yellow is left turn only, and green is right turn...

  • What is an ICC Marker Light for a 60 Foot Gooseneck Trailer
    ICC stands for Interstate Commerce Commission. An ICC light is on a switch, though it could also be wired into another circuit such as the running lights. It is basically so that when you flip the switch the marker lights will flash. Typically this was only found on commercial applications (the trucking industry). The ICC was abolished in the mid 1990s. You can look up current regulations as specified for trailers by the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard or FMVSS 108 for the US and...

  • Why are there So Many Different Trailer Connectors and Ways to Wire Them
    If you think we have it bad here in the states try going to Europe where they have a 7-Way that does the same things as our 4-Way and some kind of 13-Way to do what our 7-Way does! In the US the biggest issue is the 2 different ways that a 6-Way round connector can be wired. The center pin will either be for electric brakes or 12 volt power. Usually when the brakes immediately lock up it is because the 12 volt circuit on the vehicle connector or adapter is wired one way and the one on...

  • Wiring a 4-Way Wired Trailer to a Round 7-Way Connector
    When wiring up a connector it is important to wire up everything by function and not color. Wire colors can vary from manufacturers so it is better to verify the function of each wire before installing it. Running both running light wires to the running light circuit will be fine. The main ground wire you ran from the connector to the frame will work to ground all of the circuits. One way you can test the functionality of the circuits is to use a jumper wire from a vehicle battery to...
