When you're dealing with high-power applications like charging batteries or powering heavy equipment, you need a connector that can handle the load. The Pollak 2-Pole Socket Connector is rated for a whopping 200 amps, making it ideal for demanding tasks like charging trailer batteries or operating winches. You'll appreciate the reliable performance this connector delivers, even during intensive use.
No more fiddling with incompatible wire sizes. This socket connector's design accommodates both 4 and 6 gauge wires, providing the flexibility you need for various trailer and vehicle applications. Whether you're setting up a trailer hitch or powering auxiliary components, this feature simplifies your wiring tasks and ensures a solid, efficient connection.
Durability is key when you're frequently attaching and detaching heavy-duty cables. This connector is built with robust materials, ensuring it stands up to intense use and harsh conditions over time. It's engineered to withstand outdoor environments so you can rely on it for year-round use without worrying about quick wear or failure.
Secure connections are crucial for maintaining consistent power flow and preventing electrical issues. With the Pollak 2-Pole Connector, attaching wires is straightforward with ring terminals. Just crimp the terminals onto your wires and secure them with the included screws for a connection that's both strong and easy to make. This setup reduces the chance of accidental disconnection and ensures reliable power transfer.
Finding the perfect spot for your connector in a crowded engine bay or tight trailer setup is no small feat. Thanks to its compact dimensions—3-5/8" top to bottom and 3-3/4" side to side—this connector takes up minimal space while providing maximum utility. Its thoughtful design makes it easy to integrate into your existing setup without major modifications.
While no specific shielding boot is available, you can use standard protective methods to guard your setup. Opt for simple but effective solutions like electrical tape to wrap and protect the terminals from harsh elements and corrosion. Simplicity meets effectiveness in keeping your connections safe and reliable over time.

Today, we'll be reviewing part number PK12801. This is the Pollak 2-pole socket connector. This is rated for 200 amps, providing six to 24 volts. This will accommodate four or six gauge wires. It's going to be made from a cast aluminum construction. If you need a mounting bracket, you can purchase one separately, found on etrailer.com with part number PK11771. See here that the lid is a nice spring-loaded lid so it's always going to make sure that our connection points on the inside are protected from the elements.
Back here, the two connections, we have positive and negative so they're labeled on the outside. They're also going to be labeled on the inside. The holes are going to measure half an inch across by three-eights of an inch up and down. Each holes going to be identical. Those are going to be your mounting holes. That's going to do it for today's review of part number PK12801.
This is the Pollak 2-pole socket connector. .
i am disabled this was ordered to hook up lift and is what i planed to use it jn the installation of same
Easy to install. The contacts are not dirty or corroded, even after Months of not using the outlet.
I am going to use this to power my new electric boat winch. I have not actually loaded my boat yet but in getting it all set up this plug will work perfectly. I made a mount that will hold both this plug and the 7 pin plug for the trailer. I was surprised as to how stout these plugs are, look like very good quality.
Works as it should. No problems.
We mounted these on our fleets pickup trucks to allow us to hook a trailer mounted winch right into the truck battery easily. The product has been outside and used multiple times and shows no sign of wear or deterioration after 1 year. We are very pleased.
This is a great product. I use it for powering my electric boat winch with the truck. No more carrying an additional battery for the winch.
When I put my Torquelift SuperTruss on, I have made an extension with this and have it on the end of the extension so I do not have to climb under the camper to hook up the power.
product is great quality, very fast shipping. would highly recommend, will visit site when i need trailer parts.

quality product still excellent working condition.
I've been looking for a connector for 2 4 ga wires for 9 mo. I know I'm not the only one trying to do this, I have ran into several people at stores looking for the same thing with no results. I found this one looks like it'll fit the bill for connecting my trailer to my tow vehicle with wiring large enough to actually charge the trailer battery. It came fast, and was all I had expected. I also bought the trailer side connection and the bracket to mount it with. Should be an awesome set up thanks to etrailer
Excellent quality, really heavy duty. Exactly what we were looking for. It arrived a day early
Used this product to transfer power to my fifth wheel
It was installed in the back of my 3500 ram beside the factory connector
The parts are heavy duty and the service was quick.

This plug is heavy duty and built well.
Good product. My only complaint is the spring that holds the door down is weak. The door is also the "catch" that retains the cord, so it needs to stay firmly against the top of the cord, and this one doesn't always do so.
Very good quality and heavy duty. Much better than plastic connector. Should last for years.
Two pole connectors are difficult to find. etrailer had exactly what I needed.
Kept me informed of shipping, back order information and everything else in a timely manner.
Was a perfect replacement for the old burned out lights on my Featherlite stock trailer!!!
Pollak is my go to manufacturer for trailer electrical needs. The build affordable and robust items.
Well made socket, reasonably priced, but shipping is very slow!!!!
Very good quality products. Extremely fast shipping. Would recommend to others to use this company
Is a great products, shipping fast. Thank you so much
Just what I needed to charge trailer batteries. Thanks
