Video Transcript for Optronics 7 Pole to 5 Pole Flat Adapter Review
Randy: Hey guys, it's Randy here at etrailer.com. Today we're going to be taking a look at an adapter plug. We get questions a lot about how people can convert a working 7-Pole on the back of their vehicle to work with a 4-Pole or 5-Pole trailer. That can have a lot of needs, either a trailering in its own. Maybe you've got a cargo carrier that has lights on it. Maybe you just got a little hitch cover that you want to illuminate at night, if it's a plug-in type.
This can really help take care of all of those needs.Basically this is going to provide us either a 4-Pole connection or a 5-Pole connection. The 4-Pole connection is going to offer your ground, it's going to have running lights, left turn signal and brake, right turn signal and brake, and the 5th Pole is for a reverse signal. That's going to be really good for marine trailer applications, when we need to lockout our surge coupler so we can back our trailer up. Or, also, if you plan on adding lights to your trailer. Maybe you're in a dark area and you can't see where you're backing your trailer into.
Throwing a couple lights on the back and wiring it so that signal through your Pigtail. Every time you hit reverse on your vehicle, lights will come on the back of the trailer and give you a good way to look around.Now, all in all this has a good, solid feel to it. It's not as heavy as what I felt out of some of the other 4- and 5-Pole adapters here, and it is a split case design. You can see it has that line that goes around, they're screwed together. Some of these are going to be molded.
I think the moldeds are a little bit heavier. They seem to be a little bit more rugged, overall. I like this adapter. I think it's going to work out fairly well. The part that fits into your 7-Pole is going to be brass.
It doesn't have a nickel coating on it. That can lead to a little bit of corrosion issues, but we recommend with all adapters that you use dielectric grease. This is going to give us a barrier and prevent moisture from getting in there. Without moisture, we don't have to worry about that dirt settling in there and causing corrosion down the road. So that's kind of a give or take with me. I'm going to grease anything I use, so I really won't have to worry about it.If you have a shrouded 4-Pole connector, meaning that your ends don't stick out like what our 4-Pole connector do here. It's got more of a black plastic wrap that goes around it. You'll have to trim the side of it as we fit these together. Let me show you here. With that 5-Pole sticking out there, as we stick that on the side of that cover, it is going to interfere. So you'd have to trim that side out. When removing it, ler me put this all the way in. As we remove it, the insert in here tends to move a little bit. You can kind of see how that moves.Now as far as customer reviews you, people really like this. They haven't had any issues that causing any kind of a problem. I like that it's got a nice handle on there. The one thing I think this lacks that we see on some that are very comparable to this one, is going be a tester. Going to be a few red lights that'll come on and indicate to you if you've got a problem, your trailer lights aren't working. It can verify for you that your truck's lights are. So you know your problem's on the trailer side, you basically eliminate half of the problem in the equation.As far as the installation goes, going to be just like a 7-Pole plug. We've got our tab on the top here. That needs to go behind the tab on the door, right in there. Then you'll bring your 4- or 5-Pole in, and that's simply going to plug in. At that point, you've got the lighting and the power heading back to your trailer, so you should be in good shape.Now as far as if I would own this particular adapter versus some of the other ones out there, I'd have to say that I think I'd go with a different one. I'd go with one that had a little bit more option to it, kind of like the Reese here. This is product number 78118. Basically, it's going to be a little bit larger. Both of them are easy to install, but I like the fact that this one gives me a 4-Pole and a 5-Pole option. So regardless of the type of plug I'm using, it's going to go in there without modification. And it does have the LEDs in there, that are going to tell me if my truck's working, if I have a problem. So, all in all, while I think this is a good adapter and it's going to work out in a lot of situations, I think I'd own the Reese before I'd own this one.

Ask the Experts about this Optronics Wiring
- Is there a 7-Way to 5-Way Flat Adapter that as the 5th Pin for Electric Trailer BrakesThe 5-Way flat on most boat trailers goes to an electric reverse lockout on a surge coupler (hydraulic brakes) so the adapters are set up that way. What I recommend is to replace the trailer side connector with a 7-Way such as # A7WCB which is going to cost less than an adapter anyway and you will be able to place the wires at the proper pins so that the electric brakes will work. I have linked a video showing an example installation for you.
view full answer... - Adaptor for Going From 7-Way Blade to 5 or 4-Way FlatSounds like you are looking for the part # A75TB which is a 7-way blade adapter to a 4 or 5-way flat. I attached a review video for more info on it as well.
view full answer... - Adapter to Go From a 7-Way Socket on 2014 GMC Savana to Trailer's with 4- and 5-Way Flat PlugsThere are 2 types of 7-Way vehicle side sockets, both are round, but the difference is the pins. You likely have a blade style 7-Way connector on your 2014 GMC Savana and for a 4- and 5-Way adapter you can use # A75TB. If your 7-Way has round pins and not blade style pins then we have adapter # 118709 which is a 7-Way round pin to 4-Way adapter. There isn't a 5-Way option if the vehicle has a round pin design. I have included a picture showing the different vehicle side 7-Ways for you.

- 7-Way Recommendation for Activating Trailer Brakes on a Trailer with a 5-WayTypically, the 5th circuit of a 5-way is for a reverse light circuit. I have a solution for you, but you will not be able to use the Adapter 7 Pole to 5 Pole Flat # A75TB to activate your trailer brakes as it has an empty port where the brake output circuit would be on your tow vehicle connector. I would recommend you confirm that the fifth circuit on your trailer is actually for trailer brakes. You can do this by tracing the wires back from the connector and see if they go to the brake...

- Does 7-Way to 5-Way Adapter # A75TB Fit 2020 Chevy Traverse 7-WayYes, the 7-way to 5-way adapter part # A75TB that you referenced fits the factory 7-way you have on your 2020 Chevy Traverse.
view full answer... - Will a 7 to 5-Way Adapter Work with an Electric Reverse Lockout On a Surge Brake Trailer CouplerThe center pole on a 7-Way trailer connector is the reverse light circuit. Provided that it is functional on your 2012 Toyota 4Runner, it will work with the electric reverse lockout on the coupler. You can use a circuit tester like # 40376 to determine if the center pole works with the reverse lights. First, apply the emergency brake and chock the wheels. Have someone start the vehicle and keep their foot on the brake and place the truck in reverse. Test the center pin on the 7-Way and...
view full answer... - Solution for Activating 5th Reverse Light Circuit on Trailer's WiringThe fifth circuit that the Adapter 7 pole to 5 pole part # A75TB carries is the reverse light circuit. So as long as the 7-way on your tow vehicle has this circuit activated the reverse light circuit would then carry over to the trailer's wiring. Replacing the 5-way on your trailer with a 7-way like the part # H20036 would also be an option worth considering. I don't like to recommend adapters for long term use as it's basically just another wiring connection which is where most wiring...

Since your boat trailer is equipped with surge brakes, you will not need to install an electric brake controller in the cab of your Tacoma.

For an adapter, using the 7 Pole to 5 Pole flat, # A75TB, that you have referenced would work for you if the Ford has the blade style connector.

- Will the Adapter 7 Pole to 5 Pole Adapter Work On My 2018 Ford F150Yes, the Adapter 7 Pole to 5 Pole Flat # A75TB will work on your 2018 F150. The only requirement is that you have, or are going to add a working 7 way round blade connector on your truck. To use it, just simply slide the adapter into your 7 pole connector. Then the 7 pole becomes a usable 5 pole that will give you all the lighting signals you need, and also helps you to pick up the back up sensor.
view full answer... - 5-Pole Flat Trailer Wiring Harness for 2016 Dodge Ram 1500We do offer wiring adapters that allow a vehicle with one type of trailer connector to tow a trailer with a different connector. All such adapters like # A75TB, which converts a 7-way RV style connector to a 5-pole flat, are shown on the linked page. These are fine for the short-term but since adapters mean more connections - and more connections can mean more problems - I suggest instead a 5-pole wiring kit that plugs right in to the U.S. Car connector at the rear of the Ram. You can...
view full answer... - Reverse Light Circuit Does Not Work on 7-Way on a 2007 Chevy Silverado New BodyIf your trailer brake actuator has an electric lock out on it then you will need a working center pin on the 7-Way that is attached to the reverse light circuit on the truck. Since your truck has a factory 7-Way you can check the vehicle owners manual for the location of any fuses or relays related to the tow package wiring and/or reverse lights to determine if a fuse is blown or missing. I did see that you found the issue was a bent pin inside the connector. I do recommend checking...

This adapter carries the basic trailer lighting functions (running, left/right/stop, and ground) as well as the reverse light function that you need to activate the reverse lockout on your hydraulic actuator. As long as the reverse light function is active on your Ram (center pin) then you are good to go!

In the off chance that the 7-way rounds in Norway are the same as the style here in the US you could use a 7 Way RV-Style (Flat Pin) to 7 Way Round Pin # F77R.

- 7-Way to 5-Way Adapter for Honda Ridgeline to Tow Trailer with 5-Way and Surge BrakesSince the Ridgeline has a 7-way connector already the only thing you need to connect it to the boat trailer with a 5-way is the adapter part # A75TB. All of the needed circuits will be present once this is installed so there would be no need to install any wiring harnesses. I attached a review video for this adapter for you to check out as well.

If the 7-way/4-pole connector on your truck is factory installed, the center pin of the 7-way should already be wired to the reverse lamp circuit of the vehicle. You can test this by having a helper place the transmission of the truck in reverse (while stepping on the brake,...

- Can Optronics 7-Pole to 5-Pole Adapter Also be Used with 4-Way A nice thing about 4-Way and 5-Way connectors is that they are compatible with each other. This means that the Optronics 7-Pole to 5-Pole Adapter # A75TB you referenced will work perfectly to convert the 7-Way on your F-150 for use with either the 5-Way on your boat trailer or the 4-Way connector on the other trailer. I have attached a short video demonstration on this adapter that you can check out as well.

The unit will plug right into the 7-Way on your PIlot and provide a 5-Way connector on the other end. I have attached a short video demonstration on this product that you can also take a look at.

It will leave the 5th pin exposed which can cause corrosion if you will be towing in the rain. Part # 37385 is another option. It has both a 5-Way and a 4-Way with covers to protect them from corrosion.

As long as the 7-way on your 4Runner is fully functional, in most cases the adapter will work just fine for you. If your 4Runner has a bulb out sensor that warns you when you have a burned out taillight, and you are towing a trailer that uses LED taillights, you will need to use an adapter that has a load resistor installed in it, like part # TR20141.

The model 6000 has a manual (lever-operated) reverse lockout but can be fitted with Solenoid Valve # T4748800 to convert it to an electrical lockout.

- Towing a Trailer with a 5-Way Using a Truck with 4-Way and 7-Way ConnectorsThe easiest way is to use a 7-way to 5-way adapter like part # A75TB. It plugs right in and since you already have all the functions on the 7-way you don't need to make any additional wiring connections. On the trailer side you can add a 7-way like part # A10-7W6. You can either cut off the 5-way and replace it or connect the wires together and have both a 7-way and 5-way to use whichever you need. One final option is to use the 4-way and adapt it using part # 20036. This requires...
