Speaker 1: Today we're taking look at a trailer wiring junction box. This is a durable polypropylene box that creates a fast, easy way to connect the wires from the trailer connector to the trailer wiring for either a six-way or a seven-way connector. It also makes replacing your trailer's connector simple, if and when needed.The electrical junction box consolidates all the wiring connections on your trailer. It mounts to a secure area on the trailer frame. Number of terminals that this one has is seven. Comes with a flat washer and nut for each post.Basically the way that you would connect your wires to the post is you would take the wire from the trailer plug, strip it back a little bit, put a ring terminal on it.
And then take the corresponding wire on the trailer, put a ring terminal on it and connect to the same post. And you'd do that for each function.It comes with the hardware kit. So in this bag is the hardware to secure the lid to the box. Also there is strain relief brackets and screws. And it has the rubber plugs.
So you have one, two, three, four, five different access areas for your wiring to feed into. Now some people, what they like to do is remove the plug completely and just have the area for the wiring to be able to pass through into the box. What I recommend doing to keep the elements out - dirt, grime, and moisture - is just to cut an area in the plug itself for the wiring to pass through.And then it has your strain relief brackets and the actual mounting areas for the strain relief brackets. What that does is that puts tension on the wiring that's passing through and reduces any type of stress or strain placed on the actual wiring. So it's nice that those are already included.We'll go over the measurements real quick.
So taking a look at the overall measurements, going edge to edge, mounting area to mounting area. This direction measures about 8 and 1/2 inches. Side to side, going this direction, is about 3 and 5/8 inches. The overall height is about 2 and 1/2 inches. The mount holes on the unit, these mounting tabs right here, these are separated on center by seven and 13/16 inches.That's going to do it for today's look at the trailer wiring junction box..

Durable polypropylene box creates a fast, easy way to connect the wires from the trailer connector to the wiring for either a 6-way or 7-way connector. Makes replacing your trailer's connector simple.The junction box provides adequate room for wiring terminations and weatherproof covering of them. The harness for transmitting power to the trailer is of robust design with LED lights indicating proper power to the various end uses. A stainless steel u-bolt was used to secure the harness to the trailer frame and thereby eliminate stress on the junction box. Stainless steel machine screws were used to attach the Breakaway Battery Box to the trailer frame. A stainless steel quick connect will be used to secure the Breakaway switch to the vehicle. The red lead supplies 12 volt power to the Breakaway battery.
All new wiring on a trailer rebuild. These junction boxes make the job so much easier and faster. Now when i troubleshoot wiring issues im chasing one wire at a time. Oh and now the wiring goes in a location that works for me
I sold the trailer,but could not return electrical. No hard feelings.
An inexpensive but very nice unit. Quality of fasteners could be better and should have come with 2 nuts per post instead of one. Do not like the lag bolts for fastening the cover. And what should have been a sticker for identification of posts was not a sticker. Other than that, the box works.
This is the mechanism to rewire an elderly auto hauler, that has wiring faults.
Better to spend the $$ and do the job correctly, than faulty shortcuts. The old Junction mechanism is not viable. This should fit the bill.
Will comment further after the dasterdly deed has been done
The junction box is identical to the one I managed to destroy while hooking up my trailer. It was just a matter of pulling the old box out and screw in the new one
Nice junction box. Used this as a junction/access point for my ‘18 Equinox flat tow setup. It houses my 5way conductors for tail lights, the Roadmaster battery charge line circuit breaker and fuse lead to my accessory +12v port that I’ll plug my Brake system into. Also added a cut off toggle switch on the charge line when not in use.
Awesome piece of equipment!! EXACTLY what I was needing!! Replaced the old torn up box and this box worked perfect!! Fast shipping and great communication, as usual!! Thank you etrailer!!

One year later and the box is still holding up strong! Great product!
solved the nasty wire mess problems,, you have bolts to tie each ring terminal to...
have been satisfied with everything that we order from e-trailer
works great for my trailer.
Doing business with Trailer is good.
Correct product at a fair price.
1 1/2 days from phone call tilll delivered. What else could you ask for, that was fast!!!
Very happy with products installing tomorrow but package was on time and arrived in excellent condition
This is an excellent junction box.
It worked out well. Better than trying to just splice on a new plug & cable.
cleaned up my wiring, nothing spectular
Worked as advertised.
Beside using these boxes on trailer tongues, they're also handy at the rear of trucks. Heavy duty trucks also use seven wires. Different plug, round pins. I've used similar boxes to tidy up the wiring on many big vehicles. These seem to be decent quality at a fair price. I got this one to add a trailer connection on a school bus converted to a camper. It was shipped promptly, UPS sat on it for a few days.

A year later, all is well.
Great products delivered on time. Professionally packaged, not seen often.
Works well, like the connections out of the weather
Trailer sits outside 24/7, always bone dry inside. I put a little silicone around the rubber grommets for good measure.
The terminal box is handy little item to have when wiring a new 7 way plug on your trailer.
I have not installed yet, but the product arrived in good condition. There are lots of options for installation and lots of grommets for the wiring to access the terminals.
Just what I was looking for, needed to rewire my Army truck tail lights and this box fits a treat. and is the size that I can hide from the rivet counters. Thanks again and other items I have had from you in the past.
