This is the plug that I needed for my Massey Ferguson tractor. Couldn’t find it locally.

The parts arrived quickly and look to be good quality l won't be using them for a while yet
by: Dave 02/10/2020
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.

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

Was exactly what I Wanted!
by: Ed P.09/09/2017
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.

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.

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

It came exactly as described, and in a timely manner.
by: Sartor07/10/2017
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: Ian H. 06/15/2015
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.

Had to replace old connection that was worn out not working correctly. Fit perfectly.
Thanks for your help !!!

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: Dave Straub07/06/2019
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.

- What is an ICC Marker Light for a 60 Foot Gooseneck TrailerICC 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...
view full answer... - Could a 7-pin European Connector be Adapted to a Nato 12 Pin Trailer ConnectorI am sure there is a way to do it. We don't carry either style of connector though so I wouldn't have any parts I could recommend. You would need to track down the two connectors you would need. One that would plug into the your Range Rover and then one that would plug into your 12 pin Nato connection. You would need to also get wiring diagrams for both plugs and wire them by function to each other. I attached a couple pictures that should be helpful

- Wiring a 4-Way Wired Trailer to a Round 7-Way ConnectorWhen 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...
view full answer... - Brake Lights on 2012 Semi Trailer Work But Not Brake Lights on 2004 FreightlinerSince 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...
view full answer... - Can a Combined Stop and Turn Signal Circuit be Converted to Separate CircuitsYes, 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...

- Wiring # PK11700 Pollak 7-Way Trailer ConnectorThe white wire is typically ground, you can confirm this by checking to see if it connects directly to the trailer frame. Your yellow wire is usually the left turn and brake lamp, green is right turn and brake light. The yellow/black and green/black are running lights, with the green/black running down the passenger side and the yellow/black running down the drivers side. You can confirm this by using a car battery, grounding the white wire to the negative terminal, and applying 12-volts...
view full answer... - Wiring a 7-Way Round Pin European Trailer ConnectorUsually 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.

- Trailer Wiring Harness is Funtional Except Trailer BrakesSince every other function works, my guess is the brake magnet wires have a problem. One wire from each assembly magnet should be wired to the brake controller wire. The other should be grounded. Since they work when you provide an alternate ground via the tester, I assume the ground is the problem. The first thing I would do is check these grounds. The closer the ground connection is the the brake assembly the better. There may be a break or a pinch on the brake wire going from the trailer...

I will list the typical heavy duty truck wiring connections inside the plug on the trailer side for you. At the index guide for plugging the trailer end in to the vehicle end the pin directly below will be the ground connection. Going clockwise the pin in the 1 o clock position is for 12 volt power the pin in the 4 o clock position is the left turn signal and hazard the pin in the 6 o clock position is...

- Power Rating of Pollak Heavy-Duty, 7-Pole Trailer Wiring Connector, Part # PK11700The 40 amp continuous rating refers to the whole plug, not each individual circuit that it can carry.
view full answer... - Is it Normal to Only See 9 Volts on the Output Circuit of a Brake ControllerBrake controllers allow you to vary the voltage applied to the trailer brakes to allow for different braking power. If the controller is set to it's max output voltage it should be right at 12 volts. Be sure to have the vehicle running too so that you don't see any voltage drop off just from the alternator. If the controller has it's gain turned all the way up and it's only at 9 volts then that would indicate you have an internal problem and the controller would need to be replaced. I...
view full answer... - Why Would Trailer Brake Controller Circuit Always have Pulsing Signal On CircuitThe 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...
view full answer... - How Many Volts Should I Get to the Trailers Brakes When Pressing the Brake PedalYou 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.
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Trailer Wiring that Stops Working With Headlights onTry improving the connection of the main ground wire of the trailer wiring harness. Make sure it is attached to a clean metal surface. Or you can run all of the trailer wires back to the main ground. This is actually the ideal solution. But you can also check the current grounds for the lights to make sure they are making a solid connection to a clean metal surface. What you described is the classic insufficient ground scenario so finding a way to improve the grounds will fix the problem.

- Troubleshooting Gooseneck Trailer that Has no Trailer Brakes After Using 7-Way to 6-Way AdapterFor 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.
view full answer... - What is the Function of the Red Wire on a Pollak 7-Way Trailer Connector/Wiring HarnessOn 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.
view full answer... - Wiring Trailer Brake Magnet with 1 Black Wire and 1 Red/Black WireOn 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.
view full answer... - How to Determine Wire Functions on a Tandem Axle Dump TrailerTrailers 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...
view full answer... - Why are there So Many Different Trailer Connectors and Ways to Wire ThemIf 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...
view full answer... - Brakes Lock Up On Trailer When Plugged Into 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500I am almost certain that the issue is that the connector on your 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500 and the one on the trailer are pinned out differently. I have included a picture that shows how a vehicle and trailer side 7-Way are wired (ignore the colors and go by function). It sounds like the brake output pin on the trailer is matched up with the 12 volt pin on the truck. As soon as you plug in the trailer the brakes will be getting 12 volts so they lock up. All you have to do is configure...

- Troubleshooting Flickering Trailer Running Lights CircuitMost likely the problem is a slightly dirty trailer connector. You will need to take some fine grit sandpaper to the running light circuit of your trailer wiring harness on your vehicle and trailer to clean off any dirt or corrosion that would cause an intermittent connection. I attached a help article on troubleshooting trailer circuits for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - How to Determine Trailer Wire Functions When Rewiring ConnectorIt's pretty hard to say what the extra circuit would be since wire colors aren't always consistent among vehicles/trailers. Since you have what sounds like a trailer your best option would be to use a jumper wire from a 12 volt battery like from a car to apply voltage to all of the wires to see what activates on the trailer and then wire it accordingly to your new connector.

- Troubleshooting Trailer Brakes that Lock Up When Trailer Connector is ConnectedIt sounds like the 12 volt accessory circuit has either been ran to the brake output circuit or it is shorting out to it. Most likely the problem is on the trailer wiring side of the equation as it looks like your truck is brand new. If you check out the diagram I attached you will see how a 7-way connector is typically wired for you to compare to the 7-way on your trailer. To check for shorts you would need to go over the wiring of the connectors looking for any bare wire that might...
