Product so far has worked great for a pinched/cut OEM 7pin cord. It isnt weatherproof like an OEM connector to the cord-as well as the female end of the connector but then its just the connector so totally sealed is not the design for this. It works fine & currently has saved me from having to purchase a connector & wire cord as 1 piece & some shennagins with installing that set up.

Product is working fine after a year of use of several connectsdisconnects every month. Connections are solid. No failures to pass powersignals. Very satisfied!



by:

Dunno It took 36 hours from "shipped" email until it left the Wentzville P.O. this morning. Don't think it will get the other 400 miles by tomorrow morning.

It looks like it was delivered. Can you please confirm whether it was actually delivered?



by:

Used this for a 12V diesel pump.



by:

I ordered this as a replacement part for my hay trailer. It’s exactly what I needed.



by:

Sooo, bought another one to match my truck side connection as GM uses Pollak, which are known to not play well with other brands. The design is just a wire clamp to wire it, which I did with the first one, but trying to get it secured I stripped out the screw. There are no torque specs provided. I’ll move to crimped ring terminals on this one and dial back the torque a bit.



by:

Used as a replacement for original connector that didn't have a positive fit. This one clicks in and provides confidence of a snug fit.



by:

Routine trailer maintenance. Absolutely nothing worse than fighting trailer lighting or electric brake issues when traveling.



by:

Exact product that I was expecting. Quality trailer connector.

Still working as intended. No issues.



by:

Very nice replacement part



by:

I installed this connector on my travel trailer. The original connector had become loose and would fall out if not retained by the tab on the bottom of the connector. After a year of usage The Pollack connector still snaps into place and fits tight. Good product.



by:

Using this product to replace inputs from a straight-4 hookup plus add'l wires from a supplemental light system for my truck. Works exactly as advertised; saves me a lot of hassle. Installer must have some rudimentary electrical-connection knowledge.

You must also know which of the seven contacts does what for your vehicle to install this correctly; should be in your car/truck's manual.

Four instead of 5 stars just because the entrance/exit hole for wires needs supplementation to make it water-tight.

Product is easily worth the money and functions exactly as one would expect.



by:

I have this same plug (PK 12706) on the Boat Trailer and it works perfect, and never disconnects or shorts. Now I'm putting this same plug on the Snowmobile Trailer. I'll let you know if I have any problems. Anything to do with trailer issues I always contact eTrailer Company first.
Thanks,
Ron



by:

Not sure if this one is defective or what but all of the blades are very loose. Haven’t wired up yet so I don’t know if it will work or not. Disappointed in product. Expected better from Pollak 12706. Have a Hopkins and all blades are tight.

Huh, that is odd. Luckily, this connector comes apart. You should be able to use the set screws and be able to tighten up the blades. For now, let me get you over to customer service.



by:

Works well.



by:

The terminals are a little to small and lightweight for heavier wires.



by:

It's a good plug and easy to wire with internal screw terminals. However, there's no real weatherproof seal to the cable or bundled wiring that you're inserting into the plug. It's going to get wet inside the plug, leading to possible short circuits unless you seal the cable entry well with RTV or dry it out regularly and/or take it apart once and a while to make sure there's no corrosion on the terminals. A lot of plugs are like this which is why the manufacturers use a molded plug/cable assembly for the trailer connector cable.



by:

Great jack for the money! Much better than the jacks that come on most utility trailers that wear out quickly.



by:

Works perfectly and plugs in just fine to original equipment



by:

Quality product, reasonably priced, I keep a extra one to have on hand.



by:

Showed up in acceptable condition, refused order. Parts missing. Have not heard back yet for replacement of order

That is not good! I have sent your information over to our customer service department for them to get you your missing parts.



by:

the proses was so easy and great pricing



by:

Item arrived on time and was as described on the website.



by:

This was a great deal. I was switching from and old style 6 pin. What I really like was the size of the wire clamps and screws. Because of this I was able to fit 10 gauge wires in the 12V +-locations for better/ faster battery charging in my camper while driving.



by:

Works great



by:

Parts work gread! I use this one with a receptacle on my Kubota tractor for powering my utility trailer electric brakes and for an auxiliary power outlet for my 16 gallon electric sprayer

Continues to work well...both for the trailer and the sprayer rig.....

  • How to Connect a Charge Line to a 7-Way Connector
    Yes, you can. You will want to connect one end of the ground wire to the Pollak Black Plastic, 7-Pole item # PK12706 and the other end to your cars battery or a suitable grounding location nearby. You'll have to have a ground connected to your Camry for the Battery Charge Wire Kit item # DM66VR to work with the 7-way connector. You will want to use a 12 gauge wire like item # 12-2-1. I have linked a wiring diagram below that will help you find the correct locations on the 7-way to connect...

  • Truck Bed Wiring Harness For 2019 Ford F-250 Super Duty For Slide-In Camper
    To connect to the plug on your 2019 Ford F-250's truck bed camper, what you will do is use a 5th wheel/gooseneck wiring harness. The best location really depends on the camper, but most find positioning the harness towards the rear of the bed (closer to the tailgate) to be difficult because of limited clearance, so further forward in the bed would be the better option. For that you'll want a longer, 10 foot plug-in harness: - Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness w/ 7-Pole Connector...

  • Replacing 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector With a 7-Way Blade Connector
    First you will need to select either a 7-Way Connector # PK12706 or the 7-Way Molded Trailer Wire Connector # HM20285 which is the one I recommend. I feel this is better as the connector is sealed and the wiring connections inside the connector are superior to the screw type with the first option. The 2 white wires are your ground wires, the 2 brown are your running light wires, the yellow with brown stripe is your left turn signal/brake light and the green with the brown stripe is your...

  • Slide In Truck Camper Charging Circuit For Coach Battery
    For charging and maintaining your battery in your overhead camper you will need to add a charge line circuit. Most slide in campers will tie into the vehicle either through a 4-way or 7-way into the truck bumper. If your camper is connected through a 7-way you will need to find the termination box for the plug. If you find your connection box you can tie into the 12V power wire on 7-way circuit. I recommend using the 12 V DC Battery Charger # MA99JR. You can tie the charger into your...

  • Availability of Jacketed Wishbone 4-Pole Trailer Wiring Harness
    We do offer 4-pole wishbone wiring harnesses like # A35W42B and jacketed 4-pole wire such as # DW04923-1. We do not have a jacketed wishbone 4-pole trailer harness but you can certainly provide protection to a 4-pole wishbone harness - and keep the ability to run the separate running light wires to each side of the trailer - by using wire loom like # 39035 which is sold in 10-foot lengths.

  • How to Inspect Ground Circuit of Trailer Wiring
    Trailer lights ground in a couple ways. Sometimes they ground through the mounting hardware which basically means it's ground through the trailer frame to the ground wire of the 7-way connector or they lights are grounded with a wire that runs back to the trailer connector directly. Since the stoplight/turn signals aren't working it's most likely related to the main ground harness of the trailer connector. On the connector in the 5:00 pin position is the ground circuit.

  • Adding a 7-Way Trailer Connector to a Trailer
    So you have added a 7-Way trailer connector to your truck and now you want to add one to the trailer. There are a couple of options that you could employ. First, you could just use a 7-Way trailer connector only such as # PK12706, no wiring, and attach the wires from the old connector and the new wires as needed. Or you could use one that has a wire lead coming out of the back of it such as # H20043 (wire functions listed on its product page). You could also use # HS381-9000 which comes...

    The 2-Wire Trailer Adapter for Go Power Portable Solar Kits # GP72VR is specifically for Go Power solar panels so if you don't have one of those then I don't recommend using this. It sounds to me like you are wanting to use your vehicle's 7 way trailer connector to charge your towed vehicle's battery. If your 7 way already has a pin that has 12v when the vehicle is running then you can simply use that circuit (usually it is the 1 o'clock pin on 7 way). If you don't already have a 12v...

  • How to Plug Lance Camper With Lance Plug Into 7-Way Blade on Truck
    I do have a solution, but since Lance has their own plug design there are no adapters that will work, including the # 47595. The best option is to replace the lance plug with a standard 7-way blade connector like the # PK12706. This will eliminate the need for an adapter since you can plug it in directly after replacing the connector.
