Question:

Hello I need an adapter to go from a 6 pin round female connector to a 5 pin round male connector. This is for a motorcycle trailer.

Expert Reply:

It sounds like you need to go from the 6-Pole, Round Pin Connector # PK11604 to a 5-Pole, Round Pin Socket # PK11502. This would require making an adapter using the 6-Pole, Round Pin Socket # PK12720 and 5-Pole, Round Pin Connector # PK11501. If I have this backwards then just use the other parts listed above. It gets confusing with these connectors since you have male connectors inside a female connector so you never really know which one they are referring too. You can use some of the Jacketed Wire # DW04906-1 to connect these together.
