Hi,

The ESCO 7-Way Trailer Plug Holder # ES94FR is designed specifically for a standard 7-way RV-style trailer plug. It provides a secure place to store the trailer connector when it's not connected to the tow vehicle and also includes a spot to clip the breakaway cable.

It is not designed to hold an SAE connector. SAE plugs are much smaller and use a completely different shape, so they will not fit securely in the holder the way a 7-way RV plug will.

If your trailer has both a 7-way RV connector and a separate SAE plug, the # ES94FR will work great for the 7-way connector, but you would need a separate mounting solution for the SAE plug.

Are you looking to store just the 7-way connector, or are you trying to keep both the 7-way and an SAE plug secured in one location?

I just fastened it to my Gen-Y Hitch Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel Pin Box and it works great with my 7 wire plug.
