13-Pole Connector

Provides six additional tractor-trailer circuits within the dimensions of traditional 7-pole connectors. Adaptable to a wide variety of wiring combinations, including multiplexed circuits. Surpasses SAE J560b performance standards. Conforms to this standard for interchangeability between 7-pole and 13-pole connectors. Distinctive bright yellow identifies 13-pole connectors. Robust glass-filled plastic housings cannot rust or corrode. Ground terminals accept up to 8AWG wire, 7 pole terminals up to 10AWG, smaller 6 pole terminals up to 14AWG.

12300 Socket

Gasket-sealed socket door is spring-loaded and locks onto the plug. Solid brass contact pins. Rain hood extends beyond the pins to protect the interior. The 5º downward pitch drain channel inside the socket reduces water retention. Three mounting holes on the flange: .33" (8.4mm) diameter, 2.93" (74.6mm) on centers. Includes six 31784 crimp-on connectors to mate with the six smaller pole terminals.

81356 Rubber Boot gives added protection to the terminals. Not included.

12301 Plug

Plug locks into the socket, utilizing the spring-loaded socket door. Spring-grip contacts have self-adjusting spring bands to maintain long-term uniform electrical contact with socket pins. O-ring at the plug end prevents water from reaching the contacts. Strain relief and grommet seal isolates the contacts from mechanical strain, and provides extra moisture protection. Cable retainer maintains secure cable connection. Replaceable interior. Includes six 31784 crimp-on connectors to mate with the six smaller pole terminals.
