Semis have 7 pin round with round pins. From: Mathew Howard Sent: Monday, August 6, 2018 8:42 AM To: AFMUG Subject: Re: [AFMUG] OT Trailer plug hell
The 7 pin round connector with flat pins seems to be what's most common these days. I think pretty much any new truck comes with that on it, and most newer trailers seem to have it too (except for small stuff, which still usually has the 4 pin).

I even have a semi truck. Is there a wiring orientation that is more used than the others? I have found so many different socket and plug diagrams that I find it amazing that it has never been standardized. I am going to build a converter so I can plug the semi tractor into some of my other trailers that the the flat blade connectors. It will take an electric brake controller in the semi and some kind of diode box to combine some of the lines. Those are available on the retail market. But the number of connections and the wiring of the connections seems all over the map. Opinions please. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
