6-WAY RECEPTACLE

6-WAY RECEPTACLE

The 6 way female plug is commonly used on the trailer side for transferring 6  way power from the truck to the trailer it's connected too. The wires are wired up to the terminals on the plug giving it power to transfer to the trailer when it's plugged in. Little set screws inside the plug secure all the wires to the correct terminals for proper distribution of power to each wire. On the plug there's an external set screw that clamps down to the insulated bundle of wires holding it in place; and keeps the wires from being pulled out of the terminals from road vibration or debris hitting the insulated bundle of wires. 

PLEASE NOTE: Whenever you're swapping one of these plugs out; it's imperative to take a picture of what color wire goes to what terminal in order to make sure it functions correctly once the new plug is wired up. If you're not familiar with how they are wired; the picture will help you wire it up correctly rather than pulling it apart and not knowing what color wire goes to what terminal.
