New
features with EZ-Connector; they've always come with
dummy plugs to keep the connector ends clean and give you
somewhere to store your trailer plug. Well now the female end
comes with a self-closing door instead of a dummy plug and the
storage end for the male plug has a self-closing door. The truck
end (female plug) door has an over size O-ring to keep the
connector pins clean. It also has metal embedded in the door for
the earth magnet to draw the door closed for a better seal. The
powerful earth magnet in the center of the plug is the magic
that keeps the trailer connection tight. Now the magnet is
covered with a rubber membrane.

Picture above is what I tour the
country with going to horse expo's. All my trailers have EZ-Connector,
and my trailers go through blizzards, black ice and torrential
rains 25-30k a year.
What
is your #1 problem when towing? The majority of folks I ask that
question say, trailer wiring, not sure if lights or brakes are working.
If you have to wiggle your trailer plug it get the lights to work, you
know there's a problem. If you hit a bump or drive in the rain, you may not have
taillights, blinkers or even trailer brakes. New to towing you may not relate how wonderful the EZ Connector
is. If you are a veteran trailer dude or dudette and spent time with
that little screw driver redoing your trailer plugs after they pulled
apart or using your knife to scrape the crap (corrosion) off the trailer
plug blades and of course using the straight edge screw driver to bend
the blades so they will connect to the male plug, you'll relate to a
better way. Trailer brakes in general need monitoring and maintenance
more than any other part of your trailer for safety reasons. EZ-Connector
will make the wire connection issue one thing less to worry about (when
brake lights and blinkers aren't working and you don't know it.) Those
of us that tow trailers every week, know how many times we drop the
coupler on the ball and plug in the wire connection (and wiggle the
connection for contact.) And what we used to do (picture right) to make
the lights work (bungee cord and duck tape.)
EZ
is a powerful earth magnet connection, with a face to face brass spring loaded
contact, eliminating voltage drop instead of a friction blade contact of
the RV 7 pin plug. Just get the male end near the female plug and "pop"
it sucks together. A tab slot align the socket and plug to match the
right connections. The male end has two silicone o-rings, the cables
have water absorbing wadding inside in the middle and above the wires, all to make the system
water proof. Similar to underground telephone cable, if water gets in a
hole, the wadding swells up to block the water. If you can keep the water out, you can keep the mud and all
the corrosive chemicals used to dissolve ice on the highway out. http://ezconnector.com/
I've
had trailers along time. Spent my share of nights with a flashlight in
my mouth in the rain as I work on trailer lights. Fuel injection and
electronics make our trucks more trouble free, now trailer wiring and
electronics make tracing trailer wire problems a breeze. This is an ideal electrical
connection for snow plows and farm machinery. I remember my big round
balers and the guidance electrical system wiring exposed to all the dust
and corn planters have sophisticated monitors that all could use a
weatherproof electronic connection.
Because the EZ
Connector is magnetic, it's a no brainer to understand that the system
will breakaway if your trailer cable gets tangled or you forget to
unplug it when unhooking your trailer. Right top picture shows the dummy
plugs to keep dirt and water out of the EZ-Connector when you aren't
using them. This is quality all the way. When you first look at EZ
you'll be impressed that it's made to last with trouble-free function. And
made in the USA with a Lifetime Warranty.

interview at SEMA 2011, waterproof trailer
connection, oil rings and cord keep the dirt and
water out, earth magnetic holds the connection
together tight.
Picture
left, inside of the plug is done right, you can see the crimped
connectors, silicon O-rings and the indention for the cord
O-ring. Picture right, the cord O-ring seals the plug. The
cord has a wadding in the center that absorbs water so water
can't follow the wires into the plug. On other plugs you don't
see where the water comes into the plug through the cord and
rots the inside of a typical plug.
According to Joe Cardoza (the big cheese at
EZ) inside the truck socket, the cable is crimped three times. It is
also reinforced with a stainless steel hog-ring on the inside to take
any strain. Every unit is 100% tested, not a sample testing as is
common in the electronic industry. With the T-connector I used
for a factory tow package, it only took 15 minutes to install on my
truck. EZ-Connector also has a hard-wired version if you don't have a
factory tow package on your truck or SUV. Bottom line, yes it's
expensive, but you buy more expensive aluminum trailers for a reason.
Quality is never cheap, being a farmer for decades means I'm naturally
frugal. But I'd have no problem shelling out over $100 for this trailer
wiring system. Piece of mind and safety have value. For more: http://ezconnector.com/
Nice box
The cables, dummy
plugs, wire connectors, heat shrink wrap and mounting bracket
Quick T-plug for
factory truck tow harness. A sealant is injected into the wire
harness
Seven floating spring-loaded
pins in the socket, with powerful magnet in the middle. Trailer
plug has fixed pins
Comes with butt connectors and
heat shrink tubes for sealing the individual trailer wire
connections and the whole wire harness
I
tow dozens of new trailers each year for reviews and have adaptors for 7
blade to 6 pin and 7 RV blade to 4 pin. Semi truck
connections will be out latter.
I mounted the socket under my old
style RV 7 blade. I want to long term test the EZ in the road
chemicals and sand that my truck tows trailers in
You can see the triangle I had
to cut out for the Ford factory connection in the socket
EZ Connector just snaps into the
factory wire loom connections, part of the factory tow option
I bolted the bracket to my
factory socket bracket on the receiver hitch frame
You can see the back side of the
EZ socket, 4 screws and sealed, just says "quality"
Don't do this at home. I need to
use my old plug so I wired the new one into my old cable
Rubber tape makes covering the
wire connection easier
When EZ-Connector comes out with
the plug adaptors, I'll do this right and get rid of my old
socket.....
and use the butt connectors and
heat shrink tubes that come in the EZ box
Now I have two trailer cables,
and three trailer sockets on my truck, but I test things, it's
ok
News
Just out: EZ-Connector 7 pin RV plug adaptor, so now you
can use EZ-Connector on all your trailers and tow vehicles. You
can buy a plug or socket to use your old wiring system until you
switch all your trailers and trucks over to the "Last Trailer
Plug You'll Ever Buy." The EZR7 is backward-compatible male
and female adapter with a tighter fit and tolerance than
conventional 7-blade connector.
