Connecting a trailer socket and a towbar for a car or truck, color scheme, pinout

A towbar socket is a device necessary for connecting various signals and ensuring the functionality of the electrics on the trailer: brakes, turn signals, parking lights, license plate lights, etc.

Below we will look at the main types of sockets, talk about connection diagrams and pinout features. We will pay special attention to the purpose of the electronic matching unit and the nuances of connecting the socket.

As an example, we will give the principle of connecting the device to a Chevrolet Niva, a LAV boat trailer, a VAZ-2110 and a number of other vehicles.

Types of trailer sockets

When choosing a socket for a passenger car, pay attention to the types of products.

There are two types on sale (according to the number of cores):

Seven-core (7 PIN). Designed to output external lighting sources and is used for standard cargo trailers. Such a socket, in turn, can be European or American (they differ in connectors). The peculiarity of the European circuit is that all seven wires are involved in it.
13-wire (13 PIN). Unlike the previous type, additional connectors are used here to allow you to connect a caravan trailer and ensure the functionality of all lighting and additional equipment (refrigerator, battery charger, etc.). So, to charge the battery, there is a separate conductor, which goes from the machine’s power source to the towbar socket and is protected by an individual fuse insert.

The 13-wire socket has more functionality and is suitable for many cars from the United States or the EU. But purchasing it will cost a lot, and connecting it will require a higher level of skill.

Sometimes situations occur when the car has a 7-pin socket and the trailer has a 13-pin socket (or vice versa). This is not a problem, thanks to the availability of adapters from 13 to 7 or from 7 to 13.

How to connect a towbar socket

Connecting a towbar socket is not a difficult task, especially if you have such a universal component as a towbar connector. It is convenient when the socket and plug have the appropriate number of connectors. A socket consisting of 7 sockets corresponds to a 7-pin towbar plug, and a socket with 13 sockets corresponds to a 13-pin Euro wiring.

In this case, with the presence of a special connector, connecting the towbar consists of the usual combination of the socket and the corresponding socket. You should first familiarize yourself with the location and appearance of the connected connectors. If they visually match, you can try to attach one to the other.

Connection diagrams (pinout)

When studying the connection diagram for a trailer socket and a car's towbar, it is important to focus on the current GOSTs and rules. They indicate the requirements of government agencies to avoid errors when connecting and operating devices, as well as when checking the electrical connection diagram.

What GOST 9200-76 says

One of the main documents positioning the connection of 7-pin connectors for cars and trucks, as well as tractors, is GOST 9200-76. It was approved and put into operation on January 19, 1976 and is still in effect.

The standard complies with the following ISOs:

1185-75.
3731-80.
1724-80.
3732-82.
4091-78.

Before the advent of GOST 9200-76, the document GOST 9200-59 was in force, but with the advent of new rules it became invalid.

The following types of sizes are considered here:

24 N and 24 S for 24 V voltage;
12 N and 12 S for 12 V voltage.

At the request of the consumer, the use of 12N is allowed on car tractors, as well as trailers and semi-trailers with a voltage of 24 V.

Connector Features:

24 N is equipped with a large socket for 1 contact and 6 small pins. The inner diameter of the 1st contact must be such as to provide the required disconnection force.
24 S also comes with one large 1st contact and 6 smaller ones.
The 12 N has four sockets (pins one, three, four, and six), as well as three spring-loaded pins—pins two, five, and seven. The diameters of the pins must be such that they fit into the plug sockets and provide the necessary force.
12 S provides a special design. This socket is equipped with four sockets (one, three, four and six), one recessed 7th socket (3 mm deeper), as well as a pair of spring pins (second and fifth contacts).

Diagrams and pinouts of 24 S connectors.

GOST 9200-76 pays special attention to technical requirements. In particular, the connector must provide a stable connection at currents up to 40 A. It is important that the pins and sockets do not rotate in their places, and their designation must be applied in a reliable way to ensure good readability.

The permissible temperature rise should not be more than 45 degrees Celsius when the load current is 25% more than the rated one.

Pinout

When connecting the trailer socket and towbar, it is necessary to take into account the subtleties of the pinout. Let's consider each option separately.

7 PIN

7-pin sockets for trailers are used in Russia and Europe. Type - 12 N, ISO 1724.

The designation of the legs is as follows:

Left turn signal (L). Yellow, 1.5 sq. mm.
Rear fog lights or +12 V (54G). Blue, 1.5 sq. mm.
Grounding (“minus”) White/gray, 2.5 sq. mm.
Turn signal right (R). Green, 1.5 sq. mm.
Lamp for illuminating the license plate and marker on the right (58R). Red, 1.5 sq. mm.
Brakes - stop light (54). Red, 1.5 sq. mm.
Left dimension (58L). Black, 1.5 sq. mm.

Simplified diagram.

In the case of the American version of the 7 PIN socket, the placement of the contacts is slightly different. Here the reverse contact connector has been changed, and there is no section on left and right dimensions. In a number of cars from the USA, the dimensions and STOP signals, which run on the same wire, are not separated.

Alternatively, you can assemble a “Russian” circuit. Its peculiarity is that there may be no wire on the PTF, or there will be only one, connected to the 7th pin of the plug. In this case, the 5th contact is not used or is short-circuited by the 7th.

One example of a 7-pin device is the ATE-05 metal socket from the manufacturer Airline. This is the most durable product for a towbar without an elastic boot.

13 PIN

When choosing a 13-pin socket (ISO 11446), the number of connectors is larger, so you need to be more careful when connecting.

Let's look at the main elements:

Left turn signal (1/L). Yellow, 1.5 sq. mm.
Rear fog lamp (2). Blue, 1.5 sq. mm.
Ground connector for terminals one through eight (3/31). White, 2.5 sq. mm.
Right turn signal (4/R). Green, 1.5 sq. mm.
Right side marker and license plate light (5/58-R). Brown, 1.5 sq. mm.
STOP signal lamp (6/54). Red, 1.5 sq. mm.
Dimensions on the left and license plate illumination (7/58-L). Black, 1.5 sq. mm.
Reverse lamp (8). Pink, 1.5 sq. mm.
Constant voltage at 12 V and 35 A (9). Orange, 2.5 sq. mm.
Voltage 12 V and 35 A (supplied after turning the key in the ignition), (10). Gray, 2.5 sq. mm.
"Mass" (11). Black and white, 2.5 sq. mm.
Signal conductor, reserve (12). Light grey, 1.5 sq. mm.
Ground for the ninth terminal (13). Red-white, 2.5 sq. mm.

Having before your eyes the pinout of the trailer and towbar sockets, you can easily make connections and carry out an electrical inspection (in case of a malfunction).

In Europe, 7-pin (ISO-1724) and 13-pin (ISO-11446) connectors are in demand. As you can see from the pinout above, the 13-pin version gives more options and has better protection against water and dirt.

The connectors work on 12V systems, but there may be exceptions for the 7-pin connector. They often operate on 6 and 24 V. Thus, cars and trailers with 6-pin systems can use a 7-5 pin connector.

Pinout of 15 pin connector

This type of connector for connecting trailers and semitrailers is an accepted standard for tractors from almost all manufacturers, including American ones. Considering the requirements for trailers of this class, a standard 13-pin connector is not suitable for powering and controlling their electrical equipment.

Why do you need an electronic matching unit?

Not in all cases it is possible to simply connect the sockets of the towbar and trailer. If the machine has complex electronics, a matching unit will be required.

Its use allows you to avoid errors when testing the operation of lighting equipment and vehicle electrical systems.

In addition, the matching unit is an invariable thing when it is necessary to transmit a signal using a multiplex bus.

The connection diagram is as follows:

Signals from the car are sent to the matching unit.
The latter processes the information.
If there are no conflicts, the signal is transmitted to the trailer of the car or truck.

For correct operation, the unit must be connected to the battery and the wires must be connected correctly (taking into account the pinout).

The connection diagram is shown below.

About installation methods when connecting a tow hitch

The presence of electronics in the vehicle control system allows the use of an electronic coordination unit in the installation of the electrical system for signaling and trailer control. It will monitor and test control signals through a multiplex program.

If the current in the circuits increases, the device will generate an error in signal transmission. Installation and connection to the connector on the tow mechanism is carried out according to a special program with the connection of a matching device in the circuits.

During installation, it is necessary to use a device in the circuits of the machine that will transmit control signals through the matching unit to the towed mechanism, and not through the detachable part in the trailer.

What is needed to connect

Before connecting the trailer socket, you need to prepare and buy the necessary material in advance.

The package includes the following equipment:

Socket cover for tow bar. Please note that there is a cover equipped with a rubber seal. When purchasing, inspect the product for the fit of all casing elements and for the absence of loose housing or contact connections. Pay special attention to the condition of the threaded connection and the fastening of screws to the terminals.
Wire (one core) with a cross-section of 1.5 sq. mm or more. When purchasing, check the possibility of using it in the electrical wiring of a vehicle.
Corrugation made of metal or polypropylene. Used to insulate wire harnesses and protect against mechanical damage. The average length is up to 2.5-3.0 meters. Immediately take 20-30 plastic clamps to secure the harnesses.
Connecting blocks. When choosing, give preference to a model with sockets in which fuses can be installed.
Tools: set of wrenches, drills and bits, screwdrivers, soldering iron, electrical tape.

The specified equipment is usually sufficient for installation work. If something is missing, the scarce elements can be purchased separately.

Step-by-step connection instructions

It is recommended to connect the towbar socket to the car with your own hands without cutting the standard wires, but using intermediate connecting blocks, as when installing factory adapters.

You need to purchase the necessary materials:

the connector itself with a protective cover;
electrical blocks of suitable design;
cable with colored conductors with a cross-section of at least 1.5 mm2;
clamps;
protective corrugation.

Scheme of work:

Cut a piece of cable to the required length with plenty of room for processing the ends.
Remove insulation and tin the wire tails.
Pass the cable inside the corrugated sleeve.
Solder the contacts in the socket body, referring to the socket diagram of the car's tow bar.
Secure the wires in the connecting blocks for the rear lights, also checking their order.
Insulate all connection points and connect the pads to the car's lighting connectors.
Lay the harness to the installation location on the tow bar, secure it and close the holes in the body with plugs.

It is better to use silicone sealant to insulate cable entries into sockets and connectors.

Features of connecting trailers Skif-M1, Skif-M2, MZSA and others

When connecting SKIF trailers, you need to be careful, because the pinout in them is somewhat different from the 7-pin circuit according to GOST 9276 and ISO 1724.

Thus, on the second terminal of the Skif-M1, produced from 1981 to 1987, and Skif-M2, produced from 1987 to 1993, the “plus” of the battery is located, and not the rear fog lamp.

Electrical diagram of the Skif-M2 trailer

In addition, on MZSA trailers, the dimensions are connected only to the 7th contact. This is done for convenience, so that if necessary you can connect to an old domestic car.

The presence of a “+” battery is a big plus when camping, because it can be used to connect lighting. The designation of the contact group has also changed. Instead of the usual Arabic numerals, Roman numerals are given here.

If we talk about earlier versions of Skif-M, they have more differences.

The following scheme was used here:

I—STOP signal;
II - left turn signal;
III — turn signal indicator light;
IV - right turn signal;
V - “plus” of the battery;
VI — rear dimensions and license plate lights;
M is mass.

The circuit provides a matching block that relieves the car's turn signal relay.

To operate this element, constant power is required, supplied through the fifth contact from the battery through the outlet.

The old connectors did not separate the side light contacts and they were supplied only through the seventh contact, and the second was considered a spare one.

A lamp was provided there that allowed you to monitor the operation of the trailer and its turn signals.

When connecting an old trailer to a modern type socket, the turn signal on the trailer hitch will only flash when the lights are on. In addition, the fog light (on some models) and the warning light on the dashboard may flash.

In the case of MZSA trailers, nothing comes of the fifth signal. Therefore, if after connection the lights on the tow hitch do not light up, the reason, as a rule, is that the signal is output to the fifth contact, but there will be no signal on the seventh.

A number of trailer manufacturers in the Russian Federation, when installing a reversing lamp, connect it to the fifth terminal, leaving the dimensions with the seventh contact connection.

About connection methods and types of trailer connectors

To transport cargo trailers, a special traction coupling device is used, made of a powerful power steel structure, which is attached to the rear of the steel platform by an automobile mechanism.
A towbar connection diagram is required, which will ensure safety and compliance with road accident regulations. Many cars provide additional options for the car with a detachable unit: a tow bar socket and electrical wires connecting the power supply and control of the car with an additional traction device.

Basically, motor transport mechanisms are equipped with these devices as an additional service when purchasing a car. The towbar socket can be connected to the car yourself; pinout of the towbar socket and installation of electrical wiring is not difficult to do yourself. Let's look at the trailer connection diagrams and the pinout of the towbar socket.

There are the following connection diagrams for the towbar socket:

Regular Russian standard with a socket for seven groups of connecting contacts;
European and American standard for thirteen detachable connections;
Special connector.

By the way, in Russia and America they also use a method for connecting a towbar with seven and thirteen connectors. Thirteen connections are used in the main connection of electrical wiring in transportable caravans.

When installing and connecting the control circuit for the rear parking devices of a vehicle, you must follow the rules for connecting the socket for a passenger car trailer, the correctness and sequence of operations when turning it on.

You should not perform such operations by poking at the contacts of light devices; a short circuit may occur or the automatic protection of the vehicle control unit may be triggered. And you cannot connect conductors using the twisting method; a poor-quality connection can create an incorrect command, and the devices will be blocked from turning on.

Modern car circuits are equipped with various electronic devices that use electronics, modules, and matching units. Therefore, an additional special connector is included in the complete set of devices.

In the pinout of a truck trailer socket, conductors are used from conductors with a cross-section of 1.5 or 2 mm, more precisely, 1.5 mm will have a total of 6 conductors, 2 mm will have one wire.

The towbar socket with seven connectors has the following pinout structure:

left turn signal;
reverse;
mass 12V;
right turn signal;
right side signal;
Stop signal;
left side signal.

The thirteen-pin detachable towbar socket consists of the following equipment:

left turn indicator;
rear fog lights;
weight in the chain 1,2,4-8;
right turn indicator;
right side signal;
Stop signal;
left side signal;
reverse signal;
+12 V constant;
+12V when the ignition is turned on;
weight in chain 10;
Reserve pin;
weight in chain 9.

Connectors with 13 contacts are characterized by the presence of additional contacts with negative and positive polarity, allowing you to connect additional devices such as cameras, lighting devices, etc.
The detachable connection of the towbar electrical wires with seven and thirteen detachable connections consists of two connecting units: a female socket and a male plug. The towbar socket is mounted on the vehicle next to the towbar mounting point.

The trailer fork is installed with an extended harness of connecting conductors on the trailer in order to create a free docking of the trailer and free installation of electrical wiring.

In cases where a special connector is used in cars with an on-board computer and other electronic devices, it is better to use an electronic coordination unit in the installation of the electrical part of the signal control of the trailer mechanism; in other cases, it is possible to install a manual electrical network for the trailer.

LAV boat trailer pinout

Of particular interest is the pinout of contacts in LAV brand trailers. Let's highlight the features of contacts:

Left turn signal.
Rear PTF.
Weight.
Right turn signal.
Reversing lamp.
STOP signal.
Side and contour lights, room lighting.

Knowing the features of the contact group will help you accurately connect the trailer and towbar socket.

The classification by color and number standardized in the Russian Federation assumes the following contacts:

1 – yellow – left turn signal (code L);
2 – positive contact, rear fog lamp signal (54G);
3 – gray – negative contact, ground (31);
4 – green – right turn signal (R);
5 – brown – right side lamp signal, license plate illumination (58R);
6 – red – brake lights (54);
7 – black – signal of the left parking light (58L).

The second contact is not always involved. When motorists simplify the circuit by combining pins 5 and 7, the parking light function is disrupted. The American circuit just combines these contacts, highlighting the central light source for the reverse signal.

Connecting a VAZ 2110 trailer socket

The VAZ 2110 uses a trailer socket made according to the 12 N, ISO 1724 standard.

There are seven contacts here: two turn signals (first and fourth), fog light (second), ground (third), rear lights and right side lights (fifth), brake light (sixth) and left side lights (seventh).

As in previous cases, wires with a cross-section of 1.5 square meters are used for all contacts. mm, except for the “ground”, which goes to 2.5 square meters. mm.

Direct connection diagrams

They go where the brake lights are. When removing reflective covers, take into account the minimum pressing of the cushioning foam, which serves to prevent dust from being sucked into the interior. Although there are connection diagrams on the Internet, performing this procedure yourself is not so easy. Before connecting, it would be good to study the approaches to the wires. A nuance: on the one hand, cutting the wiring is too lazy, on the other, it’s a pity. Therefore, for the lazy method, connectors with three ends are provided: two with plugs that connect standard devices, and one end with bare wires to the towbar socket.

In addition, you will need additional materials:

Socket with cover.
Switching blocks. They come with fuse sockets.
Wire with a cross section of 1.5-2 mm square. Insulated stranded or single-core wires are used.
Silicone automotive sealant.
Tourniquet. It is a 3-meter corrugated pipe made of plastic or metal.
Clamps for fixing the harness.

It is not difficult to purchase one set. The factory version requires complex switching for the following reasons:

Using a smaller load eliminates melting and short circuits;
Guaranteed proper operation of lighting fixtures.

In theory, 11 wires are placed in a bundle. Since the right and left sides are synchronous, the switching theoretically fits into the usual 7 wires. But in this situation, there are three lamps per core, and this increases the load. There is another way to divide the current into right and left sides. The number of wires, mounting sleeves, and fuses increases. This circuit complies with safety standards.

Niva Chevrolet

When connecting a trailer socket to a Niva Chevrolet, you can use a wiring harness with a trailer hitch (tow hitch) and European accessories 0183 for the specified Avato model. Article - 00001-75045552-00-0.

In addition, this harness is suitable for connecting trailers of other cars with a 7-pin connector, avoiding the use of a bundle of wires with five + two wires.

General facts

As you know, all electrical wiring in a car is hidden under the trim. The part of the wires that is needed to power the trailer, as a rule, runs from the battery to the dashboard. Then it passes through the entire interior to the rear bumper, and exits at a place called the towbar socket .

As for the trailer, everything is even simpler here.
From the trailer lights, the electrical wiring runs along its bottom and is attached to it using special clamps, usually metal. Next it goes to a connection point called the trailer fork .
Assembling a road train is not a tricky task, but problems are still possible. It is impossible to say exactly where to begin the assembly. Please note that the worst option is switching nodes in the car, which can lead to serious consequences.

Connecting a trailer socket to a KamAZ truck

Owners of KAMAZ trucks often ask what type of socket can be used for a trailer.

The main option is a plug device type PS 325-100 for 24 V. The product is designed to transmit electrical signals to side lights, brake lights, turn signals and other elements. They come with 7 and 15 cores.

In this case, 7-core models are conventionally divided into two types - N and S. The first type is very similar to the other models, and the S-type has the appearance of an empty tube.

Pinout:

Mass (Part 4), white.
Left size (G.52), black.
Turn signal on the left (K.75), yellow.
Brakes (3.57), red.
Turn signal on the right (P.74), green.
Right gauge (Kch. 52), brown.
Not involved. You can connect a reverse gear or a portable lamp. Blue.

As an analogue, you can use a 24 V socket manufactured by BAAZ). Its pinout is the same, only the manufacturer is different.

When choosing the original PS 325, pay attention to the following points:

When turning the product over, the lid should not open. It is optimal if it is well spring-loaded and opens only with force from the user.
The pins inside should not dangle.
In the fake, the holes at the base are very small. You can check this using a special wire crimper.
Pay attention to the quality of the internal thread and material. It is very difficult to screw a screw into a fake socket. In addition, the product itself is made of aluminum.

Knowing these points allows you to distinguish a fake from an original and avoid wasting money.

American connecting chips

Many American standards differ from European ones, and trailer hitch socket pinouts are no exception. Here are two types for your reference: 7 and 4 pin connectors.

The 7-pin socket, used in the HOPKINS model range, as well as in other cars (Fig. 8), differs from the European standard practically only in design, which allows, if necessary, replacement with a European analogue.

American 7-pin towbar socket

Designations:

Connecting side lights.
+12 V.
Starboard turning lights.
Brake light control.
Weight.
Turning lights on the left side.
Reverse signal.

Now let's consider a more complex option - a 4-pin connector (see Fig. 9). If you try to replace it with a European 7-pin socket, problems will arise.

4 pin connector

Designations:

Weight.
Control of side lights.
Left side turn signal and brake light control.
Starboard turn signal and brake light control.

As you can see, the difficulty is due to the fact that the turn signals and brake lights are controlled along the same line. There are two ways to solve the problem:

Not entirely correct, but the easiest way: connect directly to the stops and turn signals. Note that in some cars the wiring may not withstand the additional load, so it is better to solve the problem in another way.
This option is somewhat more complicated, but more correct: you need to completely extend the wiring under the European connector. For example, in a Chevrolet Tahoe, to do this you need to remove the instrument panel, find wires with separate signals for the turn signals and brake lights, connect to them by stretching the electrical wires from the towbar socket through the entire interior of the car. You can make the task a little easier if you take the signal for the brake lights from the rear fender; it is displayed there on almost all cars. In this case, you only need to pull two wires.

Types of Truck Lighting Sockets

Often, all new tractors are equipped with two lighting connectors - S and N types. Each of them is responsible for a specific function.

More details about them:

Type N is designed for wiring brake lights and indicators from the truck to the trailer. For example, a DAF tractor unit connects the front fog lights this way.
Type S is used to transmit power to reversing lights, as well as fog lights. For example, a Renault truck tractor has this type of connection.

Their appearance is often no different, but sometimes they can have different colors, for example:

White cover – S.
Black – N.

Despite their similarity, they have specific wiring:

N is equipped with contacts of the same thickness, only the ground connector has a larger diameter.
As for S, its mass resembles the shape of a tube.

In addition to the above sockets, almost every Schmitz, MaZ, DAF or KAMAZ tractor has a 15-pole lighting system, as well as ABS and EBS. The Ford truck tractor is a little different.

Types of lighting sockets are presented in the following video:

15pin lighting socket connection used on trailers and semi-trailers.

This connection of the lighting socket is used on trailers and semi-trailers, and differs from the connection on a tractor only in the color of the wires starting from pin 8.

And this is the dream of any auto electrician: a 15-pin socket with wires secured with an M4 screw. It was found using the original Scania number, but it may be possible to find it from other manufacturers.

Some tips for installing a 15pin lighting socket:

the 15pin lighting socket,

Connect the wires to the 15pin socket from pins 11, 12, 13, 14, 15.

When transporting large cargo that exceeds the volume of the trunk of a passenger car, you cannot do without a trailer. In accordance with traffic regulations, such a device must be properly equipped to ensure safety standards. First of all, this requirement concerns lighting devices, namely, side and turning lights, as well as license plate lights. Accordingly, to supply power and control the equipment, it is necessary to combine the electrical circuits of the cargo trailer and the car; this is done using a connecting chip.

Pin layout in ABS and EBS sockets

No special knowledge is required to connect this type. To successfully implement the plan, it is necessary to pinout the semi-trailer connector.
