Designed with a tighter fit and tolerance than in legacy connectors, EZ Connector’s new adapters mitigate the “wiggle” in the legacy plug end of the adapters to improve the electrical contact. The adapters are an ideal interim solution for the industry – both with individuals who may need to tow another’s trailer with a legacy electrical connection and businesses who want to gradually convert their legacy systems to the high-quality EZR7 system.
“We are pleased to offer the truck equipment industry our new adapters, which allow users to experience the many safety and reliability benefits of our EZR7 without having to immediately convert all of their vehicles and towing implements to our water- and corrosion-proof electrical connection system,” said Joe Cardoza, President of EZ Connector.
The EZR7 electrical connection system ensures that electrical components such as lights and brakes work every time a trailer or other equipment is towed. Available in several models including traditional and fifth-wheel versions, the EZR7 is designed as a universal configuration that can adapt to a variety of applications. Unlike the common blade plugs available in today’s market, the patented EZR7 uses spring-loaded face-to-face contacts so that drawbacks such as arcing and contact abrasion from frequent cycling are eliminated. The combination of spring-loaded pins and fixed contacts also allows for electricity to easily pass from socket to plug, and mitigates problems such as voltage drop due to increased electrical resistance and the resulting open-circuiting of brakes and lights.
In addition, the EZ Connector product is the only vehicle-trailer connector that has been Society of Automotive Engineers tested and certified as waterproof and corrosion-resistant when in use, given its built-in double o-ring seals. EZ Connector uses neodymium magnets to hold the plug and socket together rather than a latch. The sheer strength of these magnets provides additional support for keeping the plug and socket affixed in a variety of situations including vibrations, abrupt movements and bumpy road conditions, while allowing for both plug and socket to immediately release in case a user forgets to disconnect the trailer from vehicle.
The EZR7 adapters are expected to retail in the $30 range, while the EZR7 system is available for less than $100. For more information, purchase locations and selling opportunities please visit the company’s website at www.ezconnector.com or call the company at +1-559-686-5889.
