Wabco 4497140870 Connecting Socket with Cable

Description

The Wabco 4497140870 Connecting Socket with Cable is a vital component within air brake systems, specifically EBS Cables. This socket serves as the connection point for sensors within an ABS system. It features a 2-pin sensor socket on one end and an open 2-strand cable (2 x 0.75 mm²) on the other. Measuring 35 x 352 x 360 mm, this device is designed to meet OE specifications, ensuring reliable performance and seamless integration within the vehicle’s braking infrastructure. Its robust construction and precise engineering contribute to enhanced safety and efficient brake function.

Key Features & Benefits

This socket and cable are all about communication. It’s the point where the signal travels from the wheel speed sensor up to the EBS control module. Basically, the sensor at the wheel reads how fast the wheel is turning and sends that information through this socket, along the cable, to the computer that manages your brakes. It handles both power and the data signal, so it's a two – way street. Think of it as a vital link in your ABS and stability control systems. It’s how the computer ‘knows’ what each wheel is doing. Without accurate information from these sensors, the system can't react properly in a skid, or during emergency braking. It’s part of the bigger network making sure your trailer brakes are synchronized with the tractor, if you’re hauling.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

If this socket or cable fails, it’s like cutting off a line of communication. You’ll notice if it’s bad—typically a warning light on your dash, maybe even issues with your ABS activating when it shouldn't, or not activating when you really need it. It can lead to reduced braking performance and, honestly, a pretty dangerous situation. These things are usually pretty durable, but vibration and road grime can wear them out over time. A lot of folks find parts like this on Fixparts Online, just to have on hand, especially if they do their own maintenance. Getting it sorted quickly is always best when dealing with brake system components.
