Wabco 4497141000 Connecting Socket with Cable

Description

The Wabco 4497141000 Connecting Socket With Cable is a critical component within Air Brake Systems, specifically EBS Cables. It's designed for use with ABS systems and functions as a connecting point for sensors. This socket features a 2-pin sensor connection on one side and an open 2-strand cable (2 x 0.75 mm²) on the other. This component adheres to OE specifications, ensuring reliable performance and compatibility. Its dimensions are 38 x 367 x 371 mm, providing a robust and secure connection within the vehicle's braking infrastructure.

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.
