Wabco 4497420100 DIN Cable with Socket

Description

The Wabco 4497420100 DIN Cable with Socket is a critical component within trailer brake controls, specifically designed for use with ECAS™ air brake systems. This cable facilitates communication between the solenoid valve VA and the ECAS height sensor 4410500110. With dimensions of 32 x 248 x 279 mm, this OE specification cable utilizes a DIN bayonet ISO 72585-B1-2.1-Sn/K1 4-pin connector on one end and an open 2-strand connection with push-on contacts and a PG11 screw connection on the other. This design ensures a secure and reliable electrical connection, contributing to the precise and responsive operation of the air suspension system and overall braking performance.

Key Features & Benefits

This cable basically transmits the electrical signal from your vehicle to the trailer's brake controller. It carries that signal to activate the trailer's brakes when you hit your brake pedal. The socket is the connector – it’s what plugs into the back of your brake controller. It’s a pretty simple part, really, but vital. Think of it as the nerve connection between your truck or SUV and the trailer’s brakes. Without a good signal flowing through this cable, your trailer brakes won’t work right, or at all. It connects to the back of the brake controller unit, usually mounted under the dash, and runs to the trailer connector in the hitch. It's part of the whole air brake control system – your truck tells the trailer brakes when and how hard to apply.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Honestly, this is a safety thing. If this cable is damaged, frayed, or has a bad connection, it can cause delayed braking, uneven braking, or even a complete failure of your trailer brakes. You’ll notice if it’s really bad - maybe the trailer feels like it’s pushing you, or the brakes are grabbing erratically. Even a small issue can become a big problem, especially at highway speeds. It acts like a shield protecting the rest of the system. You can find these, and all sorts of trailer brake parts, over at Fixparts Online. It’s a good idea to inspect this cable regularly for wear and tear, and replace it if you see anything concerning.
