The K71-650 Electric-hydraulic brake actuator from Dexter Axle works with your brake controller (sold separately) to activate the drum brakes of your trailer.
The vented housing releases moisture and heat.
Internal electronics are safeguarded by enhanced wiring protection.
Features include an electric-over-hydraulic brake actuator that activates the hydraulic brakes of your trailer when you apply the brakes in your vehicle.
A brake controller (sold separately) is required to send a signal from the tow vehicle to the actuator when brakes are applied.
A 7-Way trailer connector (sold separately) is needed to transmit the signal from the brake controller.
Compared to surge brake couplers, it offers improved functionality.
The response time is faster, activating when you apply brakes in the tow vehicle, rather than when the trailer pushes against the hitch ball.
There is no need to manually lock out brakes when backing up.
Trailer brakes can be intentionally activated when reversing.
The manual override on the brake controller can be activated to engage the trailer brakes without applying the vehicle brakes.
The vented design releases heat, moisture, and pressure to protect internal components.
This allows the actuator to be mounted in locations where most actuators would overheat.
An electronic, proportional pressure valve ensures smooth and even braking.
The self-priming pump reduces the time needed for brake bleeding.
Enhanced wiring detects dangerous current levels and shuts down actuator electronics in the event of a surge.
The durable aluminum housing and stainless steel fasteners resist corrosion.
Goretite seals protect the circuit board from the elements.
It is compatible with most 9-amp-hour-battery breakaway kits (sold separately) and is DOT compliant.
The unit installs on the trailer frame and connects to the trailer's wiring and hydraulic brake lines (sold separately).
Made in the USA.
Specs include an application for single-, tandem-, and triple-axle trailers with drum brakes, a maximum output pressure of 1,000 psi, dimensions of 11" long x 6" wide x 7" tall, and a distance between mounting holes (center to center) of 2-1.
