They usually handle three basic lighting functions &#8211; turn signals, brake lights, and tail lights. A fourth pin provides a ground connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>5-Way Flat Connectors (5 Pin)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/kf23EqqnIuAWA--B4eEFNzb2o1K01ZwYsSj8qVZqaUQgdgCDYhCeZ0DGSn4jGYnVSSfd3Sg4pELrDa4cWjQpfWOEt_99NVhcVOaSeEYur9e_8-UqIs5a8zeEJABEMrcd_FbDpew343kli5v4P0mQvfU\" alt=\"\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Boat trailers and marine applications usually employ these connectors. Besides the functions provided by 4-way connectors, an additional circuit handles the reverse lights to disengage the surge brakes when backing up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>6-Way Round Connectors (6 Pin)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/b2x9DtZwh7XBglt4BCvv8ePRaJjgkQvcf6QU93E_iU_l7RE9J8jTFviQ-UXfB4jkdaBr4wGpolI2eVJdtRYQQJS2EWuWrHx_gQDngm4LWxSUOI8tVSDalrwIXDgur6xZv3ZcNnTs8mAmlXM07zUrwJI\" alt=\"\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Larger trailers, such as horse trailers or car trailers, use 6-Way Round Connectors.
