OEX ACX0690 7 Pin Socket with Anderson Style Plug

OEX ACX0690 7-Pin Flat Trailer Socket with Integrated 50A Anderson Style Plug Black Housing

The OEX ACX0690 combines a 7-pin flat trailer socket with an integrated 50A Anderson style plug in a single black plastic housing. The 7-pin flat socket handles trailer lighting and braking circuits while the Anderson style plug provides a high-current feed for auxiliary battery charging or accessory power. Rated at 15A for the 7-pin trailer circuits and 50A through the Anderson style plug. Compliant with AS4177.5-2004. Covered by a one year warranty.

Product overview

Vehicles that tow and also run an auxiliary battery or DC-DC charger often need two separate connection points at the tow bar a 7-pin flat for trailer circuits and an Anderson plug for the battery charging feed. The ACX0690 integrates both into a single housing, simplifying installation and reducing the number of separate sockets required on the vehicle's rear. The 7-pin flat connector covers the standard Australian trailer lighting, braking and auxiliary circuits, while the 50A Anderson style plug provides a high-current connection point suited to DC-DC charger feeds, auxiliary battery charging and similar high-draw applications.

A reed switch is included in the unit and can be used to trigger a circuit based on socket connection state, commonly used to activate a battery-to-battery charging circuit when an Anderson plug is connected. The reed switch state (normally open or normally closed) should be confirmed with OEX before wiring. Note that LED removal may be required for compatibility with some vehicle monitoring systems. The black plastic housing is suited to external rear-of-vehicle mounting in towing applications.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Anderson style plug used for in this socket? The integrated 50A Anderson style plug provides a high-current connection point for auxiliary battery charging between the tow vehicle and a caravan or camper trailer, or for connecting DC-DC chargers and other high-draw accessories at the rear of the vehicle. It is rated at 50A, suited to these applications.

What does the reed switch do and what state is it in? The reed switch detects whether the socket lid is open or closed and can be used to trigger a circuit, commonly used to activate a battery-to-battery charging circuit when an Anderson plug is connected. The reed switch state (normally open or normally closed) contains conflicting information in the current supplier data. Confirm the switch state with OEX before wiring to ensure the circuit behaviour matches your installation requirements.

Will this socket work with my vehicle's monitoring system? Compatibility with vehicle monitoring systems varies. OEX notes that the LED may need to be removed on some vehicles for compatibility. Check with your vehicle manufacturer or a qualified auto electrician before installation if your vehicle has an active trailer or electrical monitoring system.

What trailer types is the 7-pin flat socket compatible with? The 7-pin flat connector is the standard Australian trailer connector used on caravans, boat trailers, car trailers and box trailers. It carries circuits for left and right indicators, tail lights, brake lights, reverse lights, electric brakes and auxiliary power.

Is the ACX0690 compliant with Australian standards? Yes. The ACX0690 is compliant with AS4177.5-2004, the Australian standard for trailer electrical connectors.
