12 Pin amperage limits?

[rmgill]

What's the amperage limits of the 12 pin trailer receptacle and cable? Does anyone think it'll handle 12 amps of current intermittently like for electric brakes? Squirt truck has a design for a brake conversion kit that I'm still thinking of altering to put the brake controller in the cab with me rather than in the trailer. Thoughts?

yes it should. i have similar pins on a A/c unit that handle 115v 28amps

Tactical automotive standards for 14 Ga. OZ wire is 20 Amperes. Same goes for the plug/jack scheme. Add in overbuilding factor for 5-6 Amps more with little problem.

I've noticed armor uses the same series of plugs, with 12-Ga OZ in it, rated for 25A.
