Commercial vehicle electrical connections are exposed to frequent coupling and uncoupling, vibration and everyday use. Over time, normal wear can affect how securely an SAE J560 plug fits inside its receptacle.

When a plug does not remain firmly seated, maintaining a dependable trailer electrical connection can become more difficult. The TECTRAN SureShim helps stabilize the connection by holding the SAE J560 plug firmly in place.
This simple design can help fleets:

- Maintain a more secure SAE J560 plug connection
- Keep trailer lights connected
- Reduce connection-related maintenance concerns
- Get additional service life from plugs and receptacles
- Minimize unnecessary downtime
- Support productive fleet operations

TECTRAN identifies extending plug and receptacle life, minimizing downtime, maximizing production and keeping connected among the primary benefits of the SureShim.
