Dexter 12 x 2 Inch Right Hand Electric Drum Brake Assembly, 6,000 lb Capacity (023-106-09)

The Dexter 023-106-09 is a 12 inch x 2 inch right hand (RH) electric drum brake assembly rated for 6,000 pounds. This is the electric brake unit itself, the core braking component used to build out a trailer axle's electric brake system, and it is designated specifically for the right-hand side of the trailer. Because it is a side-specific part, it is not interchangeable with the left hand version, which is sold under its own separate part number.

This brake assembly is the right hand (RH) component used in Dexter's complete 12 inch x 2 inch electric brake assembly with parking brake, 6,000 lb kit (kit K23-112-00), which combines the RH electric brake, a hex nut, a plug, and an instruction sheet into a full installation set. Ordering the 023-106-09 assembly on its own is intended for replacement of just the brake unit rather than the full kit's hardware.

Electric drum brakes like this one work by using an electromagnet mounted to the backing plate that engages the brake drum when the trailer's electric brake controller applies current, producing consistent, controllable stopping power that scales with the amount of current applied. This makes them a common choice for trailer axles rated in the 6,000 lb range.
