It is an electromagnetic drum brake unit designed to bolt directly onto the axle flange, giving the trailer's electric brake controller a matched, ready-to-install backing plate and magnet assembly rather than requiring separate sourcing of individual brake components. The assembly carries CSA certification, making it suitable for trailers that require CSA-approved braking hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause this is a right hand unit, it is designed for one specific side of the axle only. The left hand counterpart for the opposite side of the trailer is a separate part, Dexter K23-180-00, so trailer owners replacing brakes on both sides need to order both part numbers, not two of the same one. The kit ships as the main brake component; it is the core electric brake assembly rather than a full hardware bundle with separate mounting fasteners.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dexter Axle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e K23-181-00\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Electric Trailer Brake Assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBacking Plate Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 x 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSide:\u003c\/strong\u003e Right Hand (RH)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLoad Capacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7,000 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCertification:\u003c\/strong\u003e CSA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13.85 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Components:\u003c\/strong\u003e Main component only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAssembly Required:\u003c\/strong\u003e No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for 7,000 lb capacity trailer axles using a 12 x 2 inch electric brake backing plate on the right hand side.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eReplaces (OEM)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo OEM cross-reference numbers are listed for this part.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the K23-181-00 a left or right side brake?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Dexter K23-181-00 is a right hand (RH) electric brake assembly, designed to mount on the right side of the trailer axle only.
