Dexter K23-451-00 12-1/4 Inch x 3-3/8 Inch Electric Trailer Brake Assembly, Right Hand/Passenger Side, 9,000-10,000 lb Axles
The Dexter K23-451-00 is a complete 12-1/4 inch x 3-3/8 inch electric forward self-adjusting brake assembly built for 9,000 to 10,000 lb general duty (9K-10K GD) trailer axles. This is the right hand, passenger side brake -- a matching left hand (driver side) assembly is sold under a separate Dexter part number, so be sure you are ordering the side that matches your axle position.
The assembly ships fully built as a complete unit rather than a collection of loose parts, so it installs directly onto a compatible 7-bolt pattern axle flange without needing to source and assemble individual brake components. It uses an electric magnet to actuate the shoes, with the magnet wire lead colored yellow for easy identification during wiring. The self-adjusting design automatically compensates for shoe wear as the brake is used, helping maintain consistent stopping performance without manual adjustment. Rated at 10,000 lbs of capacity per pair, this brake is intended for use on 9,000 to 10,000 lb capacity trailer axles.
Each kit includes the assembled brake unit and an instruction sheet for installation; mounting hardware is not included and should be sourced separately or reused from the axle flange. Dexter builds this brake assembly in the USA.
