TULARE, Calif. and NEW GLASGOW, Nova Scotia, Aug. 28, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- EZ Connector (www.ezconnector.com), developer and manufacturer of products for improving the reliability of trailer connections, today announced that the company has formed a distribution agreement with Stright-MacKay, Canada's premier distributor to marine equipment dealers, boat builders and commercial fishermen.
Stright-MacKay Ltd. is distributing EZ Connector's patented EZ Universal 7-Pin Heavy Duty Plug (EZ-U7PHD), a groundbreaking plug/socket configuration designed for a variety of commercial and non-commercial boating and trailer applications.
"We are pleased to form an agreement with Stright-MacKay to distribute our product throughout Canada," said Joe Cardoza, President of EZ Connector. "Stright-MacKay has a long-standing reputation in seeking out the best innovative products for its extensive dealer network. We believe that our EZ-U7PHD is a compelling solution to effectively solve today's trailering issues, especially in the marine industry. Stright-MacKay's established distribution network, together with our pioneering plug/socket configuration, will help us to meet customer needs."
"Given the EZ-U7PHD's original and feature-rich design, we believe that it will appeal to our large network of dealers who want to offer their customers the most cutting-edge equipment available," said Peter Bennett of Stright-MacKay. "We believe that EZ Connector's EZ-U7PHD is complementary to a variety of solutions we offer and are happy to offer this product to our dealers nationwide."
Designed with ease-of-use and reliability in mind, the water-proof and corrosion-resistant EZ-U7PHD is the first plug/socket combination of its kind on the market to improve the reliability of the vehicle/trailer connection, and is designed as a universal configuration that can adapt to a variety of applications. Compared to the electrical connections within today's traditional pin/socket plugs, the EZ-U7PHD uses spring-loaded face-to-face contacts, ensuring both faultless and safe connections. And, because the EZ-U7PHD is double O-ring sealed whether in use or not, it is always clean, waterproof and corrosion free. In addition, because it is magnetically held together, in the event of accidental disconnection, there is no damage to the plug, socket or cable.
The complete EZ-U7PHD package includes:
-- Vehicle socket, which is comprised of seven floating spring-
loaded pins, attaches to the vehicle near the hitch and includes
pre-attached cable.
-- Trailer plug, which includes fixed contacts and two silicon O
-ring seals, attaches to the trailer and includes pre-attached
cable.
-- Dummy O-ring-sealed plug for insertion into the back of the
vehicle to keep the socket free of contaminants when not in use,
as well as a dummy socket, which is attached to the trailer
tongue to hold the plug when not in use, or the dummy plug when
the trailer is in use.
The EZ-U7PHD's feature-rich design includes:
-- A magnet, which has been integrated into both the plug and
socket, is used to immediately hold the plug and socket together
upon first contact.
-- An external indexing feature allows you to easily rotate the plug
inside the socket allowing for the plug to slide in and make
contact once it assumes the proper position.
In addition to a variety of marine applications, the EZ-U7PHD provides an ideal solution for various other commercial, non-commercial and recreational uses including RV, trucking and other activities.
