Genuine Dexter 12-1/4" x 3-3/8" electric trailer brake backing plate assembly designed for 9,000–10,000 lb trailer axle applications. This is the left-hand (driver side) configuration.
This brake assembly features a forward self-adjusting mechanism and comes fully pre-assembled on the backing plate for straightforward installation.
Listing is for ONE brake assembly (one wheel).
Electric brake assemblies operate through a brake controller that energizes the magnet inside the drum, expanding the brake shoes outward to create braking force.
The Forward Self-Adjusting (FSA) feature automatically maintains proper shoe-to-drum clearance as lining wear occurs. When enough gap develops, the adjuster mechanism advances the screw assembly at the bottom of the brake, expanding the shoes and maintaining consistent braking performance.
12-1/4" x 3-3/8" brake assemblies are commonly found on 9K–10K trailer axles. Always verify brake size, axle capacity, mounting pattern (7 bolt), and correct left/right orientation before ordering.
