XB12362
Ground Strap
SAF-Holland

This essential electrical grounding strap provides a low-impedance path between the tractor and trailer, ensuring a stable electrical return for lighting, sensors, and braking actuators. Constructed for the demanding environment of heavy-duty operation, it resists flexing and vibration while maintaining consistent conductivity across repeated articulation cycles. The strap helps prevent intermittent faults, arcing, and corrosion that can degrade systems critical to safety and compliance. In typical trailer-tractor interfaces, a reliable ground path is fundamental to consistent illumination, ABS control, and planetary braking cues; thus, a properly specified strap reduces troubleshooting time and contributes to more predictable vehicle behavior in variable weather and road conditions. This component is identified within the Fifth Wheel family, aligning with VMRS guidelines for ground and electrical connections, and is matched to standard SAF-Holland couplings and mounting points to ensure straightforward installation and replacement. Its role in maintaining electrical integrity makes it a practical, long-term reliability investment for fleet operators prioritizing uptime and safety compliance across diverse operating profiles.
