The Dexter 10" x 2-1/4" Electric Brake Assembly is a complete trailer brake unit designed for 3,500 lb trailer axles. Available in Left Hand (K23-026-00) or Right Hand (K23-027-00) configurations. This self-contained electric brake unit provides dependable braking performance for utility trailers, cargo trailers, equipment trailers, and RVs.

🔧 Select Your Side

Choose Left Hand (LH) or Right Hand (RH) from the dropdown above. LH mounts on the driver-side axle, RH on the passenger side. Trailers with electric brakes on both axles typically need a pair of each (two LH + two RH for a tandem setup).

Manufactured by Dexter Axle, the industry leader in trailer running gear, each assembly includes durable brake shoes, electromagnet, springs, and backing plate pre-assembled for easy installation. The assembly mounts to a standard 4-bolt brake flange and connects to the trailer's electric brake wiring system, allowing smooth and controlled braking when paired with an in-cab brake controller.
