7 Way Wiring Diagrams:

There are two wiring codes for different types of 7-pole plug and socket sets.

Most RV's use the RV wiring code for the type plug/socket that has 6 flat contacts surrounding a center round pin.  Semi's and commercial trailers use the ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) type 7-pole plug sets.  These plugs have 6 round contacts surrounding a center round pin.

This drawing from Mark Bruss shows the relationship of the 7-round to 7-flat plugs and how only three wires are common.
