A wedge for an electrical coupling between a pickup truck or car and trailer is designed to fit over the male plug and into the female socket of the coupling. The wedge includes a base and a collar with a tapered wall extending forwardly from the base. The collar is segmented so as to have at least two gaps therein, with a flexible finger located in at least one of the gaps. The plug extends through the wedge, so that the terminals of the plug are pushed onto the pins of the socket. Then the wedge is pushed forwardly into the socket to provide a secure friction fit of the electrical coupling components which maintain the coupling, even when the components are worn or the pickup truck or car and trailer are driven over rough roads.
