It provides automatic activation of trailer brakes if the trailer becomes disconnected from the towing vehicle, giving peace of mind during every journey. This unit features silver contact points for a superior electrical connection and a robust nylon housing that protects against dust, moisture, and weather exposure.

Ideal for trailers, caravans, horse floats, campers, and boat trailers. This breakaway switch provides extra protection when towing in highways, off-road conditions, or long-distance travel where safety is critical.
Mount the switch securely to the trailer frame using the included tab. Connect the wiring to the trailer breakaway battery and brakes, then attach the steel cable to the towing vehicle. Ensure the cable has enough slack for normal driving but will pull free if disconnection occurs. Always test the switch during installation and periodically for continued safety.
