We have several replacement pins for breakaway kits. They are designed to work with specific breakaway boxes.

We will need to know what manufacturer and model breakaway kit you have on your trailer to be able to recommend the right replacement pin. For example, if you have a Hopkins Breakaway switch 20005, 20010, and 20014, the replacement pin is part # HM20012.

That looks very similar to the Replacement Breakaway Switch part #3802348 from Bright Way Group. But when it's unknown like this the best solution is an entire new switch setup like #3802348 since unlike the pins the switches are all universal…
