LAIKOU Breakaway Switch Kit for Blue Ox Patriot Tow Bar BRK2505 — Plug-and-Play, Corrosion-Resistant

If you tow RVs, campers, or second vehicles using a Blue Ox Patriot series supplemental braking system, the LAIKOU BRK2505 gives you a ready-to-install backup braking activation device. Built from brass, plastic, rubber and tin-plated terminals, this kit is intended to provide a durable electrical connection and a protective cable assembly that resists wear, moisture and corrosion. It’s offered as an add-on switch for a second towed vehicle or as a direct replacement for a damaged factory unit.

How does this breakaway switch work with my Blue Ox Patriot system?

The BRK2505 connects inline with the Patriot braking unit so that if the tow linkage separates, the switch activates the supplemental braking system in the towed vehicle. It completes or interrupts the electrical circuit to trigger braking and is compatible with Patriot, Patriot II and Patriot 3 models.

• Compatible with BRK2012, BRK2010/BRK2016, BRK2019 Patriot systems
• Tin-plated terminals for reliable conductivity and low resistance
• Coated cable protects against dust, water and abrasion
• Includes lanyard and spring clips for mechanical engagement

What’s included and how do I install the kit?

The kit ships with the breakaway switch body, a pre-wired breakaway cable and a breakaway lanyard fitted with spring clips. Installation is intended to be straightforward: mount the switch on the trailer front, route the cable through the engine compartment or firewall, then plug it into your Patriot system.

• One breakaway switch, one breakaway cable, one lanyard with spring clips
• Mount on trailer front and route cable through firewall or door/window
• Plug into the Patriot supplemental braking system—no special tools required
• Two attachment methods supported for flexible vehicle setups

What materials and features make this a durable choice?

LAIKOU built the BRK2505 using brass, durable plastics and rubber seals to ensure a long service life in roadside conditions. The tin-plated terminals boost conductivity while the external cable jacket reduces the risk of environmental damage and short circuits.

• Brass terminals and tin plating for corrosion resistance and good conductivity
• Plastic and rubber housings resist vibration, moisture and impact
• Coated cable prevents rust and electrical shorts in wet or dirty conditions
• Spring clip-equipped lanyard secures the mechanical trip point reliably

Who is this for? The LAIKOU BRK2505 is aimed at owners of motorhomes, RVs and vehicles that tow multiple towed cars who use a Blue Ox Patriot supplemental braking system and want either a second dedicated breakaway switch or a replacement for a broken unit. It’s also suitable for DIY installers who prefer a plug-and-play, corrosion-resistant assembly with clear routing options through the firewall or door. Avoid using this product outside its specified compatibility list and follow your vehicle and Patriot system manufacturer instructions for safe installation and operation.
