A breakaway switch is a very basic device so you can use switch # HM20010 with your braking system. But I recently learned that the BrakeBuddy switches use banana clips to connect to the BrakeBuddy itself. To use this switch you would need to obtain those clips from an electrical supply store.
Likewise, the coiled cable, # RM-8603, can be used on any system that has a loop in the breakaway cable that it can attach to so it will work with # HM20010.
