Choosing the correct replacement cable and pin for your 20005 and 20014 Hopkins breakaway switches will depend on the style of key that they accept. Hopkins changed the style of keys that their breakaway switches accept, but kept the part numbers the same.

If you have the newer style switch that has a cross design in the pin hole that is 2-3/16 inches long, then you will need the replacement cable and pin, # HM20051. If you have the older style switch that requires a key with multiple prongs that is 3-3/16 inches long, then you will need the replacement cable and pin, # HM20012. I have attached a photo showing the designs of each key.
