In order to find the correct replacement brake pads/assemblies for your trailer you'll need to gather some information such as the axle capacity, brake type (disc/drum), and brake model. The axle capacity can be seen most times on the axle tag in the center of the beam. The brake type you should be able to tell by just looking through the wheel spokes and the brake model will likely be stamped onto the back of the assembly if drum or onto the caliper itself if disc. If there is no brake model listed then measure the size of the drum/rotor. The Electric Trailer Brake Kit part # AKEBRK-6 for example is for axles with a capacity between 5,200 lbs - 7,000 lbs, is for drum brakes, and measures 12" diameter.
In most cases, it's easier to just replace the entire assembly. I have attached for you below a list of our braking assemblies both disc and drum.
Unfortunately, we can't look up parts like this for any one specific trailer, even with the VIN.
