Part # 20051 looks like the right one but my breakaway pin is only 1.75 inches total and ed only 1 3/8 inches long. Yours seems too long. Is this the right part? thanks

When I measured the # HM20051, I found it to be 1-3/4 inches long in total, with the pin portion being 1-5/16 inches. You can see these dimensions in the accompanying photo.

The HM20051 pin is the correct replacement for the following Hopkins break away switches:

HM20050
HM20059
HM20060
HM20005
HM20010
HM20014
HM20005
HM20012
HM20014

The measurement I took and the one you took are so close and because they look identical, I strongly suspect the # HM20051 would be the correct replacement for you.

If the Pin #HM20051 will not remove easily(approximately 20-30lbs of force) from the Breakaway Switch #HM20010 it will most likely need to be replaced. As the pin is made of plastic is most likely to break trying to remove from the housing. Even if…
