What Size Input Jack is on the Replacement Breakaway Cable # BX2940931

Question:

Hi...I acquired a used Blu Ox Patriot Brake 2012 and I did not get the breakaway cable. I already have the breakaway switch and wiring done from my old Brake Buddy so it looks like I just need to switch the 2 banjo plugs to a single stereo mini plug. Can you confirm the plug in the photo is a standard stereo mini plug please? And which 2 of the 3 conductors would be utilized. Thanks

The plug in the Replacement Breakaway Cable # BX2940931 that you referenced is a standard 1/8 inch stereo adapter like you mentioned. It's the same jack size as what headphones use.

The jack is a TRS style of plug that has three different contact points. The ones you would use are the very tip and the one closest to the base of the connector.

I have the same set up as Ian in this question. A brake buddy 2 banjo plugs needing to convert to a single blue ox patriot stereo mini plug. Will this cable do the conversion or do you sell a conversion adapter or cable?
