Hey Carmen,

Nope, the brand does not matter at all when replacing your trailer's breakaway switch with a new one. You can go with whichever you like, from the Bright Way Replacement Breakaway Switch # 3802348 to the Fastway Zip Trailer Breakaway Switch with Coiled Cable # FA80-00-2060.

I've added a link below to our entire selection of breakaway switches if you'd like to take a look.
