Breakaway switch allows FULL trailer battery voltage to be applied to trailer brake magnets should the 'pin' get pulled out.
12V DC power directly from trailer battery to switch to trailer brakes.
Power in and power out of switch.
Both wires on switch are 12V DC 'positive'.......not connected to ground
The switch is just that.......a switch. Contacts make up when pin is pulled allowing 12V DC current to flow.
