Those are filled crimp scotch locks. They pierce the insulation. Do not make the best connection on some wire especially the wire coming from the magnets.
A flatbed trailer I bought came with "normal" scotch locks. After connecting up one day to find I no brakes, I traced it to those worthless things. I removed them all in favor of twisting and soldering the wires together. My brake controller showed more LED's of braking strength then it ever had before with that trailer.
When I added brakes to my little cargo trailer, it came with the heavier gauge paired brake wire. Only then did I realize all of the LED's could light up, even with only single axle trailer. I never had more than half, even with the fixed flatbed wiring.
If you want brakes, run quality wire and use quality connections.
