Abstract
An electrical adapter device for connecting a primary electrical system of a towing vehicle to a secondary electrical system of a towed vehicle includes an adapter primary connector, a second end, and a semiconductor device. The adapter primary connector is operable to detachably couple with a primary connector and comprises a primary electrical terminal. The second end is adapted to removably couple with a secondary connector and thereby electrically connect a secondary electrical system to a primary electrical system. The second end includes a secondary electrical terminal electrically connected to the primary electrical terminal. The semiconductor device is configured to switch between a first state in which the semiconductor device connects the primary electrical terminal to a resistive load and a second state in which the semiconductor device disconnects the primary electrical terminal from the resistive load.
