Time-Delay Brake Controllers
Time-delay brake controllers, including the Discovery™ and Venturer™ series by CURT, provide reliable, budget-friendly trailer braking by applying a fixed amount of power after a short, adjustable delay. They’re easy to install, require no calibration, and allow you to customize braking intensity with gain settings.
Time-Delay Brake Controllers: A Dependable Choice for Light Towing
Our time-delay trailer brake controllers offer reliable and straightforward braking performance by applying a fixed amount of braking power based on the driver’s pre-set gain setting. Once the vehicle’s brake pedal is pressed, the controller sends power to the trailer brakes after a short, adjustable delay. While they don’t provide the real-time response of proportional controllers, time-based models are highly effective for light to medium towing applications and offer consistent trailer braking regardless of road or driving conditions.
One of the key advantages of timed brake controllers is their affordability, making them a budget-friendly option for occasional or recreational towing. They are also easier to install since they don’t require calibration or complex wiring, which makes them a popular choice for DIYers. Adjustable gain settings allow drivers to customize the braking intensity to match different trailer weights, providing flexibility for a variety of towing needs. Manual override controls offer an extra layer of control for emergency braking or reducing trailer sway.
Time-based brake controllers are well-suited for smaller trailers, utility trailers, and light cargo setups, offering dependable performance for those who tow less frequently but still want the safety and convenience of trailer brake control.
