An electrically controlled valve for electrically controlling air brakes by releasing pressurized air at a controlled rate. The electrically controlled valve is useful for connecting a trailer with air brakes to a standard electrical connector on a towing vehicle that provides a proportional braking signal. The proportional signal is sent to the electrically actuated valve and a controller within the valve process the signal. When electrically actuated valve receives the proportional braking signal from the towing vehicle representing no braking force, electrically actuated valve to produce no air pressure to the air brake. When the electrically actuated valve receives the proportional braking signal from the towing vehicle representing full braking force, the electrically actuated valve provides air to the air brakes corresponding to full braking force of the air brakes.
