• Dual Activation Modes: It supports both mechanical and electrical activation, allowing it to be used in traditional pedal‑mounted setups as well as modern electronic braking systems.
• High Current Capacity: Designed to handle the full load of automotive brake light assemblies, the switch can safely conduct up to 12 A without overheating or degradation.
• Durable Construction: The housing is made from high‑strength polymer that resists corrosion, vibration, and temperature extremes. Internal contacts are plated with gold to reduce resistance and extend lifespan.
• Compact Design: With a streamlined profile, the switch occupies minimal space within the vehicle’s pedal assembly or control module, simplifying installation and maintenance.

Technical Specifications

Installation Overview

The VEMO Brake Light Switch is designed for straightforward installation:

1. Mounting: Secure the switch to the vehicle’s pedal assembly or control module using the M16 x 1.5 thread. Ensure a tight fit to prevent vibration‑induced loosening.
2. Wiring: Connect the input lead to the vehicle’s brake pedal actuator and the output lead to the brake light circuit. Use shielded cable where possible to reduce electromagnetic interference.
3. Testing: After wiring, activate the brake pedal to verify that the switch engages and the brake lights illuminate correctly. Check for any flickering or delayed response.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect contacts periodically for signs of corrosion or wear; clean with a soft brush if necessary.
• Avoid exposing the switch to excessive moisture or chemical solvents that could degrade the polymer housing.
• Re‑tighten mounting bolts every few months to counteract vibration effects.

Applications and Use Cases

The VEMO Brake Light Switch is suitable for a variety of automotive platforms:

• Passenger Vehicles: Compact cars, sedans, and hatchbacks that require reliable brake light activation.
• Commercial Fleet Vehicles: Delivery vans and light trucks where durability under frequent braking is critical.
• Motorcycles and Scooters: Lightweight designs benefit from the switch’s compact size and low weight.
• Automotive Restoration Projects: Classic cars that need modern, reliable brake light control without compromising authenticity.

Performance Highlights

• Consistent activation latency of less than 10 ms ensures immediate brake light illumination.
