VEMO V40-73-0064 Switches
The VEMO V40-73-0064 Switch is a high‑performance, automotive‑grade foot‑operated switch designed to control brake lights and stop signals in a wide range of vehicles. Its robust construction, precise mechanical action, and compliance with international safety standards make it an ideal choice for both OEM installations and aftermarket upgrades.
Key Functional Features
- Foot‑Operated Design: The switch is engineered to be activated by the driver’s foot, providing a natural and ergonomic control of brake lights without interfering with steering or gear selection.
- Dual‑Mode Operation: It supports both mechanical and electrical activation. In mechanical mode, the switch directly engages the brake light circuit; in electrical mode, it sends a signal to an external controller.
- High Current Capacity: Rated for up to 30 A at 12 VDC, ensuring reliable operation even under high‑load conditions typical of modern automotive lighting systems.
- Durable Housing: Constructed from impact‑resistant ABS plastic with a metal reinforcement ring, the housing protects internal components against vibration, shock, and temperature extremes.
- Compact Footprint: With dimensions of 40 mm × 30 mm × 20 mm (L×W×H), it fits easily into tight engine‑bay spaces without compromising airflow or cooling.
- Long Life Span: Designed for over 200,000 activation cycles, the switch offers exceptional longevity in demanding automotive environments.

Installation Guide
- Mounting: Secure the bracket to a flat surface in the engine bay using four M3 screws. Ensure the switch is positioned within easy reach of the driver’s foot.
- Wiring: Connect the input terminals to the vehicle’s brake light circuit. Use shielded cable to minimize electromagnetic interference.
- Testing: Activate the pedal while observing the brake lights. Verify that the lights illuminate promptly and remain on until the pedal is released.
- Adjustment: If necessary, fine‑tune the activation force by adjusting the internal spring tension (included in the kit).
Maintenance Tips
- Inspect the switch annually for signs of wear or corrosion.
- Clean contact surfaces with a soft brush and isopropyl alcohol to maintain low resistance.
- Replace the internal spring after 200,000 cycles or if activation feels sluggish.
