JK205-JK253 Forklift Brake Lamp Switch for Z8740-JK205

JK205-JK253 Brake Lamp Switch for Forklift Z8740-JK205

The JK205-JK253 is a plunger-actuated brake lamp switch for forklifts, with cross-reference to Z8740-JK205. Mounted on the brake pedal bracket, the spring-loaded plunger closes the brake light circuit when the pedal is depressed. A stuck plunger leaves brake lights on continuously, draining the battery within hours; a failed switch results in no brake lights — an OSHA 1910.178(q)(7) violation that can result in citations during workplace safety audits.

Rated 12V-24V DC with silver-plated contacts and a sealed rubber boot over the plunger to prevent dust ingress. The 2-pin 6.3mm blade connector uses universal terminals. Directional switch category.
