Part Number: 81255140031
Description:
Genuine MAN pneumatic brake pressure switch used in the compressed air brake and handbrake circuit on MAN TGA, TGL, TGM, TGS and TGX trucks. The OE reference 81.25514-0031 / 81255140031 is widely catalogued as a 5.8 bar pressure switch for the pneumatic braking system and handbrake warning, cross-referenced by multiple aftermarket suppliers such as Febi 39102, DT 3.70013 and Auger 82502.
The sensor has a metal hexagonal body with a 4-pin electrical connector (yellow cap) on one side and an M12x1.5 internal threaded pressure port on the other, connected here through a brass fitting and elbow with two rubber air hoses. It monitors system air pressure and switches an electrical circuit to operate the stop light or handbrake warning when pressure reaches the calibrated value. Typical application is on the chassis or compressor/air tank manifold in the brake pneumatic system.
This used unit was removed from a working MAN truck and function-tested prior to dismantling to confirm proper switching at operating pressure. Visual inspection shows no cracks or major damage, only normal corrosion, dirt and marks from tools. The connector housing and pins are intact. Hoses are included but should be inspected and replaced if necessary during installation. We recommend professional fitting; ensure correct location and orientation, seal the threaded port with the appropriate sealing ring, and verify system tightness after installation. No coding or electronic programming is normally required, but the brake system should be bled and checked following manufacturer procedures.
