As an OE manufacturer, PEX brake wear sensors are designed and produced to have the same form, fit, and function as the original OE part. This means technicians get the right part for the job, the part fits properly, and the brake wear sensor works correctly once installed. This insures that as the brake pad wears down, the sensor makes proper contact with the rotor, which breaks the sensor’s wire loop. Once broken, the car’s warning lamp is illuminated, alerting the driver that the brake pads have worn to a level in which they need to be replaced.

Product Features:

• PEX sensors are designed and produced to have the same form, fit, and function as the original OE part enabling easy installation and ensuring proper fit.
• Use of high quality materials specified by auto manufactures ensures durability and resistance to extreme temperatures, as well as excellent electrical performance and provides safety and performance for drivers and passengers.
• All PEX products undergo stringent and constant quality controls. We inspect virtually every aspect going far beyond the form, fit, and function. Our Quality Control includes heat tests; resistance; as well as pull force testing – just to name a few.
• Our newly designed packaging is both cost effective and “green” since it is manufactured using fewer natural resources reflecting our dedication to corporate responsibility
• As the leading manufacturer of electronic brake wear sensors, PEX offers the widest range of sensors in our peer group for both commercial and passenger vehicles.
