GM Style Pin Switch | Door, Bonnet & Trunk Trigger for Alarm Systems

This is a universal pin switch designed in the classic General Motors (GM) style, widely used as a reliable door, bonnet (hood), and trunk/hatch trigger for alarm and interior light systems. Its simple, durable design makes it a popular choice for both OEM replacements and aftermarket installations in a broad range of vehicles, not just GM models.

Key Features & Specifications:

• Classic GM Design: Features the familiar threaded metal body and rubber grommet/actuator tip commonly found in many vehicles, ensuring a weather-resistant seal and reliable contact.

• Normally Closed (N/C) Operation: The internal switch is closed (circuit complete) when the pin is depressed (door/panel closed). When the panel opens, the pin extends, breaking the circuit and sending a trigger signal.

• Versatile Application: Ideal for use as a door pin switch, bonnet/hood switch, or boot/trunk switch. Also commonly used to trigger interior dome lights.

• Durable Construction: Built from metal with a rubber actuator to withstand repeated use, vibration, and exposure to the elements.

• Easy Installation: Typically includes a washer and nut for secure mounting through a drilled hole in the door or body frame. Connects via a simple spade terminal.

• Universal Fit: A standard, widely compatible component used in many aftermarket security and automotive interior lighting applications.
