STOP LAMP OPERATION CONTROLLER

摘要

A stop lamp operation controller which provides improved durability of a relay while preventing unnecessary automatic flashing. During a gradual braking, a stop lamp (26) turns ON via a primary line (31) and a secondary line (32). During a rapid braking, the stop lamp (26) flashes by connecting and disconnecting the primary line (31) in a predetermined period and interrupting the secondary line (32). During gradual braking, since a first relay and a second relay are both in a non-exited state, durability of the relays is not affected. During rapid braking, because the first relay remains in an excited state and the second relay repeats excitation and non-excitation in a predetermined period, durability of the relay is affected. However, as the frequency of occurrence for rapid braking is extremely infrequent, the severity is significantly less as compared with conventional prior art.
