Description
The Fenix AER-02 V2.0 takes the guesswork out of running a weapon-mounted light. Instead of reaching down to click a tail cap in the middle of a drill or a hunt, you get a cable-mounted switch that sits right where your support hand already is. It simply threads on in place of your flashlight's factory tail cap, so setup takes a couple minutes and no tools beyond your own hands.
How the AER-02 V2.0 Switches Work
This version uses two separate controls instead of one combined button. The round tactical switch works just like your flashlight's original tail cap, giving you full constant-on power with a firm press. The flat pressure pad next to it is silent, no click, and gives you momentary-on so the light only stays lit while your finger is on it. That pad is rated for roughly 100,000 presses and can handle 3A of current without issue, so it holds up to a lot of use over the years.
Mounting the AER-02 V2.0 on Your Setup
Fenix kept the cable short and uncoiled on this version, which makes for a cleaner, more compact package on an AR or shotgun compared to older coiled designs. You get both cable ties and a hook-and-loop Velcro patch in the box, so you can run it flush along a handguard or stock without a bunch of extra hardware. The tail adapter is machined from hard-anodized aluminum, and the whole unit carries an IP68 rating, meaning it shrugs off rain, mud, and even a dunk down to two meters.
Compatibility Notes for This Remote Switch
The AER-02 V2.0 is built around a 1 inch diameter tail cap thread, which covers a good chunk of the Fenix lineup including the PD32 V2.0, PD35 V2.0, PD35 V3.0, PD35TAC, PD35R, TK11 TAC, TK11R, UC35 V2.0, and several others. On most lights it strictly handles on and off duties, though a few models like the PD35TAC let the pad also adjust brightness while in Tactical Mode. If your light isn't listed but has that same tail cap size, it's worth a quick check since plenty of owners have gotten it to fit lights outside the official list.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the Fenix AER-02 V2.0 work with my flashlight?
It's built for lights with a 1 inch removable tail cap, which covers models like the PD32 V2.0, PD35 V2.0, PD35 V3.0, TK11 TAC, and UC35 V2.0 among others. If your flashlight isn't on the official compatibility list but shares that same tail cap size, it will often still thread on and work fine. When in doubt, checking the exact tail cap diameter on your light before buying saves any headache.
What's the difference between the pressure pad and the round switch?
The round tactical switch functions just like your flashlight's original tail cap button, giving you full constant-on power with a press. The flat pad next to it is the momentary switch, so the light only stays on while you're actively pressing it, and it does so silently with no click.
Can this remote switch handle bad weather or a rough range day?
Yes, the AER-02 V2.0 carries an IP68 rating, so it's sealed against dust and can handle being submerged down to two meters. The tail adapter is hard-anodized aluminum, so it's built to take some abuse without the finish wearing off.
How do I attach the AER-02 V2.0 to my rifle or shotgun?
You get both cable ties and a Velcro hook-and-loop patch in the box, so you can pick whichever method fits your setup best. The cable itself is short and uncoiled, which keeps things tidy and avoids the bulk you'd get from a longer coiled design.
