Tridon Stop Light Switch TBS001 M10 X 1.25 Dual Circuit

The Tridon Stop Light Switch, part number TBS001, is a switch-type brake light switch supplied as each and built with a dual circuit arrangement: Normally Open and Normally Closed. The thread is M10 x 1.25, and the body takes a 14 mm spanner, so the physical thread and tool size are both clear before installation.

This is an electrical control component in Tridon’s auto elec accessories range, grouped with fuses, breakers, relays and switches. For buyers matching a replacement switch, the key identifiers are the brand, the TBS001 part number, the M10 x 1.25 thread, and the dual circuit configuration.

A two-year warranty is listed for this item. That gives a useful reference point when comparing like-for-like replacement switches, but the most important check remains application match against the part number and the vehicle’s required thread and circuit style.

Application and Buying Notes

When replacing a stop light switch, start with the part number TBS001 and confirm the thread size is M10 x 1.25. A switch with the correct general description can still be wrong if the thread pitch, circuit layout, or mounting style does not match the original unit.

The dual circuit arrangement is an important detail here because this switch is listed as Normally Open and Normally Closed. That means the electrical behaviour is not a single simple contact only, so it is worth checking the original switch specification carefully before ordering.

The 14 mm spanner size is a practical fitting detail that helps confirm the physical profile of the switch body. It is not a substitute for vehicle application checking, but it is a useful point when comparing the old part to the replacement on the bench.

Fitment references are present for several Kia and Suzuki applications, including Kia Mentor, Kia Sorento, Suzuki Grand Vitara, Suzuki Grand Vitara (inc XL-7), and Suzuki Vitara. Use those references as a guide only and compare them with the vehicle’s build details and the original switch markings where available.

For a brake light switch, accurate matching matters because the electrical circuit type and thread specification need to suit the existing setup. If the original switch is unavailable, measure the thread and check the circuit function before fitting, rather than relying on vehicle name alone.

Before supply, the safest approach is to confirm the original unit details against the listed part number, voltage, output rating, mounting arrangement, and pulley configuration. That checking process is standard practice in the parts trade because visually similar units can still differ in service-critical ways.

For workshop, fleet, and equipment applications, accurate identification of part number TBS001 helps avoid unnecessary freight, additional labour, and vehicle or machine downtime. Where the application is not straightforward, the original unit, OEM reference, or workshop records should be used as the primary confirmation point.

Tridon Stop Light Switch. Part number TBS001 should be checked first. These details form the core reference points used by parts interpreters when confirming the correct replacement.

For part number TBS001, the normal identification sequence is part number, electrical rating, mounting arrangement, connector or terminal style, and pulley or drive details. Using those checkpoints helps confirm that the listed unit matches the service requirement rather than only looking similar.

For a switch in workshop, fleet, trade, agricultural, or construction service, the listed electrical specification should be checked carefully. Incorrect selection can affect installation time, return freight, and equipment availability.

Available application references include KIA MENTOR, KIA MENTOR 1996, KIA MENTOR 1997, KIA SORENTO, SUZUKI GRAND VITARA, SUZUKI GRAND VITARA (INC XL-7). Even with application listings, final confirmation should still be based on the exact unit being replaced and the service requirements of the vehicle or machine.

Compatibility note: Confirm compatibility by matching the TBS001 part number, M10 x 1.25 thread, 14 mm spanner size, and the dual Normally Open / Normally Closed circuit against the vehicle application and the original switch before purchase.
