Tridon Brake Light Switch 12V 2-TERMINAL M10 X 1.25 Part No. TBS018

The Tridon Brake Light Switch is a 12V stop lamp switch with 2 terminals, 1 pole and a dual circuit arrangement that is listed as normally open and normally closed. It is identified by Part No. TBS018 and uses an M10 x 1.25 thread with a 14mm spanner size, so it is the sort of switch that needs to match both the electrical setup and the physical mounting point before purchase.

This switch is non illuminated and operates with an Off-On action. It is supplied as an each unit and weighs 0.05kg, which makes it a compact electrical component rather than a large assembly. The switch type is listed as Stop Lamp, so it is intended for brake light circuit use where the correct terminal layout and thread size matter.

Tridon supplies this brake light switch with a two year warranty. For buyers comparing options, the important checks are Part No. TBS018, 12 volt operation, 2 terminals, M10 x 1.25 thread, and the dual normally open / normally closed circuit detail. Those are the practical identifiers that should be matched against the vehicle application and the existing switch before fitting.

Application and Buying Notes

Before ordering, check the part number TBS018 against the switch already fitted to the vehicle. The electrical details are specific: 12V, 2 terminals, 1 pole, and a dual circuit described as normally open and normally closed. If the existing switch does not match those details, it should not be assumed to be a direct replacement.

The mounting thread is M10 x 1.25 and the spanner size is 14mm, so the mechanical fit needs to line up with the vehicle’s pedal assembly or mounting point. A brake light switch can look similar to another switch but still differ in thread, terminal count, or circuit action, so those three checks are worth confirming before purchase.

This is a non illuminated stop lamp switch supplied as a single unit. If you are replacing a failed brake light switch, compare the old unit’s markings, connector style, thread, and number of terminals as well as the vehicle application. The listed fitment references cover multiple Hino, Holden, Lexus and Toyota applications, but matching the vehicle name alone is not enough.

The two year warranty applies to the Tridon switch itself, not to any vehicle wiring, connector repair, or diagnostic work. When fitting, make sure the brake light fault is actually caused by the switch and not by another part of the circuit. If the vehicle uses a different brake switch design, the thread or terminal layout may prevent correct installation even where the vehicle family appears similar.

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 TBS018 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 Brake Light Switch. Part number TBS018 should be checked first. Listed voltage is 12. These details form the core reference points used by parts interpreters when confirming the correct replacement.

For part number TBS018, 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 voltage 12 should be checked carefully. Incorrect selection can affect installation time, return freight, and equipment availability.

Available application references include HINO FC, HINO FC 1998, HINO FC 1999, HINO FC 2000, HOLDEN APOLLO, LEXUS ES. 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 using Part No. TBS018, the 12V 2-terminal stop lamp switch details, and the M10 x 1.25 thread before ordering. Vehicle names alone are not enough to verify fitment, so always compare the existing switch and application details with the listing.
