Tridon Stop Light Switch TBS144 6 Pin Resistance Circuit

The Tridon Stop Light Switch, part number TBS144, is a vehicle control switch supplied as one each and listed under Tridon’s auto elec accessories range. It is described as a resistance circuit switch with 6 pins, which are the key identifiers to check when matching the replacement to the vehicle’s braking and lighting circuit.

This part is a stop light switch rather than a generic switch, so the circuit type and pin count matter. The supplied details list no spanner size and no thread specification, so those points should be confirmed against the original unit or vehicle application before ordering.

Tridon backs this switch with a two year warranty. For a part used in stop lamp operation, the safest approach is to match by part number TBS144, then confirm the electrical configuration, including the 6 pin layout and resistance circuit arrangement, against the vehicle’s requirements.

Application and Buying Notes

When replacing a stop light switch, the most important checks are the part number, pin count, and circuit type. This Tridon unit is identified as TBS144 with 6 pins and a resistance circuit, so those points need to line up with the original switch before it is fitted.

The supplied information does not give a spanner size or thread detail, which means you should not assume physical compatibility from the name alone. A switch can look similar in the hand but still differ in thread, connector arrangement, or circuit operation, so matching the existing part remains the safest approach.

If you are comparing this against a vehicle application, the fitment preview points to several Holden models, including Holden Calais and Holden Captiva variants, but the data provided here is not complete enough to rely on as a full fitment list. Use the original switch, the vehicle’s application details, and part number TBS144 to confirm the match.

For workshop or parts-counter ordering, the most useful identifiers are Tridon, TBS144, 6 pins, and resistance circuit. Those details give a clear starting point for checking the replacement against the vehicle’s stop lamp switch before installation.

Because this item is listed as a switch in the auto elec accessories category, it should be treated as an electrical control component rather than a universal mechanical part. Careful matching reduces the risk of ordering a unit with the wrong connector or circuit type, even if the external shape 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 TBS144 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 TBS144 should be checked first. These details form the core reference points used by parts interpreters when confirming the correct replacement.

For part number TBS144, 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 HOLDEN CALAIS, HOLDEN CALAIS 2017, HOLDEN CALAIS 2018, HOLDEN CALAIS 2019. 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: Please confirm compatibility by checking part number TBS144, the 6 pin connector layout, the resistance circuit specification, and the original vehicle application before purchase. Fitment should always be verified against the actual vehicle and existing switch, especially where Holden application data is only partially provided.
