Tridon Stop Light Switch TBS071 M10 X 1 Normally Open

The Tridon Stop Light Switch, part number TBS071, is a threaded switch supplied as each and identified with a 22mm spanner size and an M10 x 1 thread. It uses a normally open circuit, which is the key operating detail to confirm before ordering for a brake light circuit application.

This switch sits in the auto electrical category and is listed under fuses, breakers, relays and switches. For buyers matching a replacement, the important identifiers here are the Tridon brand, TBS071 part number, M10 x 1 thread, 22mm spanner size and normally open circuit configuration.

The product is covered by a two year warranty and is intended as a direct switch component rather than a universal accessory. If you are comparing an old unit, the thread size and circuit type are the first points to check, followed by the spanner size where physical access is tight during installation.

Application and Buying Notes

When replacing a stop light switch, match the part number TBS071 first, then confirm the thread is M10 x 1 and the switch operates as normally open. Those three details are the most useful checks because a brake light switch must suit both the thread in the mounting point and the circuit behaviour expected by the vehicle wiring.

The 22mm spanner size is also worth noting if access to the switch is limited. It helps you plan the correct tool before starting the job, especially where the switch is mounted in a confined position and there is little room for an oversized socket or spanner.

If you are comparing against an existing part, do not rely on vehicle name alone. The supplied fitment data shows a broad Volkswagen application group, but the safe way to buy is to confirm the part number, thread size and circuit type against the original switch or the vehicle’s application details.

This switch is listed as a two year warranty item and is supplied individually. If you need multiple switches for workshop stock or a fleet vehicle, allow for ordering each unit separately rather than assuming a pair or kit is included.

For older Volkswagen applications in particular, previous repairs and replacement parts can create variation. Check the old switch carefully, especially the thread form and the electrical function, so the replacement aligns with the existing mount and wiring before installation.

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 TBS071 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 TBS071 should be checked first. These details form the core reference points used by parts interpreters when confirming the correct replacement.

For part number TBS071, 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 1600 1961, 1600 1962, 1600 1963, 1600 1964, VOLKSWAGEN 1500, VOLKSWAGEN BEETLE. 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 number TBS071, M10 x 1 thread, 22mm spanner size and the normally open circuit. Vehicle model names alone are not enough to verify fitment.
