Genuine Makita replacement switch (part no. 651891-8) — a compact V-15-3A6 snap-action on/off trigger switch with a plastic chassis, round pin‑plunger actuator and solder/quick‑connect terminals (0.187" / 4.7 mm). The internal contact is a single‑pole single‑throw (SPST‑NO) style rated for typical tool duty (15 A AC / 250 V AC), so it restores positive on/off control and cures symptoms like intermittent power or a sticking trigger.
This original Makita switch is supplied as the direct-fit replacement used across many cordless and corded Makita units; it installs into the tool’s original switch cavity without modification and is ideal when you need a single, reliable repair. A compact, genuine Makita part that’s handy to have among your Makita spare parts for garden and workshop tools.
Examples of models this part commonly fits include DUM166, DUM168 (grass shears), BUM166/BUM168, 5093D, 4191D, 6811D, 6831D/6835D, BUR141/BUR181, DCL140/DCL180 and several DST/DPT/UR/DUR series machines; check the switch cavity and terminal style on your tool to confirm a match.
Simple to swap for anyone comfortable opening the handle and reconnecting the switch wires, this original Makita switch gets your tool back to reliable operation without fuss.
