No no...

What you write is certainly not correct.

This is a Fl. 21119 Magneto Switch.

Used in the Fw190, Bu133, Bf108, Do24,...

It was never installed in the Fi156 (that aircraft took the Fl. 21118).

The amount of connections on the back (8), has nothing to do with the amount of cylinder, or type of engine it was used with...because I can tell you for sure that the Fw190 had a lot more than 8 cylinders...
