### 2. Key Internal Electronic Parts
#### A. Contact Block
The "heart" of the switch. It consists of high-conductivity silver or gold-plated contacts.
* **Common (C):** The input terminal.
* **Normally Open (NO):** Closes the circuit when the lever is pressed.
* **Normally Closed (NC):** Opens the circuit when the lever is pressed.
#### B. Snap-Action Mechanism
Unlike a slow-break switch, the snap-action mechanism uses a spring-loaded toggle. This ensures that the contacts move at a constant speed regardless of how slowly the external lever is moved, preventing **arcing** and electrical wear.
#### C. Terminal Block
Located inside the base of the unit, usually featuring screw terminals for secure wiring. The "CE" designation indicates compliance with European safety standards, often requiring protective grounding/earthing terminals.
#### D. Sealing Gaskets
Internal rubber seals (usually NBR or Silicone) protect the electronic contacts from oil, water, and coolants, maintaining the **IP67 rating**.

### 3. Actuator Mechanics (7A-R Designation)
The "7A-R" suffix typically refers to the physical interface:
* **7A:** Represents an **Adjustable Roller Lever**. This allows the operator to change the length of the arm to fit the machinery.
* **R:** Often denotes a "Roller" made of hardened plastic or stainless steel to reduce friction against the triggering cam.
