The working principle of 1478611-3 is fairly straightforward. The switch contains two components: the actuator, which controls when the switch is either open or closed, and the contacts, which direct the flow of electricity. Depending on the type of switch, the contact points can either be made of metal or plastic.

When the actuator is pressed or flipped, it causes the contacts to make or break an electrical connection which will then control a piece of equipment. In the event that the switch is malfunctioning or isn’t functioning properly, it can be transitioned to the OFF position. This will ensure that the electricity won’t flow through the switch and that the equipment won’t be damaged.
