### Internal Electronic Parts & Components
The device is modular, consisting of three primary electronic/mechanical sections:
#### 1. The Operator (The Head)
* **Mechanical Actuator:** The "R" in the part number signifies the **Red** mushroom head.
* **The Guard:** The "G" indicates a protective guard around the button to prevent accidental activation from the side or by falling objects.
#### 2. The Contact Blocks (The Switching Logic)
* **Part Number Logic:** The "20" in AOGW**220**-R indicates **2 NO** (Normally Open) contact blocks.
* **HW-U10 Blocks:** Typically uses the HW-U series contact blocks which are stackable.
* **Voltage/Current Rating:**
* **AC:** 600V Max / 10A Thermal Current.
* **DC:** 250V Max / 1.1A.
* **Contact Resistance:** 50 mΩ maximum (initial value).
#### 3. The Terminal Wiring Section
* **Screw Terminals:** Features IP20 finger-safe terminals with "SS" (Self-Lifting) washers, which allow for easy insertion of ring or fork terminals.

### Electrical Wiring Diagram (Simplified)
Since this is a **2NO** configuration, the electrical behavior is as follows:
```text
Terminal 1 (NO) ----[ / ]---- Terminal 2 (NO) -> Path A
Terminal 3 (NO) ----[ / ]---- Terminal 4 (NO) -> Path B
Action:
- Idle: Circuits A and B are Open (No continuity).
- Pressed: Circuits A and B Close (Continuity established).
- Released: Returns to Open immediately.
```
### Environmental and Durability Ratings
* **Vibration Resistance:** 5 to 55 Hz, amplitude 0.5 mm.
* **Shock Resistance:** 1,000 m/s².
* **Degree of Protection:** IP65 (Water and oil-tight) when mounted in an appropriate enclosure.
