The small single-pole, double-throw (SPDT) limit switch is ideal for keeping track of physical parts in a system. It can also be used as a simple user input button as it makes a noticeable click when pressed. The maximum switching ratings can be found in the manufacturer's datasheet which you should be sure to have a look at. The maximum current that can be switched will vary with voltage. This switch belongs to the RV-16 series.
The wheel on the end of the lever allows the switch to be triggered by objects brushing up against the switch in either direction.
This switch can be read by connecting one end to a digital input and the other end to the ground pin of the same board. Here's a list of boards with digital inputs:
