## Overview of M22-DR-R
The **M22-DR-R** is a high-quality industrial pilot device manufactured by **Eaton (Moeller)**. It belongs to the **M22 (RMQ-Titan)** series, which is known for its modular design and ergonomic features.
Specifically, the "M22-DR-R" refers to the **actuator head** of a pushbutton.

### Key Electronic & Mechanical Components
The M22-DR-R is part of a modular system. To function as an electronic switch, it must be paired with other components:
#### 1. The Actuator (M22-DR-R)
This is the red button itself. The "DR" designation indicates **maintained** action—meaning when you press it, it stays down until you press it again to release it.
#### 2. The Fixing Adapter (M22-A)
This component connects the pushbutton head to the electronic contact blocks. It snaps onto the back of the actuator.
#### 3. Contact Blocks (M22-K series)
These are the actual "electronic" parts that open or close the circuit.
* **M22-K10:** Normally Open (NO) contact.
* **M22-K01:** Normally Closed (NC) contact.
* The modularity allows you to stack multiple contact blocks depending on the logic required for your machinery.
#### 4. LED Elements (Optional)
If you require the button to be illuminated, you would use an **M22-LED** element. However, note that the M22-DR-R is a solid red button; for illumination, an **M22-DRL-R** (the "L" standing for Light) is typically used.

### Applications
* **Control Panels:** Used for "Stop" functions where the button needs to remain depressed.
* **Industrial Automation:** Signaling state changes in PLC systems.
* **Harsh Environments:** Due to the IP69K rating, it can withstand high-pressure washdowns and heavy dust.
