Thanks, I've an idea of how it works now based on your pic. Looks like I'm missing a piece that goes over the black button.On mine this is the closed position. Turn the handle 90 degrees CCW from this angle and end of the handle goes from 9:00 to 6:00 making contact with that button, and then the macerator works. Looks like I have the same switch as you -- just not sure how yours came loose like that Maybe you can put it back in place with the 2 screws.

Thanks, now to see if i can find a replacement if not parts on line.That looks like a waterproof momentary contact switch made by Control Products, Inc (CPI), in a custom-made housing. It's probably a normally open switch. When the handle is moved to the open position it closes the contacts to energize a circuit or turn on an indicator light.
Very helpful.. thank you!I don't see anything like that in CPI's catalog. It seems like it's a combination of parts of their "E1120 Low Simulated Roller Angle Mount", attached to a custom base, plus the limit switch itself. It looks to me like the stainless trigger has broken off.
I would suggest you reach out to CPI at sales@cpi-nj.com. Include the application, your photo, and Phil's photo. They may be able to tell you if they made that part custom, and perhaps where to get it. CPI sells off-the-shelf stuff via distributors, but also to manufacturers directly. I needed a specific type of switch and mount, and their sales team was very helpful in locating a vendor that stocked it.
