Magnavox D8443 switch help

[staplegun]

Just got my Maggie D8443 in the post and am about to open her up and saw this. This may be a stupid question, but does anyone know what this switch is. I know that this has 3 amps, but I didn't know if this has anything to do with it.

thanks for what I am sure will be quick replies explaining this switch to me
