This is a bracket for holding a push-on-push-off switch to the vertical rail of an Ender 3, so that the gantry can activate the switch when you move Z to 220 mm height.
Used in conjunction with an external relay controlled power block to enable an auto-shutoff at the end of printing.
Using the POPO switch instead of a simple microswitch avoids the issue of the printer turning itself on again after powering off, if the gantry falls back off the switch.
This is the switch I used:

The bracket has a slot for a 4.5mm T-slot bolt and nut to affix it to the rail.
See this YouTube for the original auto shutoff design by CHEP
