ABSTRACT:
There is provided a compound switch suitable for preventing malfunction as a multidirectional switch caused by an unreasonable turning force applied to a slider, improving the switch operability, and simplifying a switch mounting panel surface. When a transverse push-in force is applied to the operating portion14, the slider8slides in the push-in direction of the operating portion from a fixed position of neutrality, and hence a contact state corresponding to the slide direction can be obtained. When torque for turning the operating portion14around the axis thereof is applied to the operating portion14, the torque is transmitted to an outer base2via the slider8etc., by which the outer base2, the slider8, and the operating portion14are rotatingly moved together in the rotation direction of the operating portion14from the fixed position of neutrality, and hence a contact state corresponding to the rotation direction can be obtained.
