ABSTRACT:
A multi-directional operating switch for use in various kinds of electronic equipment, and the switch comprises: an insulation substrate employing a plurality of stationary contacts on an upper surface thereof; an elastic contactor body disposed on the insulation substrate and having a plurality of domed portions, which is provided with movable contacts each confronting with the stationary contacts, on a lower surface at a center and outer periphery, and one of the domed portions at the center further having a hole in an upper surface; a manipulation body of which a tip of protuberant part at a lower center surface is press-fitted into the hole in the upper surface of the domed portion at the center of the elastic contactor body, and having a plurality of depressing limbs around the lower peripheral surface for depressing the domed portions at the outer periphery of the elastic contactor body when being tilted; and a case having an opening for a center area of the manipulation body to pass through, and for covering an upper surface of the manipulation body while maintaining a predetermined space in order to avoid said case from touching with the manipulation body when the manipulation body is in a neutral position and when it is tilted.
