ABSTRACT:
A push switch includes a case made of insulating resin including a plate-like portion shaped substantially like a plate, a first fixed contact exposed at a first surface of the plate-like portion of the case, a second fixed contact exposed at the first surface of the plate-like portion of the case, and a movable contact which electrically connects and disconnects the first fixed contact to the second fixed contact. A first metal member including the first fixed contact further includes a first terminal exposed outside the case, and a first middle portion exposed at a second surface of the plate-like portion of the case, the first middle portion connecting the first fixed contact to the first terminal. A second metal member including the second fixed contact further includes a second terminal exposed outside the case, and a second middle portion for connecting the second fixed contact to the second terminal. The push switch is thin despite the middle portion between the fixed contact and the terminal secured in the portion underneath the recess of the case.
