ABSTRACT:
In a slide switch apparatus of the present invention, a click spring movable along a side surface portion of a housing includes an engagement portion that is engaged with a switch lever and can be switched in accordance with the movement along the side surface portion of the housing, a protrusion that generates a click feeling when moving along the side surface portion of the housing, a positioning rib, and a plate spring portion in which the engagement portion, the protrusion, and the positioning rib are placed and which can be deformed elastically. The positioning rib is placed between the engagement portion and the protrusion in the movement direction of the click spring. Because of this, a slide switch apparatus whose housing can be miniaturized is obtained.
