ABSTRACT:
A switch is used to detect opening/closing of a car door or the like in a vehicle, and the switch can be provided with a nice operation feeling and stable performance. Thin corrugated sections are provided on a cover that covers a switching-element, connection points of lead wires and lower portions of a housing of the switch. The switch performs a nice operation feeling with quick response, as upon pushing the cap, the corrugated sections of the cover expand outward to prevent air in the switch from being compressed.
