MULTI-USE SWITCH FOR ELECTRONIC DEVICE

摘要

A multi-use switch for an electronic device includes a pressing piece configured to be pressed by an external force, a number of conducting elements located on the pressing piece and electrically coupled to a number of functional circuits of the electronic device one-to-one, and at least one coupling element configured to be electrically coupled to the conducting elements. The multi-use switch is partially received inside a housing. The coupling element is fixed to the housing. The pressing piece moves along an axis to move the conducting elements relative to the coupling element. The coupling element completes an electric circuit of one of the functional circuits when the corresponding conducting element is moved to electrically couple to the at least one coupling element. One electric circuit of the functional circuits is able to be completed at any one time.
