ELECTRONIC COMPONENT OPERATED BY ROTATION

摘要

Provided is a technique whereby the heat load becomes smaller than in prior art for an electronic component mounted on an object. The invention comprises: a main body part (1) provided with an electronic component unit section (11) for generating an electric signal and a clicking feel in response to the rotation of an engagement-receiving section (11b), a shaft-receiving section (12) provided with a cylindrical section (12b) inserted in a through-hole formed in the object, and a retaining member (13); and a metallic operation shaft (2) capable of rotating the engagement-receiving section (11b), inserted in the cylindrical section (12b) and engaging the engagement-receiving section (11b) after the object has been treated by reflow soldering. The operation shaft (2) inserted in the cylindrical section (12b) is retained by the retaining member (13).
