A small and thin lateral pushing type push switch of the one- or two-step operation type in which excellent operation properties of a dome-like metal plate serving as a movable contact can be obtained is provided. The push switch has a presser 9 having: an inclined portion 9a which converts an operating force in the moving direction of a push button 11, to a force in the operation direction of a dome-like metal plate (6, 7); a flexible hinge portion 9b which allows the inclined portion 9a to be moved in the operation direction of the dome-like metal plate (6, 7); and a pressing portion 9c which presses down the dome-like metal plate (6, 7). The dome-like metal plate (6, 7) is disposed in two stages in the operation direction of the metal plate. |
