<p>The invention provides a lateral pushing type push-button switch which is small and thin, and in which a movable-contact depressing stroke that is longer than that in the prior art can be ensured without increasing the height of the switch. In the lateral pushing type push-button switch of the invention, a pair of guiding portions (8) against which an actuating portion (9b) that is projected from a pressing portion (9a) of an operating member (9) into a housing (1) is buttable are disposed in a cover (7) which is attached to an upper portion of the housing (1). The switch has a second actuating member (10) which is formed in continuously with a peripheral portion (10a) that is accommodated in a peripheral side portion of the housing (1), and which is projected into the housing (1) to be opposed to the actuating portion (9b). When the operating member (9) is pressed in a lateral direction, the actuating portion (9b) and the second actuating member (10) are downward displaced to depress movable contacts (5, 6) to be contacted with stationary contacts (2a, 3a, 4a).
