PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a rotary electric component which can be miniaturized, can realize low cost, and has less possibility of damage on a human body due to a shaft even when a knob is broken due to application of an excessive force. SOLUTION: The electronic component is provided with a fixed member 1 having a housing portion 1a; a rotary member 2 to be arranged on the housing portion 1a of the fixed member 1; an operating shaft having one end engaged with the rotary member 2 and performing rotary operation of the rotary member 2; a bearing member 4 integrally provided on the fixed member 1, having the other end of the operation shaft projecting outward, and rotatably holding the operation shaft; and a signal detecting means housed in the fixed member 1 and outputting an electric signal in response to the rotation of the rotary member 2. The operation shaft consists of a first shaft body 3 engaged with the rotary member 2 and pivotably supported by the bearing member 4; and second shaft bodies 5, 17 engaged with the first shaft body 3, projecting to the outside of the bearing member 4, and having the operation knob 14 attached thereon. The first shaft body 3 is formed of a metal material, and the second shaft bodies 5, 17 are each formed of a synthetic resin material. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
