SWITCH

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a thin switch installed in an instrumental cluster and having a high-grade appearance. SOLUTION: This switch 21 comprises: a front sheet 25 having projecting parts (pressing parts) 34 formed by eliminating a parting line by continuing them to a sheet body 32; movable-side contacts 26 displacing with pressing movement of the projecting parts 34; and a circuit body 30 having fixed-side contacts 28 facing to and mutually contacting with the moving-side contacts 26, and an external connection means 29; and one or more spacer sheets 27 interlaid between the front sheet 25 and the circuit body 30 with through-holes 35 formed for securing contact between the contacts 26 and the contacts 28. The sheet body 32 is formed so as to continuously have switch operation parts 31 in areas around the projecting parts 34, and a covering part 33 for covering a surface of a base panel 24 of the instrument cluster 22.
