In a limit switch, its rotational operation section B includes a rotary shaft 9 which is rotatably supported on a head housing 5, and an actuator 10 for turning the rotary shaft 9, and its switch section C comprises a detector 29 which is built in a switch housing 3, to detect particular detection parts 27a and 27b in a non-contact mode which are provided on the outer cylindrical surface of a cam 25 mounted fixedly on the rotary shaft 9, thereby to provide a detection signal. The head housing 5 and the switch housing 3 are formed as one unit. A limit switch which is simple in construction, has a small number of components in comparison with the conventional limit switch, can be miniaturized, has a long service life, and is reliable in operation, is provided.
