A high-pressure fuel supply pump with high performance is capable of securely preventing a cylinder section from seizing up and also permits improved sealing performance to minimize the chance of fuel leakage. The high-pressure fuel supply pump has: a casing (48) having a cylindrical cavity (48a); a sleeve (40) which has a cylinder section (40a) and a fixing section (40c), one end thereof closer to the fixing section (40c) being abutted against the bottom of the cavity (48a); and a piston (53) which is disposed in the cylinder section (40a). The high-pressure fuel supply pump takes in fuel through an intake passage (36) by the reciprocation of the piston (53) into a fuel pressurizing chamber (52) to pressurize it, then discharges the pressurized fuel through a discharge passage (37) to forcibly feed it into a fuel injector of a cylinder injection engine. A cylindrical slit (40d) is provided between the cylinder section (40a) and the fixing section (40c) of the sleeve (40), and the fixing section (40c) is secured by being fastened toward the bottom of a cavity (48a) by a cylindrical fastening member (64) screwed to the cavity (48a).

A moving contact assembly to which a moving contact is fitted so as to allow a normally open common fixed contact part to elude the moving contact and axially pass through is mounted detachably on a fixed core. A contact mold having a normally closed fixed contact part and a cap switch provided with a normally open fixed contact part, a normally closed common fixed contact part, and a normally open common fixed contact part are made axially separable. The contact mold is turned 90 degrees in one direction to allow the normally open common fixed contact part to elude the moving contact and axially pass through. Thus, when the contact mold is turned 90 degrees in the other direction to the contact mold's former condition, the moving contact can be positioned within a recessed groove of a common fixed contact.
