Disclosed is a hydrogenated copolymer obtained by hydrogenating a copolymer which comprises an aromatic vinyl monomer unit and a chain conjugated diene monomer unit. When, among at least two hydrogenated copolymer-derived peaks in an elution curve measured by gel permeation chromatography of a sample containing the hydrogenated product, a hydrogenated copolymer-derived peak exhibiting a peak top with the earliest elution time is defined as a first peak and a hydrogenated copolymer-derived peak exhibiting a peak top with the second earliest elution time is defined as a second peak, the ratio of a standard polystyrene-equivalent molecular weight based on the elution time of the first peak (first peak molecular weight) to a standard polystyrene-equivalent molecular weight based on the elution time of the second peak (second peak molecular weight) is 1.50 or more. The second peak molecular weight is 1,000 or more.

A proximity sensor apparatus has a detection electrode that forms an electrostatic capacitance between the detection electrode and an object to be detected. The detection electrode is fitted to an electrode base plate. The detection section detects electrostatic capacitance based on output of the detection electrode. The electrode base plate is supported by a push-button switch. When the object to be detected approaches the detection electrode, the electrostatic capacitance changes. Approach of the object to be detected can be detected by a change in electrostatic capacitance. When the object to be detected contacts the detection electrode, the push-button switch is turned on. The push-button switch is turned on, and thereby contact of the object to be detected can be detected.
