A push switch includes a switch section for carrying out electric connection by pushing, a switch case having a groove portion on a side surface thereof and accommodating the switch section, and a terminal produced integrally with the switch case and led out from a side surface of the switch case. The groove portion extends from a vicinity of the terminal.

Push switch

A taped component includes a career tape having an upper surface having recesses provided therein, and products stored in the recesses, respectively. Each of the recesses has a bottom on which each of the products is placed. The bottom has an aperture provided therein, and the aperture faces a position different from the center of gravity of each of the products. This taped component allows the product to be mounted efficiently.

A configuration of a push switch minimizes the extent to which the switch protrudes from a wiring board, and thereby allows for a device including the switch to have smaller dimensions. Minimizing the height by which the switch protrudes above the wiring board also minimizes the moment caused by the pressing the switch which is transferred to terminals soldered to the wiring board, and thus improves the mechanical strength of the attachment to the wiring board. The configuration includes, in part, a case having a terminal protruding therefrom, wherein a lower surface position of the terminal where soldering is performed is located above a bottom surface of the case.

Push switch and electronic device loaded therewith

An operating body being made of a metal plate and being overlaid with polyamide resin layer, a side of the operating body having an operating part protruding from a front side of a switch case, and an other side having a driving part in an arm shape and a sliding guide in a frame shape surrounding the driving part, in which the driving part in the arm shape being compression pressed to be a thin plate, and the sliding guide being formed with an upper sliding contact in a hemisphere shape coming into contact with an undersurface of cover above the contact and a lower sliding contact formed long in back and forth direction coming into contact with a protective sheet under the contact.

A push switch is arranged to be mounted on a board. The push switch includes a case, a plurality of contacts provided in the case, an operation body for activating the plurality of contacts upon being pushed in an operation direction parallel to the surface of the board, first and second terminals protruding from the case. The case has first and second side surfaces opposite to each other. The first terminal includes a first base portion protruding from the first side surface of the case, and a first end portion extending from the first base portion in a direction non-parallel to perpendicular to the operation direction. The second terminal includes a second base portion protruding from the second side surface of the case and a second end portion extending from the second base portion in a direction non-parallel to perpendicular to the operation direction. The push switch has a small size and is mounted securely onto a board.

A push switch includes a case having a bottom face, first and second fixed contacts provided on the bottom face of the case, a movable contact made of metal thin plate, an elastic body, and an operating body. The elastic body includes a cylindrical portion having a hole formed therein, a conical portion provided below the cylindrical portion, a projection located above the movable contact, and a junction portion coupling the projection to the cylindrical portion. This push switch can provide a long over-stroke after being turned on.
