Abstract
This rotationally operated electronic component, with which it is possible to obtain a fixed, high operating torque in both of two shafts, is provided with: a first block body which is disposed on one side in an axial direction, and which has a first hole; a second block body which is disposed on the other side in the axial direction, and which has a second hole; an outside operating shaft having a first cylindrical portion which fits into the first hole in such a way as to rotate about the axis; an inside operating shaft which extends in the axial direction, penetrates through the first cylindrical portion and the second hole, and fits into the first cylindrical portion in such a way as to rotate about the axis; a rotating body which is fitted onto the inside operating shaft in such a way as to rotate integrally with the inside operating shaft, and which has a second cylindrical portion that fits into the second hole in such a way as to rotate about the axis; a first radial direction resilient member which is sandwiched in a radial gap between the inner circumferential surface of the first hole and the outer circumferential surface of the first cylindrical portion while being flexed against a restoring force; and a second radial direction resilient member which is sandwiched in a radial gap between the inner circumferential surface of the second hole and the outer circumferential surface of the second cylindrical portion while being flexed against a restoring force.
