Abstract
In a multiple operation type electrical part of the invention, a clicking member is disposed between an insulating base member, being a component part of a first rotary electrical part, and a second rotary member, being a component part of a second rotary electrical part. Therefore, it is possible to provide a very small multiple operation type electrical part whose size in the axial direction thereof is reduced. Conventional multiple operation type electrical parts require, in addition to a first rotary electrical part, a clicking mechanism formed by two cases, a clicking member, and a rotary member. Therefore, conventional multiple operation type electrical parts use a large number of parts, is expensive, has poor productivity, and is large in the axial direction thereof. The multiple operation type electrical part overcomes these problems.
