Abstract
A magnet switch includes a resinous switch cover and an external terminal. The switch cover has a cylindrical metal member insert-molded into a fixing portion, and the external terminal is disposed inside the metal member. The external terminal has an anchoring head having a first sealing surface at one end and a screw portion extending to the other end that protrudes from the switch cover. A nut is screwed to the screw portion at the other end so as to generate an axial force between the nut and the anchoring head, thereby fixing the external terminal. The switch cover has a second sealing surface opposite the first sealing portion, and a seal member is disposed in a gap between the first and second sealing surfaces to seal the gap.
