Abstract
A push-on switch is pushed horizontally to the surface of a printed wiring board used in various electronic apparatuses. The push-on switch is of a surface mounted type, in which only front terminals lead from case can be extended vertically downwardly and soldered to the inside of through holes in land parts having the through hole of printed wiring board. Front terminals work as a maintaining means for maintaining a stable mounted state to improve proof strength against an operating force horizontal to the printed wiring board surface. Therefore, the stable mounted state to the printed wiring board is kept also when horizontal pushing is repeated.
