Abstract
A slide switch having a reduced number of parts and formed thin. The slide switch includes a case having first electrode pairs and a second electrode pair arranged in a bottom thereof, a slide member slidably mounted in the case, and a biasing member for biasing the slide member. The biasing member has projections formed on one surface of a floor thereof, and each having a back wall portion, and a first electric conductor disposed opposite the back wall portion. When the slide member is operated in the direction of one of the projections against a biasing force, the projection is elastically deformed whereby the electrodes of the first electrode pair become conductive through the first electric conductor. When the slide member in a neutral position is pressed in the direction of the floor, the electrodes of the second electrode pair become conductive through the second electric conductor.
