Abstract
A slide switch includes an operational member slidable in a direction along a virtual plane, a plurality of movable contacts arranged surrounding the operational member, a plurality of fixed contacts provided in correspondence with the movable contacts to render at least one of the movable contacts into a conductive state when the operational member is operated, a support member for slidably supporting the operational member via a sliding face provided on the back face of the operational member, a guide mechanism which allows integral displacement of the operational member and the support member in response to a depressing operation of the operational member in a normal direction and an urging mechanism operable to return the support member in the absence of the depressing operation.
