Abstract
A slide switch includes a slider, a case into which the slider is inserted, performing switching by a sliding operation of the slider, cushioning (an upper part, a left part, and a right part) provided at contacting places in the side of the slider where the slider and the case come into contact by the sliding operation of the slider for relieving the contact, and a cushioning holding member for integrally supporting the cushioning, wherein the case has case inner faces on which the slider slides, and which face each other along a horizontal direction, one of the inner faces of the case has a positioning part for positioning the slider at three positions, and the other of the inner faces of the case has a positioning part for positioning the slider at two positions. The cushioning can reduce generation of vibration noise of the slide switch due to vibration of a vehicle under running and operation noise due to a switching operation to improve an operation feeling of the vehicle.
