Abstract
A multi-directional detect switch () includes an insulative housing (), a number of fixed terminals () embedded in the insulative housing, a moveable contact (), and an actuator () positioned on the moveable contact. The fixed terminals include a pair of fixed grounding terminals () and a number of fixed periphery terminals (-). The moveable contact contacts with the fixed grounding terminal and has a number of periphery beams (). When the actuator is operated obliquely, one or two periphery beams of the moveable contact is depressed by the actuator for contacting with corresponding one or two fixed periphery terminals, to thereby electrically connect the fixed periphery terminals with the fixed grounding terminal.
