Abstract
This invention provides a switch in which the switch components are separately arranged at the portion where the switch components tend to be arranged in a concentrated manner in the housing without being collectively arranged in one region in the housing to achieve miniaturization and slimming, and in which the welding avoiding performance at the contact is enhanced to extend the lifespan, and an electronic device. A switch includes an operating element which is supported in a housing and which is oscillation operated to one side and the other side, a power supply switch mechanismfor bringing contacts of a movable piece and a fixed terminal facing each other in the housing into contact with each other to turn ON a power supply in cooperation with the ON operation when the operating element is oscillated to one side and ON operated, and a power supply reset mechanism for holding and releasing the ON state of the power supply switch mechanism, wherein the power supply reset mechanism is arranged on one side in an oscillation operating direction of the operating element, and the power supply switch mechanism is arranged on the other side in the oscillation operating direction of the operating element.
