Abstract
A switch device includes a substrate including stationary contacts arranged side by side, a contact including linear parts having elasticity and movable contacts, a housing holding a base of the contact and including beams having elasticity each of which is disposed above the corresponding one of the linear parts, and a slider disposed above the housing. A first pressing part is formed on a lower face of each of the beams, and a pressed part is formed on an upper face thereof. Second pressing parts are formed on the slider. When the slider moves in the front-back direction in conjunction with the operation of an operation knob, the second pressing parts press the pressed parts to bend the beams downward, the first pressing parts press the linear parts to bend the linear parts downward, and the movable contacts come into contact with the stationary contacts.
