Abstract
A position indicator includes a cylindrical case, a signal output device, a core body portion, an urging device, a substrate, a plurality of flat springs, and a conduction member. The signal output device is in the case and outputs a detection signal to a position detection device. The core body portion is provided to be freely movable inside the case along an axial direction. The urging device urges the core body portion toward one end side of the case. The substrate includes a circuit connected to the signal output device, and extends in a direction parallel with the axial direction. The flat springs have elasticity in the axial direction, protrude from the substrate toward the core body portion while making contact with the end surface. The conduction member causes the flat springs to become conductive to each other by moving to a position of contact with the flat springs.
