Abstract
A rotary switch device includes a terminal base to which a center portion contact and a fixed contact member are fixed, a movable contact member, and a support portion. The movable contact member includes a contact protrusion part which is pressed in contact with the center portion contact at one end of the movable contact member and a first contact surface which is in contact with the fixed contact member at another end of the movable contact member, and which is operated to rotate around the center portion contact so as to short-circuit between the center portion contact and the fixed contact member at a conductive rotation position.
Claims5
A rotary switch device comprising:
- a terminal base to which a center portion contact and a fixed contact member are fixed;
- a movable contact member;
- and
- a support portion,
- wherein the movable contact member includes a contact protrusion part which is pressed in contact with the center portion contact at one end of the movable contact member and a first contact surface which is in contact with the fixed contact member at another end of the movable contact member, and which is operated to rotate around the center portion contact so as to short-circuit between the center portion contact and the fixed contact member at a conductive rotation position,
- wherein the support portion is formed in the terminal base and supports an edge corner portion along a rotation direction when the first contact surface of the movable contact member is operated to rotate, and
- wherein the moveable contact member is configured to slide on the support portion with the edge corner portion as a sliding contact portion and moves to the conductive rotation position in which the first contact surface is in contact with the fixed contact member.
