A steering wheel remote control for a vehicle, the steering wheel remote control comprising:
- a first button and a second button arranged on a top surface of the remote control, the first and second buttons configured to move downward when being pressed;
- a first printed circuit board (PCB) and a second PCB each of which arranged under the first button and the second button;
- a pusher arranged between the first button and the first PCB;
- a block portion arranged under the first button and fixedly coupled to the first button;
- and
- a first plate arranged under the block portion,
- wherein the first PCB comprises a first switch terminal configured to be pressed downward to perform a first function when the first button moves downward,
- wherein the second PCB comprises a second switch terminal configured to be pressed downward to perform a second function when the second button moves downward,
- wherein the first PCB and the second PCB are spaced apart from each other in a vertical direction,
- wherein the first PCB is located below the second PCB,
- wherein the pusher is configured to contact the first switch terminal and press the first switch terminal when the first button moves downward,
- wherein the pusher includes:
- a body portion arranged to be above the first switch terminal and facing the first switch terminal;
- and
- an extension portion extending upward from the body portion, and
- wherein, when the first button moves downward, the extension portion is configured to be pressed downward while the body portion presses the first switch terminal for performing the first function,
- wherein the extension portion faces the block portion,
- wherein, when the first button moves downward, the block portion interferes with the extension portion to press the extension portion downward,
- wherein an opening is defined in the block portion,
- wherein the second button and the first plate face each other through the opening, and
- wherein, when the second button moves downward, the first plate is configured to be pressed downward to press the second switch terminal for performing the second function.
