Abstract
A switch device includes an operating knob on which a tilting operation is performed, a detected portion that tilts with the tilting operation of the operating knob, a detection portion that detects movement of the detected portion, and a substrate on which the detection portion is arranged. The detection portion is aligned in an in-plane direction of the substrate and performs a switching operation upon detection of movement of the detected portion in the in-plane direction.
Claims10
A switch device, comprising:
- an operating knob on which a tilting operation is performed;
- a detected portion that tilts with the tilting operation of the operating knob;
- a detection portion that detects movement of the detected portion;
- and
- a substrate on which the detection portion is arranged,
- wherein the detection portion is aligned in an in-plane direction of the substrate and performs a switching operation upon detection of movement of the detected portion in the in-plane direction, and
- wherein the operating knob is arranged on a front surface side of the substrate, and the detection portion is arranged on a back surface side of the substrate.
