Abstract
Provided are a rotary operating element which is rotated about an axis of a rotation shaft with an operator's finger when operating or stopping vehicle-mounted equipment mounted on a vehicle, a rotary encoder which detects displacement of rotation of the rotary operating element about the axis; and a housing which accommodates the rotary operating element and the rotary encoder and holds the rotary operating element so as to be relatively rotatable about the axis. The rotary operating element has an accommodating chamber in which the rotary encoder is accommodated.
