An acceleration detecting device comprising a mass body inserted in a casing so as to be movable in the forward and backward direction, an elastic member for biasing the mass body backward, stationary contacts provided on the casing, moving contacts provided on the mass body, and auxiliary moving contacts also provided on the mass body, wherein the moving contacts contact with the stationary contacts when acceleration applied to the mass body causes the mass body to advance a predetermined distance against the bias of the elastic member, and when the mass body advances further and the mass body collides against the casing, the auxiliary moving contacts contact with the stationary contacts at the distal end of the range in which the mass body moves.
