A shift lever device comprising:
- a body case configured to pivotally support a shift lever swingably;
- a circuit board including an electric component disposed on a board of the circuit board;
- a board cover including a housing part housing the circuit board in the board cover and configured to be mounted to the body case with the circuit board being housed in the housing part;
- a board supporting part provided to the board cover and configured to support the circuit board in the housing part;
- and
- an electric component supporting part provided to any one of the body case and the board cover and configured to support the electric component disposed on the circuit board,
- wherein the circuit board is configured to be supported to the body case via the board cover,
- the electric component includes
- a position switch configured to detect the shift lever being positioned in a parking range position, and
- a solenoid configured to actuate a shift lock mechanism configured to prevent a movement of the shift lever from the parking range position,
- the position switch and the solenoid are disposed on one surface of the circuit board,
- the board cover includes a flange formed on a peripheral portion of the board cover,
- the housing part is formed in the flange,
- the shift lock mechanism is housed in the housing part,
- the body case includes a side wall having an opening for the position switch and the solenoid to be inserted,
- the board cover is engaged with the side wall of the body case so that the position switch and the solenoid are disposed inside the body case via the opening, and
- the circuit board is configured to be supported to the body case via the board cover along the side wall of the body case.
