Abstract
A switch includes a case, fixed electrodes, a movable electrode and a pressing member. The fixed electrodes and the movable electrode are arranged inside the recess. The pressing member is arranged so as to cover at least a part of the recess, and displaces the movable electrode from the second position to the first position by a pressing force from the outside. The pressing member includes a first bent part and a second bent part, and a deforming part disposed therebetween. The deforming part is opposed to the movable electrode with a gap in a state where the movable electrode is in the second position. The deforming part is configured to be flexibly deformed toward the outside of the case in a state where the movable electrode is in the first position in which the fixed electrodes are in a conductive state.
Claims2
A manufacturing method of a switch, comprising:
- holding a resin molded body by a plurality of dies;
- pressing the resin molded body from a first side thereof using a punch to form a plastic deformed part projecting to a second side opposite to the first side;
- deforming the plastic deformed part so as to project to the first side to form a first bent part and a second bent part;
- and
- arranging a part of the resin molded body disposed between the first bent part and the second bent part so as to be opposed to a movable electrode of the switch with a gap.
