Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3439007A1] To provide a push button switch that is capable of performing a two-stage input operation, that enables a pressing operation portion to be depressed without causing the pressing operation portion to interfere with other portions to achieve a smooth input operation, and that generates a desirable clicking sensation. A push button switch includes a plunger 2 including a first pusher portion 21 and a second pusher portion 22 that is apart from the first pusher portion 21; a first actuating portion 31 including a first body portion 311, a first skirt portion 312, and a first movable contact 314; and a second actuating portion 32 including a second body portion, a second skirt portion 322, and a second movable contact 324. When the plunger 2 is depressed by a distance A1, the second skirt portion 322 buckles and the second movable contact 324 comes into contact with a second circuit contact 43 on a circuit board 4 and the first pusher portion 21 comes into contact with the first body portion 311. When the plunger 2 is depressed by a distance B, the first skirt portion 312 buckles and the first movable contact 314 comes into contact with a second circuit contact 42.
