Abstract: A push switch includes: a hollow housing having an inner circumferential surface formed with a guide part; an operation button formed with a first ratchet tooth; a cam follower including a cam part, and a second ratchet tooth, and being movable up and down in an axial direction and rotatable in a circumferential direction; a first spring; an engagement piece engaged with the cam follower; a movable contact; a metallic contact member rotatable integrally with the cam follower; a fixed terminal including contacts to be switched by rotating the contact member; and a base on which the fixed terminal is fixed. The contact member defines a through hole at a rotation center of the contact member. The base includes a rotation axis part inserted in the through hole and serving as the rotation center of the contact member.
