  • Patent number: 8952279
    Abstract: A slide switch is provided that is more excellent in reliability than conventional techniques. A slide switch senses an extracted state and an inserted and engaged state of an object. The slide switch includes a body, a slider, a terminal, and an armature. The slider is slidably held in the body and is pushed by insertion of the object to slidingly move. The terminal is provided with a fixed contact point disposed on a surface, facing the slider, of the body along a sliding movement direction. The armature is attached to the slider and is provided with a moving contact point that slides on a fixed contact point disposition surface of the body in association with sliding movement of the slider. In the entire range of the sliding movement, the body and the slider cover all around the fixed contact point and the armature.

Terminals are provided with fixed contact points disposed on a surface, facing the slider, of the body along a sliding movement direction. The armature is attached to the slider and is provided with moving contact points that slide on a fixed contact point disposition surface of the body in association with sliding movement of the slider. The slider has an armature mounting surface with a side wall protrudingly formed in one end in the sliding movement direction. The body has a facing surface facing an end surface of the side wall in an entire range of sliding movement. At least any one of an end in the sliding movement direction of the end surface of the side wall and an end in the sliding movement direction of the facing surfaces of the body has a foreign substance elimination groove formed therein.
