Abstract: A microswitch in which a good snap action feeling is obtained and an operating stroke is large is provided. Included in the microswitch is a swingable lever which is pushed by a pressing projection of a push button swingably pivotally supported. One end of the lever is pivotally supported and the other end is coupled with one end of a movable member having a movable contact. The movable member is biased by a spring in one direction.

Abstract: A microswitch in which a good snap action feeling is obtained and an operating stroke is enhanced is provided. A compession spring is interposed between a movable member and a swingable lever which are respectively pivotaly supported at close positions. The swingable lever is operated by a push button which is vertically slidable. Further, restricting plates to restrict the motion in the width direction of the movable member are attached to the push button. A positioning member to hold the swingably lever to the position which faces the push button when the microswitch is assembled is also provided.
