Abstract: This input system includes an input device, an electrostatic sensor, a conduction sensor, a controller, and a determiner. When a movable contact of the input device is pressed, electrostatic capacitance between a first electrode and a second electrode changes, and when the movable contact of the input device is further pressed after the electrostatic capacitance changes, a third electrode and a fourth electrode are electrically conductive to each other. The conduction sensor detects the conduction between the third electrode and the fourth electrode. The controller switches the sensing operation of the electrostatic sensor from the OFF state to the ON state after the conduction sensor detects the conduction between the third electrode and the fourth electrode. In the ON state, the electrostatic sensor outputs a detected value related to the electrostatic capacitance between the first electrode and the second electrode.

Abstract: A push-on switch includes a first contact plate, second contact plate, spacer, movable contact, and lid. The first plate has a projection at its center and a first terminal at its end. The second plate faces a face of the projection of the first contact plate and has an opening at its center and a second terminal at its end. The spacer is interposed between the first plate and the second plate for bonding them together. The movable contact is shaped like a dome and has a protrusion protruding downward and touches a top face of the second plate. The protrusion faces the projection of the first plate via the opening with a given space therebetween. The lid holds the movable contact and is mounted on the top face of the second plate. A push onto the movable contact reverses the movable contact downward, which allows the protrusion to touch the projection.

Abstract: A configuration of a push switch minimizes the extent to which the switch protrudes from a wiring board, and thereby allows for a device including the switch to have smaller dimensions. Minimizing the height by which the switch protrudes above the wiring board also minimizes the moment caused by the pressing the switch which is transferred to terminals soldered to the wiring board, and thus improves the mechanical strength of the attachment to the wiring board. The configuration includes, in part, a case having a terminal protruding therefrom, wherein a lower surface position of the terminal where soldering is performed is located above a bottom surface of the case.
