Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A rotary operation type switch includes a holder, a rotary control, a shaft, a press-fitting portion, an outer wall part, and a stopper. The holder is provided in a state of immobility in the rotational direction. The rotary control rotates relatively with respect to the holder when a rotational force is imparted. The shaft transmits the rotational force imparted to the rotary control. The press-fitting portion is provided to The rotary control, and an end of the shaft is inserted into it. The outer wall part is provided along a direction perpendicular to the rotational direction of the rotary control. The stopper is provided to the holder, and comes into contact with the outer wall part and restricts the limit position of the rotation range when the rotary control and the shaft rotate relatively with respect to the holder.
