Abstract
A switch device includes: a printed circuit board provided with a connector; a rubber sheet; an operating knob; an operating mechanism; an operating mechanism plate; and a housing having a side surface provided with an insertion hole and a bottom surface provided with a discharge hole. The rubber sheet has a connector portion discharge path configured to guide the liquid entering the housing through the insertion hole to the discharge hole. The connector portion discharge path has one end connected to a part of the rubber sheet covering the connector, extends to be inclined from the one end toward the discharge hole provided on the bottom surface, and has the other end formed in a vicinity of the bottom surface and separated from the rubber sheet covering the connector. A gap exists between a lower end portion of the rubber sheet covering the connector and the other end.
