Abstract

A push-button switch comprises a cover member which is made from a synthetic resin, a switch case in which a plurality of fixed terminals are embedded by the unitary molding, and a slide member which receives movable contact pieces therein. Side walls of the switch case have thick-walled base portions and thin-walled upper edge portions, and the cover member is sandwiched between the pair of thin-walled upper edge portions so as to make the pair of opposing side walls parallel.
