Abstract
An idle position detecting switch includes a metal housing supported on a throttle body and being electrically connected to the throttle body. the housing contains a push rod which is axially slidable therein, one end of which forms a moveable contact in the housing. A fixed contact is fixed in the housing via a resinous insulator which is connected to a resinous guide for supporting and guiding the push rod. A metal spring in the housing biases the push rod such that the movable contact is spaced from the fixed contact and has opposite ends respectively connected to the movable contact and the housing. As a result, the guide and insulator can independently be incorporated with each other even before a connector is fixed to the housing.
