Abstract
An idle position detection switch, in which a fixed contact, a terminal for transmitting an idle position signal to an external terminal, and a support disc firmly attaching both the fixed contact and the terminal are insert-molded into a connector made of a resin. As a result of the construction, not only the switch can be fabricated with less components and less cost, but also each contact portion has such an improved rigidity as to allow the incidence of false contacts to be reduced.
