Abstract

A vehicle main switch includes a moving member with a movable contact, the moving member being detachably fitted to a crankshaft. A terminal is slidably contactable with the movable contact. The terminal is supported by and extends through an insulating plate. A cover is provided to cover the terminal. The moving member is fitted to the crankshaft so that the moving member, the insulating plate and the cover can be turned together through a predetermined angle in a direction of rotation of the crankshaft when the moving member is detached from the crankshaft. The cover includes a window through which a wiring coupler may be detachably coupled to the terminal.
