Abstract
A push-push switch includes a housing having a space, a plurality of stationary terminals received in the housing, a button assembled to the housing, a movable terminal assembled to the button, and a spring member located between the housing and the button. The space has a first post defining a protrusion thereon. The stationary terminal defines a contacting portion extending onto a surface of the first post and a soldering portion extending out of the housing. The movable terminal further defines a downwardly-extending contact arm and a downwardly-extending felt-generated spring arm extending from a planar base portion thereof while at different positions. The contact arm is established electrically connection with the contacting portion of the stationary terminal when the button is depressed, and the felt-generated spring arm is engaged with the protrusion of the first post in the meantime.
