Abstract: A push switch includes a housing; a fixed contact member, including a fixed contact, placed inside the housing; a movable contact member, including a movable portion, placed inside the housing; a slider, which moves in a vertical direction, placed above the fixed contact member and the movable contact member; and an elastic member, having a restoring force in a direction in which the slider separates from the housing, placed between the housing and the slider. A movable member is placed between the housing and the slider and is in contact with a part of the slider and is movable as the slider moves. As the slider is pushed toward the housing, the movable member in contact with the slider moves, whereby the fixed contact and the movable portion are separated from each other, or the fixed contact and the movable portion are brought into contact with each other.
