Abstract:
A switch structure for a car electrical part, comprising:two or more terminal members each having one end connected to a function member or a wire member and the other end serving as a terminal-side contact portion; a movable contact piece contactable selectively with said terminal-side contact portions to thereby form a switch; and a base member including a terminal hold portion for arranging and holding said terminal members thereon in such a manner that said terminal-side contact portions have a given position relationship, and, a guide rail portion to be engageable with and hold said movable contact piece in such a manner that said movable contact piece is able to slide in a given direction; wherein said movable contact piece includes two contact-piece-side contact portions disposed perpendicular to the sliding direction of said movable contact piece for contact with said terminal-side contact portions, and a spring portion which, when it is elastically deformed, is in contact with said guide rail portion of said base member and, due to its elastic force, generates a given contact force between said contact-piece-side contact portions and said terminal-side contact portions.
