Abstract

The present invention comprises fixed contacts buried in a housing, a first reversing spring made of metal, which is a movable contact accessible to the fixed contact, and a second reversing spring made of a rubber material for giving a pressing force to reverse the first reversing spring. In addition, a gap dimension for reversing the first reversing spring and the second reversing spring nearly simultaneously is provided between a top of the first reversing spring and a press section of the second reversing spring.
