MOVING CONTACT, MOVING CONTACT BODY FORMED BY USING IT, AND SWITCH

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a moving contact formed into an upward protrusion dome shape; to provide a moving contact body formed by using it; and to provide a switch capable of mitigating effect on a contact object such as a corresponding center contact. SOLUTION: Downward protrusions 60 each having an elongated linear shape in a top surface view and extending in the radial direction are arranged at least at three parts at the center position of a spherical part 53 carrying out an inversion action to form a radial pattern; and the respective protrusions 60 are set such that the downward protrusion amounts are increased as they approach the outer side from the center side, and are each protrusively formed to have a flat surface of a predetermined width in the circumferential direction to be able to linearly contact the contact object, whereby contact pressure is appropriately dispersed and the degree of effect on the contact object can be reduced.
