SWITCHING ARRANGEMENT

To ensure a relatively high contact pressure between a movable contact and a fixed contact, while reducing the thickness of a resin part.SOLUTION: A switching arrangement includes a first contact terminal formed in a first metallic member, a second contact terminal formed in a second metallic member, and separated from the first contact terminal in a first direction, a movable contact formed in the first metallic member, extending in a cantilevered manner toward the second proximal region of the second contact terminal in the first direction, having elasticity, and capable of being depressed to the first side in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, a fixed contact formed in the second metallic member, extending toward a first proximal region of the first contact terminal in the first direction, and holding the movable contact in elastic displacement state by abutting on the tip of the movable contact in the second direction, a resin part for enclosing a part including the first proximal region of the first metallic member in a manner of exposing the movable contact and the fixed contact, and a part including the second proximal region of the second metallic member with a resin material, and a reinforcement part formed in at least any one of the first and second metallic members, extending to a region between the first and second connection terminals in the first direction, and enclosed in the resin part.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 7B 【課題】樹脂部の厚みの低減を図りつつ、可動接点と固定接点との間に比較的高い接触圧を確保すること。【解決手段】第１金属部材に形成される第１接続端子と、第２金属部材に形成され、第１方向で第１接続端子から離れた第２接続端子と、第１金属部材に形成され、片持ち梁状に第１方向で第２接続端子の第２基部に向かう側に延在し、弾性を有し、かつ第１方向に垂直な第２方向の第１側に押下げ可能な可動接点と、第２金属部材に形成され、第１方向で第１接続端子の第１基部に向かう側に延在し、かつ可動接点の先端部に第２方向で当接することで可動接点を弾性変形状態で保持する固定接点と、可動接点及び固定接点が露出する態様で第１金属部材の第１基部を含む一部及び第２金属部材の第２基部を含む一部を樹脂材料で内包する樹脂部と、第１金属部材及び第２金属部材のうちの少なくともいずれか一方に形成され、第１方向で第１接続端子と第２接続端子との間の領域に延在し、かつ樹脂部に内包される補強部とを含む、スイッチ装置が開示される。【選択図】図７Ｂ
