The stopper function is also used in the case 80 by contacting the upper end of the case 80, so that it is not necessary to provide a separate stopper mechanism, and the structure can be simplified.

In the above embodiment, the rotary electronic component A
A rotary switch mechanism is configured by disposing a slider 105 and the like between the rotary sliding type object 100 and the sliding type sliding type object 50. 5
A rotary switch, a rotary variable resistor, or the like having another structure may be configured by attaching to the zero side, changing the pattern structure, or the like. In essence, a rotary sliding object 100
It is sufficient that an electrical function unit that changes a predetermined electrical output by rotating the rotary sliding type object 100 is provided in the portion.

Further, as shown in FIG. 9, the structure of the slide-type electronic component portion B may be changed so that the push button switch (electrical function portion) 200 is pressed by the slide portion 61. Further, as shown in the figure, for example, a stopper 203 is formed at the tip of an arm portion 201 protruding from the mounting plate 10, and the stopper 203 is attached to the rotary sliding object 100.
The case may be omitted by contacting the contact portions 101, 101 with each other. Although a mechanism for sliding the slide portion 61 is not shown, various structures may be used.
Further, in addition to configuring the sliding electronic component section B for turning on and off the push button switch by the sliding of the sliding section 61 as in the above-described embodiments, other electrical outputs such as configuring a sliding variable resistor may be obtained. May be configured. In short, it is only necessary to provide an electric function unit that changes a desired electric output by sliding the slide unit to constitute a slide-type electronic component unit. In addition, as described above, the stopper does not need to be formed on the case, but in essence, it is configured so that both abutting portions of the rotary sliding type abut against the stopper provided at a predetermined portion of the sliding electronic component portion. Any configuration may be used.
