The rear terminal portion on the side increases the welding strength of the terminal reinforcing portion with respect to the substrate; thereby, the welding strength of the front terminal portion to the substrate with a large load caused by the button operation can be improved, and therefore, even if the terminal portion is miniaturized, sufficient sufficient thickness can be ensured. Welding strength. That is, it is possible to reduce the size of the push button switch. Further, according to the push button switch of the present invention, the terminal reinforcing portion enlarges the welding surface of the front terminal portion; and the welding strength of the front terminal portion with respect to the substrate can be increased in proportion to the size of the enlarged welding surface. Further, according to the push button switch of the present invention, the terminal portion has an exposed surface on the lower surface of the casing. The enlarged welding surface is formed by enlarging the exposed surface of the front terminal portion than the exposed surface of the rear terminal portion, thereby forming a terminal reinforcing portion; thereby not changing the terminal portion. The amount of lead-out from the side of the casing can increase the welding strength of the entire switch to the substrate, and the front terminal portion can be mounted more securely than the rear terminal portion. Further, according to the push button switch of the present invention, the terminal portion is provided with a welding surface from the lower surface of the casing via the step portion, and the step portion of the front terminal portion is formed inside the step portion of the rear terminal portion, thereby expanding the welding surface and forming the terminal reinforcing portion. Therefore, the size of the welded surface can be changed by changing the position of the step portion, so that the front terminal portion can be firmly attached to the substrate more easily than the rear terminal portion. Further, according to the push button switch of the present invention, the front terminal portion and the central fixed contact are electrically connected, and the rear terminal portion and the peripheral fixed contact are electrically connected, so that the extended surface can be ensured even if the exposed surface of the soldered terminal is increased. The distance between the joints is fixed, so that the ingress of flux during welding can be suppressed. Further, according to the push button switch of the present invention, the terminal portion is bent upward by the terminal lead-out portion that is led out from the side surface of the casing, so that the welding strength in the direction from the side surface of the casing can be ensured, and the terminal can be easily visually confirmed. welding. Further, according to the push button switch of the present invention, the terminal reinforcing portion exposes a part of the welding surface of the front terminal portion to the button side, thereby improving the direction in which the front terminal portion is led out from the side surface of the casing and the direction orthogonal thereto. Since the welding strength is small, even if the terminal portion is miniaturized, sufficient welding strength can be ensured. In other words, it is possible to reduce the size of the push button switch. Further, according to the push button switch of the present invention, the welding surface of the front terminal portion is inclined with respect to the direction in which the front terminal portion is led out from the side surface of the casing or is bent upward in a parallel folding curve, so that a part of the welding surface is exposed to the button side. The terminal reinforcement portion is formed so that the portion of the welding surface of the front terminal portion can be easily exposed to the front surface of the casing. Further, according to the push button switch of the present invention, the terminal reinforcing portion cuts the front end portion of the front terminal portion to lengthen the end face length of the welded surface, and the mounting strength of the welded surface can be improved. According to the invention, according to the fourth aspect of the invention, the front terminal portion is formed in a wide width on the rear side of the casing: the rear terminal portion is formed on the front side 1 of the casing to ensure a larger welding surface and can be obtained from a common belt shape. The metal material efficiently acquires the front terminal portion and the rear terminal portion of the fixed joint of 106821.doc 1291187, thereby reducing the cost. [Embodiment] An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Fig. 1 is a plan view of a push button switch in the embodiment. Fig. 2 is a front view of the push button switch, Fig. 3 is a bottom view of the push button switch, and Fig. 4 is a sectional view taken along line VIII of Fig. 1. As shown in the figures, in the present embodiment, the push button switch 丨 has a housing 3 that houses the button 2 and the contact portion 10, and a terminal portion that is electrically connected to the contact portion 10 and that is outwardly drawn from the side of the housing 3. 15, # By operating the button 2, the switch can be switched. The push button switch of this embodiment is a horizontal press type in which the button 2 can be operated in the horizontal direction with respect to the substrate. As shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. 2, the casing 3 is formed in a substantially square box shape and is formed of an insulating material such as resin. As shown in Fig. 3, the case 3 accommodates the push button 2 and the contact portion 10, and by moving the push button 2 in the front-rear direction, the contact portions 10 are abutted or separated to switch between opening and closing. Here, on the upper surface 6 of the casing 3, the center portion is cut into the casing 3 to form an inclined piece 7 facing the movable contact 14 to be described later. As shown in FIG. 4, the inclined piece 7 moves the button 2 which is operable in the horizontal direction downward, and a U-shaped slit is formed in the upper surface 6 of the casing 3, by folding the portion surrounded by the slit downward. Formed by the song. Although the inclined piece 7 is formed by bending the upper surface 6 of the casing 3 in the present embodiment, it is not limited to the embodiment, and for example, it may be mounted from the upper surface 6 of the casing 3 in a suspended manner. The button 2 for performing the switching operation is formed of a resin material and disposed at the upper portion of the casing 2. Further, the contact portion 2a having a contact with a movable contact 14 to be described later at the tip end has a pressing portion 106821.doc 1291187 2c that is exposed outside from the front surface of the casing 3 via the operating portion. When the pressing portion 2C is pressed to the inside of the casing 3, the contact portion 2a and the inclined piece 7 are slid and guided downward, and the movable contact 14 which also serves as a key spring to be described later is pressed downward to be reversed. Each of the contact portions abuts to generate a keystroke sensation and a configuration for switching the switch. The contact portion 1 of the valley in the installation 3 is composed of a fixed contact 11 and a movable contact 14 as shown in Fig. 3 . The fixed contact 11 is composed of a central fixed contact 丨 2 and a peripheral fixed contact 13 having a substantially circular central contact portion 12a formed in a convex shape; the peripheral fixed contact 13 is in the left and right direction The symmetrical position sandwiching the central fixed contact 12 has peripheral contact portions 13a, 13a of a substantially rectangular shape formed in a convex shape. Fig. 5 is a front elevational view showing the shape of the fixed contact 11 in the present embodiment. The central fixed contact 12 is formed in a plate shape from a conductive material such as metal. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the central fixed contact 12 has a central connecting portion 12b that is electrically connected to the central contact portion 12a and extends straight toward the front of the casing 3. The connecting portion 12b is substantially orthogonally connected to the front connecting piece 12c that linearly extends to the left and right sides of the casing 3. Similarly, the peripheral fixed contact 13 is formed of a conductive material such as metal, and has a peripheral connecting portion 13b that is electrically connected to each peripheral contact portion 13c and extends in a direction opposite to the central connecting portion i2b, and is electrically connected to the peripheral connecting portion i3b. A rear connecting piece i3c extending straight to the left and right sides of the casing 3. That is, the front tab and the rear tab 13c are disposed to be substantially parallel to each other. Each of the fixed contacts 11 is inlaid and fixed by exposing the center contact portion 12a and the peripheral contact portions 13a and 13a to the inner bottom surface of the casing 3, and is housed in the casing 3 to be fixed. Further, terminal portions 15 and 15 which are protruded from the left and right side faces 4 and 4 of the casing 3 are provided at both ends of each of the connecting pieces 12c and 13c, respectively, 106821.doc -11 - 1291187. That is, the front and rear terminal portions 15a and 15a which are electrically connected to the central fixed contact 12 and the rear terminal portions 15b and 15b which are electrically connected to the peripheral fixed contact are led out from the both side faces 4 and 4 of the casing 3. FIG. 6 is an enlarged bottom view showing the periphery of the terminal portion 15. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the terminal portion 15 has a step portion 23 at the end portions of the two connecting pieces 12c, 13c, respectively, and one end portion is bent downward by the step portion 23, the rigid end thereof and the lower surface of the casing 3 5 is roughly parallel. That is, the terminal portions 15 each have an exposed surface 24 exposing the lower surface 5 of the casing 3, and are led out from the side surface 4 of the casing 3 along the lower surface 5 of the casing 3. In the present embodiment, the step portion 23 of the front terminal portion i5a is defined as a specific position inside the installation body 3, and the step portion 23 of the rear terminal portion 丨5b is defined as the vicinity of the side surface 4 of the casing 3. That is, the front terminal portion i5a is led out from the inner side of the casing 3 than the rear terminal portion 1?. The lower surface of the terminal portion 15 led out from the casing 3 is a soldering surface 16 mounted on the substrate 5, and the push button switch is integrally fixed by the bonding of the substrate 5A and the welded portion 16. That is, the exposed surface 24 of the lower surface 5 of the exposed casing 3 is also the welded surface 16 of the substrate 50. Further, the front terminal portion i5a is formed wide on the rear side of the casing 3 and the rear terminal portion 15b on the front side of the casing 3, thereby expanding the welded surface 16. The front terminal portion 15& which is disposed near the button 2 side, is loaded with a larger load than the rear terminal portion 15b by the operation of the button 2. Therefore, the terminal reinforcing portion 17 〇 having a higher tantalum strength to the substrate 50 than the rear terminal portion 15b is formed on the front terminal portion 15a, and the welding strength is proportional to the size of the welded surface 16. In other words, the terminal reinforcing portion i 7 is a portion of the exposed surface i6a of the front terminal portion 15a that is larger than the rear terminal portion i5b on the inner side of the casing 3. Fig. 7 is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which the terminal portion 15 106821.d〇i -12 - 1291187 is mounted on the substrate 50 in the present embodiment, and Fig. 7 (the hook indicates the relationship between the front terminal portion 15a and the substrate 50).

Therefore, for the rear terminal portion 丨5b, only the portion of the terminal reinforcing portion 丨7 can be securely mounted on the substrate 50. Moreover, because the front terminal portion 15a and Since the amount of lead-out of the rear terminal portion 15b from the side surface 4 of the casing 3 is the same, the welding strength of the front terminal 15a to the substrate 50 can be increased without increasing the amount of lead-out from the casing 3. That is, even if the terminal portion 15 itself is miniaturized It is also possible to ensure the welding strength of the front terminal portion 15a to which the operation load generated by the button 2 is particularly applied, and it is possible to miniaturize the entire switch 1. The step portion 23 can be easily formed by press working. 15a and a center disposed at substantially the center of the casing 3 The fixed contact 12 is electrically connected, and the rear terminal portion 15b is electrically connected to the peripheral fixed contact 13 which is disposed so as to sandwich the central fixed contact 12 in the left-right direction of the casing 3. That is, since the central fixed contact Since the 12 is disposed at a position apart from the peripheral fixed contact 13 with respect to the terminal portion 15, the soldering surface 16 can be formed to the housing as compared with the 刖 terminal portion 15a and the rear terminal portion 15b that are connected to the central fixed contact 12V. Further, the 子' sub-portion 15a is led out from the inner side of the lower surface 5 of the casing 3 to form the terminal reinforcing portion 17, and the distance to the central fixed contact 12 can be secured. The front terminal portion 15 & the welding strength to the substrate π is increased and the flux can be prevented from being fixed to the joint U. 106821.doc -13 - 1291187 Although in the present embodiment, the terminal portion 15 is formed to be straight from the side 4 of the casing 3 Although the shape is derived, as shown in Fig. 8, a shape in which the distal end of the terminal portion 15 is bent upward may be formed. Thereby, the strength of the connection between the terminal portion 15 and the substrate 5 is ensured, and the visual confirmation of the welding also changes. Easy. And 'the housing 3 is like As shown in Fig. 3 and Fig. 4, the movable contact 51 is disposed such that the lower end of the outer periphery abuts against the peripheral contact portion 13a of the peripheral fixed contact 13. The movable contact 14 is made of a conductive material such as metal and is formed as The semi-circular cover has an elastic shape. A substantially circular insulating film 30 having a flexible adhesive is applied to the upper portion of the movable contact 14. The insulating film 3 is also fixed to the center of the movable contact 14. On the apex portion 14a, the semicircular cover movable contact 14 is held at a specific position inside the casing 3, and dust, flux, and the like are prevented from intruding into the switch contact portion. Further, the button 2 is disposed on the upper portion of the insulating film 30, and the movable contact 14 is pressed by the operation of the button 2 via the insulating film 3?. Further, in the present embodiment, the shape of the movable contact 14 is circular, but is not particularly limited thereto. For example, other shapes such as an octagonal shape and a square shape may be used. Next, the second embodiment will be described.

The push button switch 本 in the present embodiment is the same as the third embodiment, and the housing 3 that houses the button 2 and the contact portion 10 and the terminal that is electrically connected to the contact portion 1 and are led out from the side surface 4 of the housing 3 are the same. The shape of the terminal portion 15a is such that the shape of the terminal reinforcing portion 17 which increases the welding strength of the front terminal portion 15a to the substrate 5A is different from that of the first embodiment. As shown in Fig. 9, in the present embodiment, the front terminal portion 15a of the pair of terminal portions 15, 15 before and after the front side 4 of the casing 3 is led out to form a terminal reinforcing portion 106821.doc - 14 - 1291187 17 at the front end thereof. The terminal reinforcing portion 17 is formed by bending the front end corner portion 2 of the front terminal portion 15a upward. In other words, the front end corner portion 2 of the front terminal portion 15a is bent upward, and the welding surface 16 is exposed to the button 2 side.

The direction in which the direction is inclined is bent upward by the front end of the front terminal portion 15a along the folding line i8, and the terminal reinforcing portion 17 is formed as shown in Fig. 1(b). Further, as shown in Fig. 11, The bending angle 0 of the terminal reinforcing portion 17 is an angle smaller than 9 。. By making the bending angle 0 an angle smaller than 9 〇, the space portion 19 can be formed between the terminal reinforcing portion 17 and the substrate 50. As shown in Fig. 12, by filling the space portion 19 with the solder 4, the soldering strength of the terminal reinforcing portion 17 to the substrate 5A can be sufficiently ensured. The folding curve 18 is formed in a direction inclined from the direction in which the casing 3 is led out. In the terminal reinforcing portion 17, the welding surface 16 of the terminal reinforcing portion 17 has a shape facing the button side, and the direction in which the button side terminal portion 15 is led out from the casing 3 and the direction orthogonal thereto. Therefore, by the front terminal portion 15a Terminal reinforcement Η soldered on substrate 50 'can be for two The welding is performed in the direction of the front terminal portion 15a from the direction in which the casing 3 is led out and the direction orthogonal thereto, that is, by forming the terminal reinforcing portion 在 on the front terminal portion 15a, it is possible to improve 106821.doc - 15- 1291187 The welding strength of the front terminal portion 15a from the direction in which the casing 3 is led out and the direction in the front-rear direction of the casing 3 orthogonal thereto can improve the mounting strength of the front terminal portion 15a to the substrate 50. Therefore, even the terminal portion In the case where the size of the crucible 5 itself is reduced, it is possible to sufficiently ensure the welding strength of the front terminal portion 15 a for the substrate 50 by the operation load generated by the operation of the button 2, and it is possible to reduce the size of the entire switch 1 . Fig. 13 is a plan view of the push button switch 1 in the present embodiment. The push button switch 本 in the present embodiment is the same as the second embodiment, and the housing 3 and the contact portion of the housing button 2 and the contact portion 1 are The terminal portion 15 that is electrically connected to the outside and is led out from the side surface 4 of the casing 3 is configured to have a shape different from that of the second embodiment. The shape of the terminal reinforcing portion 17 formed on the front terminal portion 15a is different from that of the second embodiment. Before the present embodiment The terminal portion 15a is formed with a terminal reinforcing portion 17 that extends upward from the side portion 21 on the side of the button 2. That is, a part of the welding surface 16 of the front terminal portion 15a is in a state in which the button 2 is exposed. Fig. 14 is a view showing formation of a terminal reinforcement. FIG. 14 is a plan view showing a state before the terminal reinforcing portion 17 is formed, and FIG. 14(b) is a plan view showing the terminal reinforcing portion opening. The front terminal portion 15a has a side portion 21 on the button 2 side. The side plate 22 is formed by bending the side plate 22 and the side reinforcing portion 17 by bending the side portion 21 as a folding line 18. That is, the folding curve 18 is parallel to the front terminal portion 15 & Further, by setting the bending angle of the terminal reinforcing portion 17 to an angle smaller than 90 degrees, the same effect as in the second embodiment can be obtained. The terminal reinforcing portion 17 is formed by setting the folding curve 18 in a direction parallel to the direction in which the casing 3 is led out, and the welding surface of the terminal reinforcing portion 17 is 106821.doc -16 - 1291187 which is oriented toward the button 2 side. Therefore, if the front terminal portion 15a is soldered to the substrate 50, the soldering strength of the front terminal portion 15a to the substrate 5A can be improved by soldering the terminal reinforcing portion 17 in the operation direction of the second object. In other words, even if the terminal portion 15 itself is miniaturized, it is possible to ensure the miniaturization of the entire switch 1 by ensuring that the welding strength of the front terminal portion i5a to the substrate 5A by the operation load generated by the operation of the sister 2 is greatly increased. Next, a fourth embodiment will be described. Fig. 15 is an enlarged plan view showing the terminal portion 15 of the push button switch 1 in the present embodiment. The push button switch j in this embodiment is the same as the second or third embodiment, and is housed by the housing 3 accommodating the reference 2 and the contact portion 1 and is electrically connected to the contact portion 10 and outward from the side 4 of the housing 3. The terminal-derived terminal W 15 is configured, and the configuration of the terminal reinforcing portion 丨7 formed on the 剞 terminal portion 15a is different from that of the second or third embodiment. As shown in Fig. 15, in the present embodiment, the terminal reinforcing portion 17 is formed at the front end portion of the front terminal portion 15a. The terminal reinforcing portion 17 has a slit shape in a substantially central portion of the front end of the front terminal portion Ua. Thereby, the end face of the welded face 16 can be enlarged, and the mounting strength to the end face direction can be increased. Since the shape of the end surface of the terminal reinforcing portion 17 is the direction of the operation of the button 2 and the outer shape of the casing 3, by welding the terminal reinforcing portion 17 to the substrate 5, two welding strengths can be lifted for each direction. . In other words, even if the terminal portion 自身5 itself is downsized, it is possible to ensure the welding strength of the front terminal portion 15a to the substrate 5A by the operation load generated by the operation of the button 2, and it is possible to reduce the size of the entire opening. In the present embodiment, the shape of the slit of the terminal reinforcing portion 17 is substantially semicircular, but a plurality of shapes such as a triangle or a polygonal material may be formed. Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the application of the present invention is not limited to the embodiment, and it is of course applicable to various forms within the scope of the technical idea. In the present embodiment, the shape of the casing 3 is substantially square. However, the shape of the casing 3 is not limited to this embodiment, and the shape of each of the contact portions 10 can be accommodated, and the bottom portion is substantially circular.
