Provided are a rotary operating element which is rotated about an axis of a rotation shaft with an operator's finger when operating or stopping vehicle-mounted equipment mounted on a vehicle, a rotary encoder which detects displacement of rotation of the rotary operating element about the axis; and a housing which accommodates the rotary operating element and the rotary encoder and holds the rotary operating element so as to be relatively rotatable about the axis. The rotary operating element has an accommodating chamber in which the rotary encoder is accommodated.

A rotary electronic component includes a base member, a shaft attached to the base member so as to be rotatable around an axis, and a regulating member that regulates a rotation angle of the shaft. The shaft includes a flange section including a projecting sections and recessed sections alternately disposed in a circumferential direction. The regulating member includes a contact member in contact with the projecting sections and the recessed sections of the flange section of the shaft, and a biasing member that biases the contact member radially inwardly toward the shaft.

An input device, including: a base, an upper cover, a lever assembly, a reset assembly, an electrical assembly, a spring switch, and a terminal assembly. The upper cover is disposed on the base and includes a central cavity. The lever assembly is disposed in the central cavity formed by the upper cover and the base, and includes a lever, an upper shoulder, and a lower shoulder. The lever includes an upper end and a lower end. The reset assembly is disposed below the lever assembly. The electrical assembly is electrically connected to the lever assembly, and includes a first slider, a second slider, a first carbon-film conductive dome, a first carbon-film resistor, a second carbon-film conductive dome, a second carbon-film resistor, and a trigger. The spring switch is disposed in the base and positioned below the trigger.

Provided is a relay switch device including a relay housing, a first upper fixing terminal and a second upper fixing terminal arranged side by side over an inside and an outside of the relay housing, a first lower fixing terminal electrically connected to the first upper fixing terminal and arranged under the first upper fixing terminal to be apart a predetermined distance from the first upper fixing terminal, and a second lower fixing terminal electrically connected to the second upper fixing terminal and arranged under the second upper fixing terminal to be apart a predetermined distance from the second upper fixing terminal, and a circuit mode switch module provided to selectively contact the first and second upper fixing terminals or the first and second lower fixing terminals by moving a predetermined distance.

A keyboard with at least some double action keys is described. The keyboard includes at least two layers disposed below the keys and the keys are selectively used to make contacts on one layer, or pass through and provide contacts with or on the second layer. All or at least some of the keys of the keyboard can be pushed partially down to generate a first command and can be pushed fully down for generating a second command.

Provided is a relay switch device including: a relay housing; a first upper fixing terminal and a second upper fixing terminal arranged side by side over an inside and an outside of the relay housing; a first lower fixing terminal electrically connected to the first upper fixing terminal and arranged under the first upper fixing terminal to be apart a predetermined distance from the first upper fixing terminal, and a second lower fixing terminal electrically connected to the second upper fixing terminal and arranged under the second upper fixing terminal to be apart a predetermined distance from the second upper fixing terminal; and a circuit mode switch module provided to selectively contact the first and second upper fixing terminals or the first and second lower fixing terminals by moving a predetermined distance.
