A push switch of an outside handle of a door having a button installed inside a grip cover, wherein the button is attached to the inner surface of the grip cover through a support extending from a side of the button, and a tact switch pressed when the button is pushed.

An example portable electronic device includes a front glass cover; a rear cover; a bezel surrounding a space defined by the front cover and the rear cover, the bezel including a portion including an opening; a display device built in the space; and a plate including a plane parallel to the front cover within the space. The example electronic device includes a key movably inserted in the opening; a support structure mounted on the plate or a portion of the bezel and including a hole through which the key passes; a dome button mounted on the support structure and arranged to face the first surface of the key and the hole so that the key can be pressed; and a waterproof structure including a flexible material.

A switch that more reliably prevents solvent permeation from the outside, and a manufacturing method thereof are provided. The switch includes a first molded resin molded integrally with a plurality of fixed contacts by insert molding, a movable member disposed above the first molded resin to bring the plurality of fixed contacts into and out of contact with each other, and a second molded resin molded so as to close a through hole of the first molded resin formed by a pin supporting the plurality of fixed contacts at a time of the insert molding.

A push type switch includes a mounting base, a depressing module, a base board including at least a contact portion, a lighting module, a terminal group, and at least a conductive element. The depressing module includes a cap and a connecting peg movably connected to the mounting base. The cap has a light-permeable side portion spaced apart from the mounting base to form an interval. The lighting module includes a flat flexible cable and a plurality of lighting elements located at the interval. When the depressing module is being pushed to depress and deform the at least a conductive element to enable the conductive element to electrically contact the contact portion, the terminal group transmits electrical signals to allow the plurality of lighting elements to light with multiple lighting modes.

A waterproof switch device and a waterproof switch module for a vehicle trunk door employing the same are disclosed. Without using a PCB, terminal leads and a pair of switch terminal parts providing switch terminals are integrated with the switch bracket by injection molding. A push button unit is capable of switching the exposed switch terminals and is also sealingly coupled to the top side of the switch bracket so that the space containing the switch terminals and the switch contacts is waterproof. The lead portions of the switch terminals and the switch cables are connected in the terminal receiving space of the switch bracket, and the waterproofing part fills the terminal receiving space so that they are completely embedded so as to be waterproof. The waterproof switch module for a vehicle trunk door adopts the waterproof switch device and is composed of a double waterproof structure by applying an additional waterproof structure.

A waterproof button assembly. The waterproof button assembly may include a housing including an opening and a button. The button may be positioned at least partially within the housing via the opening. The assembly may also include a plurality of engagement components positioned on opposite-distal ends of the button. The plurality of engagement components may be configured to retain the button within the housing. The engagement components may extend distally from the button, such that a portion of the engagement components may be positioned within apertures formed in the sidewall of the housing. The assembly may also include a plurality of supports, a tactile dome in contact with the button and at least one of the plurality of supports. A sensing component of the assembly may be positioned adjacent the housing and in alignment with the button and/or tactile dome for sensing actuation of the button within the assembly.
