A rotational push switch includes a bottom shell having a first and a second conductive terminals connected to a power supply, and a third conductive terminal connected to the conductive elastic piece. The conductive elastic piece is mounted in the bottom shell. A switch assembly is mounted on a top shell mounted on the bottom shell. The switch assembly is switched to connect or detach the conductive elastic piece and the second conductive terminal. A cap is mounted on the switch assembly. When the conductive elastic piece is connected to or departed from the second conductive terminal, ON/OFF symbols can be correspondingly seen in a display window of the cap, and a user can recognize an ON/OFF state of the rotational push switch.

An input apparatus for a vehicle includes: a housing mounted on the vehicle; a substrate disposed inside the housing; a push button device disposed in the housing to be pressed; a dial device arranged and configured to be rotated about the push button device, being non-peristaltic when the push button device is pressed, and maintained in a posture with respect to the housing, a first sensing device disposed on the substrate to sense pressing of the push button device; and a second sensing device disposed on the substrate to sense rotation of the dial device.

The snap action switch of the present disclosure may include a housing with a plurality of protruding blocks extending inwardly, a plunger disposed on the housing, a first elastic component coupled to the plunger for providing a force against the plunger, a cam located within the housing and being movable by the plunger, a rotor located within the housing and associated with the cam, and a second elastic component coupled to the rotor for providing a force against the rotor. When the cam moves to a first position, the rotor may rotate such that a lower surface of the cam engages with an upper surface of the rotor, and when the cam moves to a second position, the rotor may continue to rotate such that the upper surface of the rotor engages with a lower surface of at least one of the plurality of protruding blocks of the housing.
