A configuration of a push switch minimizes the extent to which the switch protrudes from a wiring board, and thereby allows for a device including the switch to have smaller dimensions. Minimizing the height by which the switch protrudes above the wiring board also minimizes the moment caused by the pressing the switch which is transferred to terminals soldered to the wiring board, and thus improves the mechanical strength of the attachment to the wiring board. The configuration includes, in part, a case having a terminal protruding therefrom, wherein a lower surface position of the terminal where soldering is performed is located above a bottom surface of the case.
