Abstract

A swing type input apparatus includes a housing, an operation knob rotatably supported by the housing, and a detecting unit detecting an angle of rotation of the knob. The detecting unit includes a circuit substrate intersecting the rotation center line of the knob, a magnetic sensor on an extension of the circuit substrate, a magnet holder driven by and rotated with the knob, a magnet held by the magnet holder such that the magnet intersects the rotation center line and is close to and faces the magnetic sensor, and a magnetic shield case which covers the magnet and the magnetic sensor and is a boxy assembly of first and second shield cases. The boundary between the first and second shield cases is positioned so as not to overlap the magnet. A bent grounding tab in the second shield case is electrically connected to a grounding conductor of a sub substrate.
