A cord switch, comprising: a hollow flexible cord member; contact lines which are disposed in parallel to each other on one of the inner portions of the two portions of the cord member generally opposed to each other and which are spaced apart from each other in the transverse direction of the cord member; a bridge conductor which is disposed on the other of the two inner portions so as to be generally opposed to the contact lines and being apart from the contact lines, the bridge conductor being brought into contact with the contact lines so as to energize the cord member when the cord member is pressed, wherein a neutral axis of the cord switch is positioned on the side of the one of the two inner portions with respect to the central point of the distance between the two wall portions. As a result, even if the cord switch is mounted at the corner portion of a window frame of a vehicle which is bent, the contact between the contact lines and the bridge conductor can be prevented.
