PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable implementation of both of miniaturization of a housing and enhancement of arc resistance in a switch module, a switch and a switch device.SOLUTION: A switch module 1 has a housing 11, a push-button handle 12, a fixed contact point 14 and a movable contact point 15. Press force acts on an operation face 121 of the push-button handle 12 in a first direction. The movable contact point 15 moves between a position to contact with the fixed contact point 14 and a position to separate from the fixed contact point 14 every time the press force acts on the operation face 121 of the push-button handle 12. The housing 11 includes a body 61 and a cover 62. The body 61 is provided at a part of the peripheral edge of an opening of the body 61 with a projection portion 65 projecting along the first direction so as to cover the fixed contact point 14 and the movable contact point 15 when viewed from a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. 【課題】ハウジングを小型にすることと耐アーク性を向上させることの両方を実現させる。【解決手段】スイッチモジュール１は、ハウジング１１と、押釦ハンドル１２と、固定接点１４と、可動接点１５とを備える。押釦ハンドル１２は、第１の方向において操作面１２１に押力が作用する。可動接点１５は、押釦ハンドル１２の操作面１２１に押力が作用するごとに、固定接点１４に接触する位置と固定接点１４から離れる位置との間で移動する。ハウジング１１は、ボディ６１と、カバー６２とを含む。ボディ６１には、開口の周縁の一部に、第１の方向に直交する第２の方向から見て固定接点１４および可動接点１５を覆うように第１の方向に沿って突出する突出部６５が設けられている。【選択図】図１
