To provide a non-contact combination switch that is easy in maintenance.
A first lever combination switch 1 is constituted by installing a photosensor 1C inside the tip of a lever 1B rotating around a rotating hole 1A as the center. The lever 1B rotates stepwise by being fitted into hole parts 62a to 62e of a stopper 62 via a spring 13b and a ball 13c by installation of a ball stopper 13a. In the photosensor 1C, an LED 10 is installed at one end of a cylindrical space while a photodiode 11 is installed at the other end, and a wavelength filter 12 is installed between the LED 10 and the photodiode 11. The LED 10 emits white light, while the photodiode 11 receives light emitted by the LED 10 and outputs electrical signals proportional to its strength. The wavelength filter 12 is composed of five filters 12a to 12e serving as band-pass filters that transmit the light having center wavelengths different from each other.
