To provide a latch with a switch, which can be inexpensively manufactured by enabling the inexpensive manufacture of a movable terminal.
In this latch L, a movable member 41, which is urged by a coiled spring 61 to a protruding position to partially protrude from a housing 11, is pushed into the housing 11, so that a locking mechanism can be brought into a locked state, so that the movable member 41 can be locked in a pushed-in position, and so that the switch can be turned off; and the movable member 41 in the pushed-in position is pushed into the housing 11, so that the locking mechanism can be brought into an unlocked state, so that the movable member 41 can return to the protruding position, and so that the switch can be turned on. The switch comprises: a pin 81 which is attached to the movable member 41 and both the ends of which are protruded from two opposed side surfaces of the movable member 41; and a pair of fixed terminals 31 which are fixed into the housing 11, which are brought into a conducting state by being brought into contact with both the ends of the pin 81 when the movable member 41 is in the protruding position, and which are brought into a nonconducting state by being brought into noncontact with both the ends of the pin 81 when the movable member 41 is in the pushed-in position.
