1. A variable resistor, comprising:
a first substrate having a first main surface;
a resistor disposed on the first main surface;
a first wiring pattern disposed on the first main surface and connected to the resistor;
a spacer having an opening;
a second substrate that:
has second and third main surfaces, and
is disposed on the first substrate via the spacer such that the second main surface is opposed to the first main surface;
a connecting body that is:
disposed on the second main surface such that the connecting body is disposed in the opening, and
configured to electrically connect to the resistor by pushing of a pusher from the third main surface; and
a second wiring pattern that is either:
disposed on the first main surface and configured to be electrically connected to the connecting body by the pushing of the pusher; or
disposed on the second main surface and connected to the connecting body, wherein
in a plan view, the connecting body has a non-overlap region that does not overlap with the resistor,
in a plan view, a pushing region in which the pusher can push is included in the non-overlap region, and
a resistance value between the first wiring pattern and the second wiring pattern is changed based on a pushing position of the pusher,
in a plan view, the connecting body partially overlaps with the resistor,
in a plan view, the pushing region does not overlap with the resistor, and
the connecting body contacts the resistor by the pushing of the pusher from the third main surface.
