Abstract
A through hole is formed in an inner-side yoke making up a magnetic circuit portion, passing therethrough following a vibration direction of a vibration unit, and circuit boards are disposed in the through hole. The circuit boards are disposed with board surfaces thereof following the vibration direction of the vibration unit. Also, an opening area of a middle space across which the circuit boards oppose each other is larger than opening areas of side spaces. Accordingly, flow quantity of air through the through hole can be obtained, increase in air resistance at the time of vibration of the vibration unit can be suppressed, and also wind velocity can be obtained, whereby cooling effects of heat-generating components mounted on the circuit boards can be improved.
