An ultrasonic transducer of this invention includes a rigid substrate with opening parts extending between bottom and top surfaces, a flexible resin film fixed to the top surface of the substrate to cover the opening parts, and piezoelectric elements fixed to a top surface of the resin film so as to overlap in a plan view with the opening parts, respectively. An arrangement pitch of the piezoelectric elements is preferably set to be equal to or less than 4.3 mm, and the piezoelectric element may have a rectangular shape in the plan view having longitudinal and lateral dimensions in the plan view with a maximum value of 4.0 mm or less, a circular shape in the plan view having a diameter of 4.0 mm or less, or an elliptical shape in the plan view having a major axis of 4.0 mm or less.
