Piezoelectric acoustic component

Abstract

A piezoelectric acoustic component includes a diaphragm having a substantially rectangular piezoelectric plate including front and back surfaces, an electrode disposed on the front surface, a substantially rectangular metal plate bonded to the back surface of the substantially rectangular piezoelectric plate directly or via an electrode disposed on the back surface of the substantially rectangular piezoelectric plate, an insulating cap having an upper wall, four side walls extending from the upper, a pair of support members arranged to support the diaphragm at the inside of the two of four sides walls opposed to each other, and a plate shaped substrate having a first electrode section and a second electrode section. The diaphragm is disposed the insulating cap. Two of four side edges of the diaphragm are opposed to each other and fixed to the pair of support members. A gap is formed between the other two of four side edges of the diaphragm and the cap and is sealed by elastic sealing material. An acoustic space is provided between the diaphragm and the upper wall of the insulating cap. An opening edge of the four side walls of the insulating cap is bonded to the substrate. The metal plate is electrically connected to the first electrode section. The electrode disposed on the front surface of the substantially rectangular piezoelectric plate is electrically connected to the second electrode section.
