Abstract
A piezoelectric vibration element comprises a vibration element part a vibration propagation part made of a same material with a greater thickness than the vibration element part a groove disposed in the boundary of the vibration element part and vibration propagation part excitation electrodes confronting the face side and back side of the vibration element part a connection electrode disposed in the vibration propagation part and an external lead-out electrode connected electrically to the connection electrode In this piezoelectric vibration element, the main vibration is the overtone mode, that is, when the lowest order wave mode is first-order or second-order, the wavelength in the thickness direction is (2n+1) times (n being a natural number) thereof.
