Abstract
The diaphragm is supported by the frame at the outer edge thereof. The pair of terminal members is mounted on the frame, and a pair of lead wire drawn from the voice coil is fixed to the land portion of the terminal member for electrical continuity. Since the land portion is disposed on the upper side of the frame, fixation of the lead wire can be performed without turning the frame upside down. This simplifies the manufacturing process of the speaker and also prevents a breakage of the lead wire that conventionally happens when the frame is turned upside down. Further, this prevents the operator from touching the lead wire since no part of the lead wire is exposed outside the frame after the fixation.
