Abstract
A piezoelectric electroacoustic transducer includes a piezoelectric diaphragm having a substantially rectangular shape which vibrates in the thickness direction when an alternating current is applied between electrodes of the piezoelectric diaphragm, a housing which stores the piezoelectric diaphragm, and a pair of terminals formed in the housing by insert molding. One end of each terminal is inserted inside the housing and includes a body portion fixed to the housing and wing portions which extend from both sides of the body portion toward the corners of the housing. The wing portions are not fixed to the housing, and stress-relieving portions are disposed between the body portion and the wing portions so that the wing portions are able to move toward the inside of the housing. Each electrode of the piezoelectric diaphragm is connected to at least one of the wing portions of the terminals by a conductive adhesive.
