Abstract
An angular velocity sensorincludes support membersAABandB, bonded to two nodal points of a pillar-shaped oscillator, generated on oscillations of the oscillator, in a manner of sandwiching the nodal points from upper and lower sides of the oscillator. The support members simultaneously serve for mechanically supporting and providing for electrical connection of the oscillator. Upper support membersAAand lower support membersBandBfor the nodal points include bent parts, the bent parts being bent in the same direction with respect to the longitudinal direction of the oscillator. The upper support members and lower support members also include armsextending at right angles to the up-and-down direction and to the longitudinal direction of the oscillator and connecting portionfor the arms and the oscillator.
