Abstract
A quartz crystal resonator includes a quartz crystal resonator element having a main surface including an X axis (electrical axis) and a Z' axis of an inclination rotated at an angle (y) equal to or greater than 36.4 degrees and equal to or smaller than, 40.5 degrees from a Z axis (optical axis) around the X axis, a main vibrating portion vibrating at a predetermined resonance frequency (f) and a supporting portion integrally formed with the main vibrating portion in such a manner as to be formed peripherally to surround the main vibrating portion, and two covers having a thermal expansion coefficient equal to or greater than 6×10per degrees centigrade and equal to or smaller than 10×10per degrees centigrade and bonded to the supporting portion so as to sandwich the quartz crystal resonator element therebetween.
