Abstract
A constant-temperature type crystal oscillator includes: a crystal unit including a case main body, in which two crystal terminals and two dummy terminals are provided on an outer bottom face thereof, and a crystal element housed in the case main body; an oscillator output circuit including an oscillating stage and a buffering stage; a temperature control circuit for keeping an operational temperature of the crystal unit; and a circuit substrate, on which circuit elements of the crystal unit, the oscillator output circuit and the temperature control circuit are installed. The temperature control circuit includes: heating chip resistors; a power transistor; and a temperature sensing element. Each of the dummy terminals is connected to a respective one of circuit terminals on the circuit substrate. At least one of the circuit terminals is connected to an electrically-conducting path, to which one terminal of the heating chip resistors is electrically connected, on the circuit substrate.
