Abstract:
A method of producing a piezoelectric component including a substrate having at least one electrode disposed thereon, a piezoelectric element having first and second electrodes each disposed on one of upper and lower surfaces thereof, the piezoelectric element being mounted on said substrate, and a cap connected to said substrate so as to cover and seal said piezoelectric element, said method comprising the steps of:fixing said piezoelectric element on said substrate such that the first electrode of said piezoelectric element disposed on the lower surface of said piezoelectric element is connected to said at least one electrode of said substrate;fixing a conductive wire to said second electrode of said piezoelectric element, said second electrode being disposed on the upper surface of said piezoelectric element;arranging the conductive wire to have a loop configuration with both ends of the wire loop being connected to said second electrode and a curved portion of said wire loop located between both ends of said wire loop being disposed in contact with said cap;applying a conductive adhesive to a portion of an inner surface of said cap so that the conductive adhesive is located to contact said conductive wire;applying a sealing adhesive to an opening of said cap;placing said cap on said substrate such that said conductive wire contacts the inner surface of said cap to cause a portion of said conductive wire to contact with said conductive adhesive; andcuring said sealing resin and said conductive adhesive.
