Abstract:
1. A piezoelectric transducer module comprising: first and second transducer units, each of which includes a conductive substrate portion that extends in a first direction and that has first and second surfaces opposite to each other in a second direction transverse to the first direction, at least one of said first and second surfaces having a piezoelectrically active coating coated thereon, said first and second transducer units being spaced apart from each other in the second direction; a connecting unit extending in the second direction and having opposite ends connected to said substrate portions of said first and second transducer units, respectively; and an insulating support member having a spacer portion disposed between said first and second transducer units, and a pair of securing portions, each of which secures a respective one of said first and second transducer units on said spacer portion; wherein said substrate portions of said first and second transducer units and said connecting unit are formed from a unitary conductive plate that is folded at junctions of said connecting unit and said substrate portions of said first and second transducer units.
