Abstract:
An electronic component involving a 3-terminal type piezo-electric device, comprising:a device part having a piezo-electric device formed with electrodes on opposite sides thereof that overlap each other at a middle portion thereof, and having a capacitor with two electrodes on both ends of one face thereof and another electrode at a center of another face thereof;a terminal part having a pair of first terminals, each first terminal including a terminal and a bent portion projecting from a side portion of said terminal, said bent portion having a rounded V-shape in top plan view, opposite ends of said piezo-electric device being respectively received within the rounded V-shape of each said bent portion in respective electrical contact with said electrodes of said piezo-electric device, an outer surface of each said terminal being in respective electrical contact with an electrode of said capacitor, and having a second terminal for being electrically connected to an electrode of another face of said capacitor;a lead part having first and second leads extending downward from lower ends of an associated terminal, a terminal connecting portion located between an associated terminal and first lead to connect the same together and a frame for integrally connecting lower ends of said first and second leads; anda supporting part having a pair of first supports respectively disposed to define a bottom within the rounded V-shape of each terminal which supports a respective opposite end of said piezo-electric device, each first support being integrally formed to extend from said connecting portion and a second support extending outward from a respective said terminal of said first terminals to support an opposite end of the capacitor.
