Abstract:
1. A crystal oscillator device comprising: a crystal resonator having a resonator package, the resonator package including a resonating member and a retaining member supporting the resonating member in the resonator package; a circuit board having an oscillator circuit; at least one supporting member arranged between the resonator package and the circuit board to support the resonator package above the circuit board such that the resonator package is spaced away from the circuit board, wherein at least one portion of at least one side of the resonator package is not supported by the at least one supporting member; and a vibrational energy absorbing member made of a vibrational energy absorbing material arranged between the resonator package and the circuit board so as to absorb vibrational energy of the resonator package; wherein the vibrational energy absorbing member provides no electrical connection between the resonating member and the oscillating circuit.
