Piezoelectric oscillator
A compact quartz oscillator includes a quartz vibrator that is integrally mounted on a circuit substrate. In the quartz oscillator, flux residue can be easily washed away. A cavity is defined in the approximate center of the circuit substrate. Within the cavity, circuit components defining an oscillation circuit, a temperature-compensating circuit, and other such circuits are surface-mounted preferably via reflow soldering. Connection electrodes are disposed at the four corners of walls surrounding the cavity. The connection electrodes are bonded to electrodes of the quartz vibrator mounted on the circuit substrate preferably via reflow soldering. Recesses are provided in the top surfaces of the walls. With the recesses, clearances are created between the circuit substrate and the quartz vibrator. As a result, in order to wash away flux residue.
