Abstract

A thin and highly stable piezoelectric oscillator is provided with a piezoelectric vibrator, a mother printed board which supports a piezoelectric vibrator main body on its one face and connects lead terminals to a wiring pattern, oscillating circuit parts which are mounted on one face of the mother printed board to be disposed in close contact with one face of the piezoelectric vibrator main body, adjusting circuit parts which are mounted on the other face of the mother printed board, an internal printed board which is provided in contact with the other face of the piezoelectric vibrator main body, and heater resistors which are mounted on the internal printed board to be disposed in close contact with the other face of the piezoelectric vibrator main body. Thus, since such a configuration is employed that, while the oscillating circuit parts mounted on the mother printed board are brought in close contact with the one face of a metal case of the piezoelectric vibrator, the heater resistors mounted on the flexible printed board are brought in close contact with the other face of the metal case for the piezoelectric vibrator, not only the heater resistors heat the piezoelectric vibrator but also it indirectly heats the oscillating circuit parts efficiently.

Claims (14)

1. A thin and highly stable piezoelectric oscillator comprising:

a piezoelectric vibrator provided with a piezoelectric vibrator main body where a piezoelectric vibrating element is sealed in a metal case in an air-tight manner and lead terminals projecting from a bottom portion of the piezoelectric vibrator main body;

a mother printed board which supports the piezoelectric vibrator main body on one face and connects the lead terminals to a wiring pattern;

an oscillating circuit part which is mounted on one face of the mother printed board to be arranged so as to closely contact with the one face of the piezoelectric vibrator main body;

an adjusting circuit part which is mounted on the other face of the mother printed board;

an internal printed board which is provided in contact with the other face of the piezoelectric vibrator main body; and

a heater resistor which is mounted on the internal printed board to be arranged so as to closely contact with the other face of the piezoelectric vibrator main body.

2. The thin and highly stable piezoelectric oscillator according to claim 1 , wherein the internal printed board is a flexible printed board, and one end of the flexible printed board extends to the one face of the mother printed board.

3. The thin and highly stable piezoelectric oscillator according to any one of claim 1 or 2 , wherein the heater resistor is connected and fixed to a face of the internal printed board in advance.

4. The thin and highly stable piezoelectric oscillator according to any one of claim 1 or 2 , wherein a configuration in which a metal plate box is assembled to the mother printed board so as to enclose an outer face of the piezoelectric vibrator main body including a portion of the internal printed board is employed.

5. A surface mounting type thin and highly stable piezoelectric oscillator, wherein the thin and highly stable piezoelectric oscillator according to any one of claim 1 , 2 , 3 or 4 is mounted on a base printed board for surface mounting, and a space on the base printed board, including the thin and highly stable piezoelectric oscillator is enclosed in an oscillator case made of metal.

6. The surface mounting type thin and highly stable piezoelectric oscillator according to claim 5 , wherein electrical connection among the base printed board, the internal printed board and the mother printed board is secured with at least one conductive pin.

7. The thin and highly stable piezoelectric oscillator according to claim 3 , wherein a configuration in which a metal plate box is assembled to the mother printed board so as to enclose an outer face of the piezoelectric vibrator main body including a portion of the internal printed board is employed.

8. A surface mounting type thin and highly stable piezoelectric oscillator, wherein the thin and highly stable piezoelectric oscillator according to claim 7 is mounted on a base printed board for surface mounting, and a space on the base printed board, including the thin and highly stable piezoelectric oscillator is enclosed in an oscillator case made of metal.
