Highly stable piezoelectric oscillator

Abstract

A highly stable piezoelectric oscillator includes a heat-generating component mounted on a base printed circuit board; an erected printed circuit board placed upright on the base printed circuit board by fitting a fitting end part in a fitting slit that is formed to penetrate the base printed circuit board; a piezoelectric resonator which is disposed horizontally and directly on the heat-generating component on the base printed circuit board and whose lead electrode part is connected and fixed on the erected printed circuit board; and an oscillation circuit component to obtain an oscillation output using the piezoelectric resonator as a frequency source. Further, connection pads are arranged opposite from each other on surfaces of the base printed circuit board along both opposing end edges of the fitting slit; arc-shaped side through holes are provided on the inner walls of the fitting slit that correspond to each of the connection pads; and lead pads are arranged so as to have positional relations to their respective connection pads on both surfaces of the fitting end part of the erected printed circuit board; and each connection pad having the side through hole is soldered to each lead pad of the fitting end part.
