Abstract
A microphone holder includes a casing made of soft synthetic resin and formed with a recess and a sound hole open to the recess and a connector unit having conductive elastic strips partially embedded in a solid insulating lid made of hard synthetic resin; a microphone is snugly received in the recess, and the recess is closed with the solid insulating lid in such a manner that the conductive elastic strips are held in contact at inner contact portions to electrodes of the microphone and at the outer contact portions to a circuit board; the conductive elastic strips are embedded in the solid insulating lid during a molding for the solid insulating lid so that the assembling work is speeded up.
Claims18
A microphone holder for holding a microphone, comprising:
- a casing having a recess for receiving said microphone and a sound hole for propagating a sound wave to a sound sensitive surface of said microphone;
- and
- a connector unit having an insulating lid and connecting members partially embedded in said insulating lid, and secured to said casing in such a manner that said recess is closed therewith,
- said connecting members having contact portions projecting from a surface of said insulating lid so as to be held in contact with electrodes of said microphone and other contact portions projecting from another surface of said insulating lid so as to be held in contact with conductive paths outside of said microphone holder.
