Conventionally, a dedicated piezoelectric vibration device base has been used for each piezoelectric vibration device. In the case of the above-mentioned H-shaped structure piezoelectric vibrating device base, different piezoelectric vibrating device bases were used for the piezoelectric oscillator and the piezoelectric vibrator with functional components. Therefore, if the piezoelectric oscillator and the piezoelectric vibrator with functional components can share the H-shaped piezoelectric vibrating device base, manufacturing costs can be reduced. However, in this case, there is a concern that the internal wiring etc. will become complicated and the number of manufacturing steps will increase.

The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned circumstances, and has an H-shaped structure that can be used commonly for a piezoelectric oscillator and a piezoelectric vibrator with functional components without complicating internal wiring etc. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a base for a piezoelectric vibration device.

The present invention constitutes means for solving the above-mentioned problems as follows. That is, the present invention provides a base for a piezoelectric vibrating device that is shared by a piezoelectric oscillator and a piezoelectric vibrator with a functional component, the base having a first recess that is open on the upper side of the base, and a base on the lower side of the base. the first recess and the second recess are formed into a substantially rectangular shape in plan view, and the first recess has a piezoelectric vibrating piece for a piezoelectric oscillator or a functional component. The piezoelectric vibrating pieces for the piezoelectric vibrator with the attached piezoelectric vibrator can be accommodated in different mounting directions, and the IC for the piezoelectric oscillator can be accommodated in the second recess along the second recess. On the other hand, a functional component for a piezoelectric vibrator with a functional component can be accommodated along the diagonal direction of the second recess.
The present invention also provides a base for a piezoelectric vibrating device that is shared by a piezoelectric oscillator and a piezoelectric vibrator with a functional component, the base having a first recess opened on the upper side of the base, and a base on the lower side of the base. the first recess and the second recess are formed into a substantially rectangular shape in plan view, and the first recess has a piezoelectric vibrating piece for a piezoelectric oscillator or a functional component. The piezoelectric vibrating pieces for the piezoelectric vibrator with the attached piezoelectric vibrator can be accommodated in different mounting directions, and the IC for the piezoelectric oscillator can be accommodated in the second recess along the second recess. On the other hand, a functional component for a piezoelectric vibrator with a functional component can be accommodated along the diagonal direction of the second recess, and a functional component for a piezoelectric vibrator with a functional component can be accommodated on the bottom surface of the second recess. A pair of third internal terminals on which components are mounted, and four fourth internal terminals on which functional components for a piezoelectric vibrator with functional components are not mounted are provided, and the third internal terminals and the fourth internal terminals are It is characterized in that it can also be used as a terminal on which an IC for a piezoelectric oscillator is mounted.

According to the above configuration, by devising the housing state of each element in the first recess and the second recess, which are formed into a substantially rectangular shape in plan view, the piezoelectric oscillator and the functional component It can be easily shared with a piezoelectric vibrator. Specifically, the first recess accommodates a piezoelectric vibrating piece for a piezoelectric oscillator or a piezoelectric vibrator with a functional component in different mounting directions, and the second recess accommodates a piezoelectric vibrating piece for a piezoelectric oscillator or a piezoelectric vibrator with functional components in different mounting directions. By accommodating functional parts for ICs or piezoelectric vibrators with functional parts in different mounting directions, the base for piezoelectric vibrating devices with an H-shaped structure can be used as a piezoelectric vibrator without complicating internal wiring, etc. It can be easily used in common with an oscillator and a piezoelectric vibrator with functional components. Further, by accommodating the functional component along the diagonal direction of the second recess, a larger-sized functional component can be used.

In the above configuration, the bottom surface of the first recess includes a pair of first internal terminals on which a piezoelectric vibrating piece for a piezoelectric oscillator is mounted, and a pair of first internal terminals on which a piezoelectric vibrating piece for a piezoelectric vibrator with a functional component is mounted. Preferably, two internal terminals are provided, and the pair of first internal terminals and the pair of second internal terminals are provided in four corner regions of the bottom surface of the first recess. According to this configuration, while effectively utilizing the area on the bottom surface of the first recess as a space for arranging each internal terminal, the remaining area other than the above area on the bottom surface of the first recess is used for arranging wiring patterns, through holes, etc. It can be used as a space.

In the above configuration, it is preferable that the pair of first internal terminals is different from the pair of second internal terminals in at least one of size and shape. According to this configuration, the first internal terminal and the second internal terminal can be easily distinguished from each other in appearance, so it is possible to determine whether the mounted piezoelectric vibrating piece is for a piezoelectric oscillator or a piezoelectric vibrator with a functional component. It is possible to distinguish between these and install them without fail. In other words, it is possible to mount a piezoelectric vibrating piece for a piezoelectric oscillator on a pair of first internal terminals, and a piezoelectric vibrating piece for a piezoelectric vibrator with a functional component on a pair of second internal terminals. Misloading can be prevented.

In the above configuration , two of the pair of third internal terminals and the fourth internal terminal are provided in four corner regions of the bottom surface of the second recess, and the remaining two of the fourth internal terminals are It is preferable that the second recess is provided in two opposing regions other than the four corners of the bottom surface of the second recess.

In the above configuration, it is preferable that the functional component for the functional component-equipped piezoelectric vibrator can be placed over the fourth internal terminal adjacent to the third internal terminal. According to this configuration, in the case of a piezoelectric vibrator with a functional component, since the fourth internal terminal adjacent to the third internal terminal is not connected to the piezoelectric vibrating piece, the functional component is also arranged in this fourth internal terminal. By doing so, it is possible to increase the mounting area (bonding area) of the functional component using, for example, a conductive bonding material such as solder, and it is possible to mount the functional component more reliably.

In the above configuration, it is preferable that the pair of third internal terminals be larger than the fourth internal terminal. According to this configuration, it is possible to secure a larger mounting area (bonding area) for functional components using conductive bonding material such as solder, and it is possible to more easily mount functional components on the pair of third internal terminals. It can be done reliably.

In the above configuration, the bottom surface of the outer wall surrounding the second recess includes a pair of first external terminals connected to a piezoelectric vibrating piece for a piezoelectric vibrator with a functional component, and a functional component for a piezoelectric vibrator with a functional component. a pair of second external terminals connected to the terminal, one of the pair of first external terminals and the pair of second external terminals is a terminal for ground connection, and from the terminal A ground wiring is provided that extends toward the top surface of an outer wall surrounding the recess, and the ground wiring surrounds the inside of the outer wall surrounding the second recess, the inside of the base, and the first recess. Preferably, it is provided throughout the interior of the outer wall. According to this configuration, since the ground wiring is provided inside the outer wall surrounding the first recess and the second recess, the conductive bonding material, such as solder, used for mounting the functional components can get wet and spread. However, short circuits between the ground wiring and the first to third internal terminals can be reliably prevented.

According to the present invention, by devising the accommodation state of each element in the first recess and the second recess, which are formed into a substantially rectangular shape in plan view, a base for a piezoelectric vibrating device having an H-shaped structure can be used as a piezoelectric oscillator and a functional component. It can be easily shared with a piezoelectric vibrator. Further, by accommodating the functional component along the diagonal direction of the second recess, a larger-sized functional component can be used.

Next, a case where the base 10 is applied to a thermistor-equipped crystal resonator 200 will be described with reference to FIGS. 9 to 11. Note that in FIGS. 10 and 11, terminals, wiring patterns, etc. that contribute to electrical connection are shown in solid lines, and terminals, wiring patterns, etc. that do not contribute to electrical connection are shown in broken lines.

As shown in FIGS. 9 to 11, in the thermistor-equipped crystal resonator 200, a crystal vibrating piece 210 is accommodated in the first recess 14 of the base 10, and a thermistor 230 as a functional component is accommodated in the second recess 15. . The thermistor 230 is housed in the substantially rectangular second recess 15 along the diagonal direction.

The crystal vibrating piece 210 is mounted on a pair of second internal terminals 22a and 22b via a conductive bonding material 220. The excitation electrodes of the crystal vibrating piece 210 are connected to a pair of first external terminals 25a, 25b via a pair of second internal terminals 22a, 22b. In the case of the thermistor-equipped crystal resonator 200 and the case of the above-described crystal oscillator 100, the mounting directions of the crystal vibrating pieces 110 and 210 are opposite to each other. That is, in the case of the crystal oscillator 100 described above, the crystal vibrating piece 110 is mounted on the pair of first internal terminals 21a and 21b provided on one end side of the bottom surface 14a of the base 10, whereas 200, the crystal vibrating piece 210 is mounted on a pair of second internal terminals 22a, 22b provided on the other end side of the bottom surface 14a of the base 10.

The thermistor 230 is mounted on a pair of third internal terminals 23a and 23b via a conductive bonding material 240. A pair of electrodes of the thermistor 230 are connected to a pair of second external terminals 26a, 26b via a pair of third internal terminals 23a, 23b. The pair of first external terminals 25a, 25b and the pair of second external terminals 26a, 26b are connected to a circuit board (not shown). In this case, the second external terminal 26b is used as a ground terminal and is electrically connected to the lid 300 via a conductor in the through hole 34 as a ground wiring.

In the thermistor-equipped crystal resonator 200, as shown by broken lines in FIGS. 10 and 11, the pair of first internal terminals 21a, 21b and the two fourth internal terminals 24c, 24d are terminals that do not contribute to electrical connection. It becomes. Moreover, the external wiring patterns formed on the internal wiring patterns 36a, 36b, 37e, and 37f and the castellations 31e and 31f do not contribute to electrical connection. On the other hand, other terminals, wiring patterns, etc. contribute to electrical connections in the thermistor-equipped crystal resonator 200.

According to this embodiment, the base 10 having an H-shaped structure can be efficiently shared by the crystal oscillator 100 and the thermistor-equipped crystal resonator 200 without complicating internal wiring or the like. Specifically, on the bottom surface 14a of the first recess 14, a pair of first internal terminals 21a, 21b on which the crystal resonator piece 110 for the crystal oscillator 100 is mounted, and a crystal resonator piece 210 for the thermistor-equipped crystal resonator 200 are installed. A pair of second internal terminals 22a and 22b to be mounted are provided. On the bottom surface 15a of the second recess 15, there are a pair of third internal terminals 23a and 23b on which the thermistor 230 for the thermistor-equipped crystal resonator 200 is mounted, and four third internal terminals 23a and 23b on which the thermistor 230 for the thermistor-equipped crystal resonator 200 is not mounted. Four internal terminals 24a to 24d are provided, and these third internal terminals 23a, 23b and fourth internal terminals 24a to 24d are also used as terminals on which an IC 130 for the crystal oscillator 100 is mounted. On the bottom surface 13a of the second outer wall 13 surrounding the second recess 15, a pair of first external terminals 25a and 25b connected to a crystal resonator piece 210 for the thermistor-equipped crystal resonator 200, and a thermistor-equipped crystal resonator 200 are provided. A pair of second external terminals 26a, 26b are provided to be connected to a thermistor 230 for the crystal oscillator 100, and a pair of first external terminals 25a, 25b and a pair of second external terminals 26a, 26b are It is also shared as a connecting terminal.

In this way, each terminal of the base 10 (in this case, the third internal terminals 23a, 23b, the first external terminals 25a, 25b, and the second external terminals 26a, 26b) is connected to the crystal oscillator 100 and the thermistor-equipped crystal resonator 200. By sharing the base 10 with the crystal oscillator 100 and the thermistor-equipped crystal resonator 200, the base 10 can be efficiently shared. In addition, by devising the accommodation state (mounting state) of each element in the first recess 14 and the second recess 15, which are formed into a substantially rectangular shape in plan view, the base 10 can be connected to the crystal oscillator 100 and the thermistor-equipped crystal resonator 200. It can be easily shared with other users. Specifically, the first recess 14 accommodates the crystal vibrating piece 110 for the crystal oscillator 100 or the crystal vibrating piece 210 for the thermistor-equipped crystal resonator 200 in different mounting directions, and By accommodating the IC 130 for the crystal oscillator 100 or the thermistor 230 for the thermistor-equipped crystal resonator 200 in different mounting directions in the recess 15, the base 10 can accommodate the crystal oscillator 100 and the thermistor-equipped crystal resonator 200. It can be easily shared with other users.

In this embodiment, since the pair of second internal terminals 22a, 22b are formed larger than the pair of first internal terminals 21a, 21b, the pair of first internal terminals 21a, 21b and the pair of second internal terminals Since the terminals 22a and 22b can be easily distinguished visually, it is possible to distinguish whether the piezoelectric vibrating piece to be mounted is for a piezoelectric oscillator or a piezoelectric vibrator with a functional component and to mount it without fail. I can do it. In other words, it is possible to mount a piezoelectric vibrating piece for a piezoelectric oscillator on a pair of first internal terminals 21a, 21b, and a piezoelectric vibrating piece for a piezoelectric vibrator with a functional component on a pair of second internal terminals 22a, 22b, respectively. This makes it possible to prevent the piezoelectric vibrating piece from being incorrectly mounted. For example, in the manufacturing process of a piezoelectric oscillator, by recognizing the difference in appearance between a pair of first internal terminals 21a, 21b and a pair of second internal terminals 22a, 22b, piezoelectric It is possible to prevent the vibrating piece from being installed incorrectly.

Further, in the present embodiment, the pair of first internal terminals 21a, 21b and the pair of second internal terminals 22a, 22b are provided in the four corner regions of the bottom surface 14a of the first recess 14, and the pair of third internal terminals Terminals 23a, 23b and two fourth internal terminals 24a, 24b are provided in the four corner areas of the bottom surface 15a of the second recess 15, and the remaining two fourth internal terminals 24c, 24d are provided in the four corner areas of the bottom surface 15a of the second recess 15. They are provided in two opposing areas other than the four corners of the bottom surface 15a. As a result, while effectively utilizing the areas of the bottom surface 14a of the first recess 14 and the bottom surface 15a of the second recess 15 as the arrangement space for each internal terminal, the bottom surface 14a of the first recess 14 and the bottom surface of the second recess 15 can be effectively utilized. The remaining area of 15a other than the above can be used as a space for arranging wiring patterns, through holes, and the like.

In this case, the pair of first internal terminals 21a, 21b are provided at one end side of the bottom surface 14a of the first recess 14, and the pair of second internal terminals 22a, 22b are provided at the other end of the bottom surface 14a of the first recess 14. A pair of third internal terminals 23a, 23b are provided at one diagonal position of the bottom surface 15a of the second recess 15, and two fourth internal terminals 24a, 24b are provided on the bottom surface 15a of the second recess 15. It is provided at the other diagonal position of the bottom surface 15a.

One second internal terminal 22b and one fourth internal terminal 24b provided at a diagonal position are connected via a conductor in a through hole 32 provided in the bottom portion 11. Further, the other second internal terminal 22a and the other fourth internal terminal 24a provided diagonally are connected to the internal wiring pattern 35 provided on the bottom surface 14a of the first recess 14 and the internal wiring pattern 35 provided on the bottom surface 11. It is connected via a conductor in the through hole 33. In this way, the pair of second internal terminals 22a, 22b provided on the other end side of the bottom surface 14a of the first recess 14 and the bottom surface 15a of the second recess 15 are connected by the through holes 32, 33 and the internal wiring pattern 35. The two fourth internal terminals 24a and 24b provided at diagonal positions can be efficiently connected.

As a result, the thermistor 230 for the thermistor-equipped crystal resonator 200 can be mounted on the pair of third internal terminals 23a and 23b provided at diagonal positions on the bottom surface 15a of the second recess 15. The thermistor 230 can be accommodated along the diagonal direction of the two recesses 15, and a larger size thermistor 230 can be used.

Further, since the pair of third internal terminals 23a and 23b are formed larger than the fourth internal terminals 24a to 24d, the mounting area (bonding area) of the thermistor 230 using the conductive bonding material 240 such as solder, for example, A larger area can be secured, and the thermistor 230 can be more reliably mounted on the pair of third internal terminals 23a, 23b.

Further, one of the pair of first external terminals 25a, 25b and the pair of second external terminals 26a, 26b (in this case, the second external terminal 26b) is used as a ground terminal for ground connection, and from the ground terminal , a ground wiring extending toward the upper surface 12a of the first outer wall portion 12 surrounding the first recess 14 is provided. The ground wiring is a conductor in the through hole 34 and is provided across the inside of the second outer wall portion 13, the inside of the bottom portion 11, and the inside of the first outer wall portion 12. As a result, the conductor in the through hole 34 as a ground wiring is provided inside the second outer wall portion 13, so that the conductive bonding material 240, such as solder, used for mounting the thermistor 230 gets wet and spreads. Even so, it is possible to reliably prevent a short circuit between the ground wiring and the pair of third internal terminals 23a and 23b. Similarly, since the conductor in the through hole 34 as the ground wiring is provided inside the first outer wall portion 12, even if the conductive bonding material 240, such as solder, gets wet and spreads, the conductor is not connected to the ground wiring. Short circuits between the pair of first internal terminals 21a, 21b and the pair of second internal terminals 22a, 22b can be reliably prevented.

The embodiments disclosed this time are illustrative in all respects, and are not the basis for restrictive interpretation. Therefore, the technical scope of the present invention should not be interpreted only by the above-described embodiments, but should be defined based on the claims. In addition, all changes within the meaning and scope of the claims are included.

In the above embodiment, among the four fourth internal terminals 24a to 24d on which the thermistor 230 for the thermistor-equipped crystal resonator 200 is not mounted (not connected), the third internal terminals 23a and 23b are located in the longitudinal direction of the second recess 15. The thermistor 230 may also be arranged at the fourth internal terminals 24c and 24d adjacent to each other. That is, the thermistor 230 may be mounted across the third internal terminal 23a and the fourth internal terminal 24d, and the thermistor 230 may be mounted across the third internal terminal 23b and the fourth internal terminal 24c. In the case of the thermistor-equipped crystal resonator 200, the fourth internal terminals 24c and 24d are not connected to the crystal resonator piece 210, so by disposing the thermistor 230 also on the fourth internal terminals 24c and 24d, it is possible to connect the fourth internal terminals 24c and 24d with solder, etc. The mounting area (bonding area) of the thermistor 230 using the conductive bonding material 240 can be increased, and the thermistor 230 can be mounted more reliably.

In the embodiment described above, a plurality of castellations 31a to 31f are formed on the side surface of the base 10, and each terminal is connected via an external wiring pattern (side surface terminal) formed on the castellations 31a to 31f. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and each terminal may be connected by something other than castellations 31a to 31f. Instead of the castellations 31a to 31f, for example, a plurality of vias (through holes) or half vias may be provided inside the base 10, and the terminals may be connected using these vias or half vias. Alternatively, each terminal may be connected using a combination of castellations, vias, and half vias.

Further, the castellations 31a to 31f do not need to be provided continuously on the second outer wall 13, the bottom 11, and the first outer wall 12 of the base 10, and may be formed on the second outer wall 13, the bottom 11, and the first outer wall. It may be provided in a part of the section 12. For example, for the second outer wall portion 13 and the first outer wall portion 12, only the castellations 31a to 31d at the four corners may be provided.

In the embodiment described above, each terminal is connected through the conductors in the plurality of through holes 32 to 34 provided in the base 10. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the terminals may be connected by other means than the through holes 32 to 34. Instead of the through holes 32 to 34, the terminals may be connected by, for example, castellations provided on the side surface of the base 10 or half vias provided inside the base 10. For example, instead of the through hole 32, the second internal terminal 22b and the fourth internal terminal 24b may be connected via a castellation 31c formed in the bottom portion 11.

In the above embodiment, the pair of second internal terminals 22a, 22b are formed larger than the pair of first internal terminals 21a, 21b, but conversely, the pair of first internal terminals 21a, 21b are formed to be larger than the pair of first internal terminals 21a, 21b. It may be formed larger than the pair of second internal terminals 22a, 22b. Further, the pair of first internal terminals 21a, 21b and the pair of second internal terminals 22a, 22b may have mutually different shapes. That is, the pair of first internal terminals 21a, 21b may be different from the pair of second internal terminals 22a, 22b in at least one of size and shape. For example, the pair of first internal terminals 21a, 21b may be rectangular, and the pair of second internal terminals 22a, 22b may be substantially rectangular with a chamfered shape or an R shape. Note that, as described above, when the internal wiring pattern 35 connected to the second internal terminal 22a is provided on the bottom surface 14a of the first recess 14, by checking whether or not the internal wiring pattern 35 is connected, , it becomes possible to distinguish between the pair of first internal terminals 21a, 21b and the pair of second internal terminals 22a, 22b.

In the above embodiment, the case where the functional component is a thermistor has been described, but the functional component is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, a diode, a heater element, an inductance, or the like. Note that the mounting direction of the functional component in the second recess 15 can be set as appropriate depending on the size and shape of the functional component.
