Abstract

Abstract A composite part of a piezo-electric resonator and a condenser integrally joined together and a method of producing the composite part. A composite element is formed of a piezo-electric resonator and a condenser each provided with end electrodes at end portions thereof by fixedly integrating the piezo-electric resonator and the condenser under the condition that a gap serving as a vibration space is formed between the face of the piezo-electric resonator and the face of the condenser opposing the face of the piezo-electric resonator. This composite element is cut out of a pile of a laterally long piezo-electric resonator and a laterally long condenser by cutting it in the direction of width. This composite element is housed in a case and both end electrodes and a common electrode thereof are connected with lead terminals, the opening of the case being sealed.
