Abstract
Abstract A surface acoustic wave device comprising a device body and a multilayer printed board. The body has a piezoelectric substrate on which arrays of strip electrodes are formed. The body is covered with an insulating film except for locations where terminals are formed. The printed board is spaced a given distance from the body. The terminals of the printed board are connected via a solder layer with the terminals of the device body.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
206 words
A surface acoustic wave device comprising: a device body having a piezoelectric substrate on which at least one pair of strip electrodes is formed on a planar surface of the substrate which is of a given area, the device body having a first plurality of terminals connected to respective ones of the strip electrodes and disposed within the area of the surface and projecting perpendicularly a predetermined distance from the surface, the surface of the device body on which the electrodes are formed being covered with an insulating film over the given area except for the first plurality of terminals; and a printed board having a planar surface which is of a given area disposed opposite to the surface of the device body on which the electrodes are formed, the board having a second plurality of terminals, corresponding in location to the first plurality of terminals and projecting perpendicularly a predetermined distance from the board surface, which are physically and electrically coupled to the first terminals of the device body, the substrate surface, electrodes, and insulating film of the device body thereby being spaced a given distance from the opposing surface of the printed board by the perpendicularly projecting distances of the first and second terminals.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
