A piezoelectric electro-acoustic transducer includes a substantially rectangular
piezoelectric diaphragm, a casing having a support unit for supporting four corners
of the piezoelectric diaphragm, terminals fixed to the casing such that an internal
connection portion of the terminal is exposed in the vicinity of the support unit,
a first elastic adhesive for coating between the external periphery of the piezoelectric
diaphragm and the internal connection portion of the terminal therewith, a conductive
adhesive for coating between electrodes of the piezoelectric diaphragm and the
internal connection portion of the terminal via the upper surface of the first
elastic adhesive therewith, and a second elastic adhesive for sealing the external
periphery of the piezoelectric diaphragm and the internal periphery of the casing,
and a cradle provided in the internal periphery of the casing as well as below
the piezoelectric diaphragm in the vicinity that is coated with the first elastic
adhesive for forming a gap for stopping flow of the first elastic adhesive at a
position lower than the support unit as well as between the upper surface of the
cradle and the bottom surface of the piezoelectric diaphragm.
