ELECTROACOUSTIC TRANSDUCER

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To allow an electroacoustic transducer of a dynamic electric type with a terminal member composed of a cantilever-like blade spring to be compact and have good workability during manufacturing, and further to reliably carry out electric connection with external apparatuses. SOLUTION: The electric connection with the external apparatuses is reliably carried out by making a tip end unit 22e of a terminal member 22, whose base unit 22a is fixed to a frame 16, engage with a latch member 24A in a state to be bent by a predetermined amount. At the time, the latch member 24A is configured as a metal member integrally with a frame 16 by insert molding. Accordingly, required strength can be secured even if the thickness is made thin, and the latch material 24A can be made compact compared to when the latch material is formed as a portion of the frame 16 made of synthetic resin as the conventional method. Moreover, precision of a position and a supporting strength of the latch material 24A can be sufficiently secured. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
