Abstract

An electromagnetic audio transducer for SMD applications. The transducer comprises a lead frame with external terminals, which are formed into a predetermined shape. The transducer has a case with inside and outside surfaces, where the case is integrated with the lead frame to expose the external terminals at its outside surface. The transducer has solder bases formed by exposing the lead frame at the inside surface of the case. The drive section of the transducer has a coil arranged inside the case, with the coil having coil terminals, and the coil terminals are led to the solder bases for electrical connection at the inside surface of the case.
