Abstract
The invention concerns an assembly comprising a piezoelectric resonator and a case, said case including a main part with a bottom and sides, in which said resonator is mounted and a cover fixed to said main part, said resonator including a tuning fork shaped part with two parallel vibrating arms connected to each other by a linking part, and a central arm protruding from said linking part and located between both vibrating arms carrying at least two electrodes to make them vibrate, these two electrodes being connected respectively to at least first and second connection pads located on a back face of said central arm oriented toward the bottom of the case, said case further comprising at least one support secured to its bottom on which said central arm of the resonator is fixed by means of at least first and second connection elements located on said support and electrically connected respectively to said first and second connection pads by a conductive adhesive, wherein guiding means are provided at least with either said first connection pad or element being located on the linking part side in order to flow excess of said conductive adhesive away from the second electrode being n…
