Abstract

The invention concerns a piezoelectric resonator (10), intended to be packaged in a case, including a base (12) formed of a first fixing zone (121), a second central mechanical uncoupling zone (122) and a third zone (123) opposite to the first fixing zone. At least two vibrating arms (13a, 13b) extend from said third zone, on each of which at least one groove (141a-144a, 141b-144b) is formed on at least one of the top or bottom faces of the arms. The resonator is characterised in that the base is provided with a hole (15) through the second central mechanical uncoupling zone.
