Abstract
The electronic component includes at least one resonator element arranged in a housing of a case. The case includes a main part with a base and at least one lateral wall of annular shape, and a cover fixed onto the main part to hermetically seal the housing of the case. One portion of the cover is transparent to a determined wavelength of a light beam to allow the resonator element to be optically adjusted once the case is sealed. The cover is fixed onto a rim of the lateral wall of the main part, which is preferably made of a ceramic material, such that one part of the rim preferably surrounds the entire lateral surface of the cover to ensure protection of the electronic component against lateral shocks.
