Abstract

A surface mountable package includes a base and a cover with a cavity defined thereby, and an acoustic transducer unit received in the cavity. The cover includes a first metal ring to enclose the acoustic transducer unit. The base includes a second metal ring to press against the first metal ring in order to form a metal shielding area. First and second metal connecting paths are formed electrically connected to the metal shielding area and the acoustic transducer unit, respectively. Besides, two pairs of first and second surface mountable metal electrodes are electrically connected to the first and the second metal connecting paths, respectively. As a result, the package can be selectively double surface mountable to a user's circuit board via the metal electrodes of the base or the metal electrodes of the cover.
