An object of the invention is to provide an oscillator with a pedestal that facilitates soldering operations and offers a high level of productivity. A surface mount crystal oscillator with a pedestal comprises a crystal oscillator with lead wires led out from a bottom surface of a metallic base thereof; and a pedestal having a substantially rectangular outer shape in plan view, has insertion holes through which the lead wires pass, and is attached to a bottom surface of the crystal oscillator, and has mount terminals to be electrically connected to the lead wires formed on a bottom surface thereof. The configuration is such that the insertion holes are provided in four corner sections of the pedestal, in the four corner sections of the bottom surface of the pedestal where the insertion holes are formed there is provided a recess with an open outer periphery, and the lead wire is connected to a terminal electrode formed inside the recess, using solder.
