A piezoelectric oscillator comprising a piezoelectric vibrator with a piezoelectric vibrating element housed in a package and bottom terminals formed on the outer side of the bottom of the package, a circuit board with at least one electronic circuit component mounted and conductor patterns formed on the top side, and columnlike supports which mechanically and electrically connects the bottom terminals of the piezoelectric vibrator and the conductor patterns on the circuit board. The piezoelectric oscillator has a smaller board occupation area, and can be manufactured by quantity production using a batch process at a high productivity and a reduced cost.
