Abstract:
An insulating bushing of an electret condenser microphone is disposed on the rear side of a back electrode portion and abuts against the rear surface of back electrode plate. When a predetermined force is applied to the insulating bushing from the opened end of the case by way of a fixing ring and a printed circuit board, the insulating bushing deforms so as to fit into a gap formed between the inner peripheral face of the case and an end portion of the back electrode plate. Since the insulating bushing fits between the inner peripheral face of the case and the end portion of the back electrode plate, the back electrode plate is positioned and fixed with respect to the case in a state where the back electrode plate and the case are electrically insulated from each other.
