An electret capacitor microphone (ECM) can be
assembled by an automatic assembly machine, and has an
excellent thermal resistance against the influence of
heat during the assembly. The ECM includes a cylindrical
metal gate ring which is to be subjected to a caulking
force, instead of an insulator made of a resin having a
lower thermal resistance. The ECM has an amplifier block
consisting of a first assembly sub-block having a
back-plate and the metal gate ring, and a second assembly
sub-block having an FET and a printed circuit board so as to
be assembled by an automatic assembly machine.
Cette invention concerne un microphone électret capacitif pouvant être assemblé par une machine automatique et présentant une excellente résistance à l'échauffement en cours d'assemblage. L'objet de l'invention comprend une rondelle métallique qui doit être soumise à une force de matage au lieu d'un isolateur en résine à résistance thermique plus faible. Il comporte un bloc amplificateur formé d'un sous-bloc de premier assemblage à plaque arrière et rondelle métallique et d'un sous-bloc de second assemblage à transistor à effet de champ et plaquette de circuit imprimé, qui se prêtent à l'assemblage par une machine automatique.
