Appeal No. 95-3001 Application No. 08/195,844 The disclosed invention relates to a piezoelectric resonance device in which the width of the dielectric substrate of a capacitor portion of the device is larger than the width of adjacent portions of terminals. Claim 1 is illustrative of the claimed invention, and it reads as follows: 1. A piezoelectric resonance device comprising: a piezo-resonator which has oscillation electrodes provided on front and back sides of a piezoelectric substrate and vibrates in a shear mode; an input terminal and an output terminal for supporting the piezo-resonator, each of the input terminal and the output terminal having cup portions connected with the oscillation electrodes electrically; a capacitor which has a common electrode on one side of a dielectric substrate, and opposed electrodes on the other side of the dielectric substrate spaced from one another along a first dimension of the dielectric substrate, the opposed electrodes being connected electrically with an outer side of the cup portions of the terminals along said first dimension and along a second dimension, the second dimension of the dielectric substrate being larger than that of the cup portions of the terminals; and a grounding terminal which is connected electrically with the common electrode of the capacitor.
