ABSTRACT:
An ultrasonic transducer comprises a diaphragm formed by a metal plate provided with a bulged portion in its center and a piezoelectric element bonded to the inner surface of the bulged portion thereby to make the diaphragm vibrate in a bending mode. A node line is present outside the bulged portion in vibration of the diaphragm, and the diaphragm is sandwiched by first and second elastic members along the node line. The first and second elastic members are held between a case and a base fixed thereto so that the diaphragm is elastically retained through the first and second elastic members.
