A recess (20b) is formed in a microphone body (20), and an element side terminal (23) in which a base (22) forming a terminal section in the recess is embedded and that is fixedly held at the base is electrically connected to the microphone body (20). The element side terminal (23) is formed as an elastically deformable terminal. Because of this structure, the terminal (23) is elastically deformed and conductively connected to the microphone body (20) side, and this eliminates the need of joining the element side terminal (23) and the microphone body (20) by soldering etc. As a result, the microphone body can be appropriately protected from being thermally affected. Further, the terminal section can be simply and reliably installed on an element body by automatic mounting.
