1. A hermetically sealed unit for carrying surface acoustic wave devices, comprising:
- a printed circuit board having a substrate with a given surface area on which circuit patterns including circuit terminals are formed;
a spacer layer provided on the periphery of the surface of the printed circuit board surrounding the surface area and circuit patterns thereon;
a plurality of surface acoustic wave devices each having a piezoelectric substrate on which at least one pair of strip shaped electrodes with connecting terminals are formed, said devices being mounted on the surface of the printed circuit board with the connecting terminals thereof joined physically and electrically to corresponding circuit terminals of the circuit patterns thereon;
a cover sealed by adhesive to the spacer layer on the printed circuit board for hermetically sealing the surface of the printed circuit board on which the surface acoustic wave devices are mounted; and
a peripheral edge of the printed circuit board being formed with semicircular cutout portions provided with external terminals which are electrically connected to the circuit terminals of the circuit patterns and to the connecting terminals of the surface acoustic wave devices, thereby allowing the surface acoustic wave devices to be electrically connected to external circuits through said external terminals while maintaining the hermetic seal of said carrying unit.

Abstract
A unit comprising a printed board on which a plurality of surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices are installed. Each SAW device comprises a piezoelectric substate on which arrays of strip electrodes are formed. A cover is mounted over the SAW devices to hermetically seal the surfaces of the SAW devices on which the electrodes are formed. The terminals of the board are directly coupled to the terminals of the SAW devices.
