Abstract

Provided is an electronic component module which has high reliability and is capable of suppressing reduction in handling performance of a mounting machine. An electronic component module includes a plurality of electronic components mounted on a top surface of a module substrate, a planar top plate covering the electronic components, and a top plate holding member for holding the top plate. The plurality of electronic components include a quartz resonator, and a RF-IC which has a height smaller than that of the quartz resonator and is disposed on the top surface of the module substrate so as to be side by side with the quartz resonator. In addition, the top plate is fixed to the quartz resonator, and the top plate holding member for holding the top plate is disposed between the RF-IC and the top plate.
