ABSTRACT:
A piezoelectric laminate stack having a plurality of piezoelectric plates manufactured of a piezoelectric element, and a plurality of metal plates. The metal plates have approximately the same shape as the piezoelectric plates, and are formed with at least two projections, respectively, on the periphery thereof. The length of the projections is greater than the thickness of the piezoelectric plates. The piezoelectric plates and the metal plates are alternately stacked. The projections of a first group of metal plates are located at angular positions different to angular positions of the projections of a second group of metal plates. The projections are bent in a direction along the axis of the laminate stack in such a manner that the first group of metal plates are electrically connected together and the second group of the metal plates are electrically connected together.
