A multi-layer component () is specified, comprising a main body () with an external contact () arranged thereon, a further contact () for electrically contacting the multi-layer component (), and a connecting element () for connecting the external contact () and the further contact (), wherein the connecting element () is embodied in such a way that a decoupling of mechanical stresses that occur in the further contact () from the external contact () is brought about.

Multi-layer component having an external contact

A piezoelectric multilayer component is specified. At least one external electrode is fixed to a stack of piezoelectric layers and electrode layers arranged therebetween. At least one region of the external electrode projects beyond the stack and the external electrode is at least partly pressure-deformed in said region. Furthermore, a method for forming an external electrode in a piezoelectric multilayer component is specified.
