Abstract
In a piezoelectric ceramic composition including potassium sodium niobate, a transition temperature at which a phase transition between an orthorhombic crystal structure and a tetragonal crystal structure occurs lies in a temperature range of −20° C. or higher and 60° C. or lower. In the piezoelectric ceramic composition, αt/αo is 0.72 or more, where αo represents a coefficient of linear expansion determined when a crystal structure is orthorhombic in the temperature range, and αt represents a coefficient of linear expansion determined when a crystal structure is tetragonal in the temperature range.
