Abstract
A piezoelectric actuator includes external conductors formed on an outer surface of a piezoelectric component. The external conductors each include a thick-film conductor and a conductive reinforcer. The thick-film conductor is provided with a first thick-film conductor formed on the outer surface of the piezoelectric component, second thick-film conductors which are formed on part of an outer surface of the first thick-film conductor and which are in surface-contact with the outer surface of the first thick-film conductor. The conductive reinforcer is attached to outer surfaces of the second thick-film conductors.
