Abstract: A piezoelectric valve whose housing defines a valve chamber wherein at least one piezoelectric flexural transducer is located. The piezoelectric flexural transducer possesses a contact face, which faces a first outer wall of the valve housing. This first outer wall is in the form of a wiring support which possesses a support body consisting of plastic material, which at the outer side opposite to the valve chamber bears a wiring arrangement. The wiring arrangement is in electrical contact by way of a via extending through a cutout in the support body with the piezoelectric flexural transducer, since the via consists of an electrically conductive elastic plug, against which the at least one contact face is thrust at the inner face of the support body.

Abstract: The invention relates to a piezoelectric bending transducer (1), comprising a support body (3), a stack (4) of piezoceramic layers (6), arranged thereon and flat electrodes (7, 8) arranged between the layers (6). On the side of the support body (3) facing the stack (4) an adaptation layer (10) is arranged with essentially the same coefficient of expansion as the piezoceramic. The bending transducer (1) displays a good actuating power and a low thermal natural distortion with economical production costs. Said transducer is particularly suitable for application in a valve.
