  • Multi-layer component having an external contact
    Patent number: 10381543
    Abstract: A multi-layer component (1) is specified, comprising a main body (2) with an external contact (3) arranged thereon, a further contact (5) for electrically contacting the multi-layer component (1), and a connecting element (4) for connecting the external contact (3) and the further contact (5), wherein the connecting element (4) is embodied in such a way that a decoupling of mechanical stresses that occur in the further contact (5) from the external contact (3) is brought about.
    Type: Grant

  • Piezoelectric multilayer component and method for forming an external electrode in a piezoelectric multilayer component
    Patent number: 9214621
    Abstract: 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.
