PA2AD

Plate Actuators

The PA2AD piezoelectric chip consists of stacked piezoelectric ceramic layers (which are mechanically in series) that are sandwiched between interdigitated electrodes (which are electrically in parallel). It offers a maximum displacement of 1.1 μm ± 15%. A black dot is located next to the electrode that should receive positive bias; the other electrode should be grounded. The electrodes are bare.

NOTE:

a. All specifications are quoted at 25 °C, unless otherwise stated.

b. The "free stroke" displacement corresponds to no load.

c. Displacement varies with loading. When used with this load, these chips achieve the maximum displacement, which is larger than the free stroke displacement.

d. These specifications are for the unwired chip.

e. This specification is for the unwired chip. No extra cleaning is needed to achieve this value, though it is recommended to clean the part with isopropyl alcohol (IPA) in an ultrasonic immersion tank and then bake it at 60 °C for two hours.
