Piezoelectric Plate (T106-J1NO-1808) Online Online Original

PSI-5J1E is an industry type 5J (Navy Type V) piezoceramic. Thin vacuum sputtered silver electrodes produce extremely low current leakage and low magnetic permeability. This material provides a compromise between PZT 5A and 5H.

When an electric field having the same polarity and orientation as the original polarization field is placed across the thickness of a single sheet of piezoceramic, the piece expands along the axis of polarization (thickness direction) and contracts perpendicular to the axis of polarization (length and width direction). The motion in the thickness direction is on the order of tens of nanometers. Motion in the length direction is typically on the order of microns or tens of microns.
