Patent ID: 6957475

Claim:
A method of manufacturing a piezoelectric component, comprising the steps of: forming an unhardened first elastic material partially on at least a pair of end portions of a piezoelectric element, the pair of end portions including an edge portion of the piezoelectric element; hardening the first elastic material; forming an unhardened second elastic material on an entire circumference of the piezoelectric element and the first elastic material; hardening the second elastic material; and forming an unhardened outer-cladding resin on the entire circumference of the second elastic material covering the piezoelectric element and the first elastic material; and hardening the outer-cladding resin; wherein the total thickness of first and second elastic materials at the edge portions of the piezoelectric element is larger than a difference between the maximum contraction amount of the outer-cladding resin and a maximum contraction amount of the piezoelectric element.
