Abstract

An ultrasonic atomizer includes an electrically excitable piezoceramic and a coupling body being operatively connected to the piezoceramic. The coupling body has a surface coming into contact with a liquid to be atomized and the surface is in the form of a cap-shaped protuberance. The cap-shaped protuberance and the coupling body are formed of a metallic solid material.
