Abstract

A multilayer electrostrictive element having a first external electrode connected to an internal electrode on alternate layers on a first side surface of an electrostrictive structure having a plurality of electrostrictive substrates and internal electrodes and a second external electrode is connected to said other internal electrode on alternating layers, said first and second external electrodes having a plurality of projections protrude at a pitch corresponding to said internal electrode on alternating layers of said multilayer structure and a paste-like insulation agent applied with equal thickness to the respective side surface of said first and second electrodes of said multilayer structure. The plurality of projections of the first and second external electrodes is connect to each internal electrode taking away the insulation agent.
