Abstract

A sensor element is formed by, when an α axis, a β axis orthogonal to the α axis, and a γ axis orthogonal to the α axis and the β axis are set, laminating piezoelectric substrates and electrodes in the γ axis direction. The sensor element includes connecting sections arranged such that a part of external sections of the electrodes aligns with a part of external sections of the piezoelectric substrates. The connecting sections are arranged not to align with one another in a direction of the γ axis. Conductors that electrically connect the connecting sections and external connecting sections are formed along outer peripheral sections of the piezoelectric substrates.
