The values listed above pertain to test specimens. They are for reference purposes only and cannot be applied unconditionally to other shapes and dimensions. In practice, piezoelectric materials show varying values depending on their thickness, actual shape, surface finish, shaping process and post-processing.
Note: measurements made 24 hours after polarization.
Maximum voltage:5-7 VAC /mil for 850, 851, Type VI VDC ~2X.
9-11 VAC /mil for 840, 841, 842, 844, 880, 881 VDC ~2X.
*At 1 kHz, low field.
**Maximum operating temperature = Curie point/2.
Standard Tolerances (Tighter tolerances avaliable on request)
- Capacitance: ±20%
- d33 Value: ±20%
- Frequency: ±5% (to ±0.5% on request)
