T - Single sheets are considered transducer elements. They are generally used as construction stock and are not mounted or wired.

Thicker sheets increase the volume of piezoceramic. Greater volume produces greater energy output in roughly the same space.

1 - designates a single sheet.

The third and fourth positions indicate the sheet thickness:

05 - .005" (.127mm)
07 - .0075" (.191mm)
10 - .0105" (.267mm)
20 - .020" (.508mm)
40 - .040" (1.02mm)
80 - .080" (2.03mm)

PSI-5A4E is an industry type 5A (Navy Type II) piezoceramic. Thin vacuum sputtered nickel electrodes produce extremely low current leakage and low magnetic permeability. 5A has a wide temperature range and is most insensitive to temperature.

PSI-5H4E is an industry type 5H (Navy Type VI) piezoceramic. It has a high motion/volt and charge/newton rating, which is useful when voltage or force is limited. Thin vacuum sputtered nickel electrodes produce extremely low current leakage and low magnetic permeability. However, its temperature range is limited and its properties are more sensitive to temperature.

PSI-5A4E is an industry type 5A (Navy Type II) piezoceramic with non-magnetic (silver) electrodes. It has a wide temperature range and is most insensitive to temperature.

The shim reinforcement material is not applicable to single sheet elements.
