* At 0 to 100 V. The values refer to the unattached component and can be lower when glued on.
** At 0 to 100 V
*** Measured at 1 Vpp, 1 kHz, RT
**** Measured at 1 Vpp, no load, unclamped. The value is halved for unilateral clamping. Depending on the installation situation, the lateral resonant frequencies can be lower than the axial resonant frequencies.
