A piezoelectric actuator is described, for example for actuating a mechanical component, in which a piezoelectric element that produces tensile or compressive force acting on an actuation element is provided. The piezoelectric element has a multi-layer structure of piezoelectric layers with internal electrodes (2, 3) disposed between them. The contacting of the internal electrodes (2, 3) on alternate sides takes place by means of external electrodes (10, 11). External electrical connections (12) for the lateral contacting are affixed to an inactive end region (4, 5, 6, 7; 13, 14) in the multi-layer structure, which has a heat-conducting core (5; 14) with a favorable heat conductivity.
