In a multi-axial angular velocity sensor, a substrate part perpendicular to a D3 axis includes a pair of long sides parallel to a D2 axis and a pair of short sides parallel to a D1 axis. Three sensor elements for the three axes are mounted on an upper surface of the substrate part. A piezoelectric body of each of the sensor elements comprises a plurality of arms. Theses arms extend in a predetermined direction of extension in a plane perspective of the upper surface. The piezoelectric body has the direction of extension as its long direction. Two of the three sensor element are arranged side by side in a direction along the short sides of the substrate part with orientations so that the directions of extension become parallel to the long sides. A remaining one is arranged in a direction along the long sides relative to the two elements with an orientation so that the direction of extension becomes parallel to the short sides.
