The electromechanical coupling coefficient is a numerical measure of the conversion efficiency between electrical and acoustic energy in piezoelectric materials.

Qualitatively the electromechanical coupling coefficient, k, can be described as:

k − 2 = 1 energy converted per input energy {\displaystyle k^{-2}={\frac {1}{\mbox{ energy converted per input energy}}}}
