In a method and arrangement for sealing a piezoactuator having terminal pins (12) protruding from the piezoactuator and a top plate (14) surmounting the piezoactuator, the top plate is provided with openings (16) to enable the terminal pins (12) to pass through. In order to ensure a reliable seal even for comparatively thin top plates (14) in particular, the invention proposes placing a sealing-ring (28) made from an elastic sealant material on each of the terminal pin sections (30) protruding from the openings (16), so that the sealing ring fits tightly to a circumferential surface (32) of the terminal pin section (30), as well as to the top plate (14), forming a seal, and being pressure-injected into the top plate (14) by means of a plastic extrusion coating (arrows in FIG. 1).
