HEAD CHIP, LIQUID JET HEAD, LIQUID JET RECORDING DEVICE, AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING HEAD CHIP

A head chip prevented from deteriorating in printing quality is provided. The head chip is provided with an intermediate plate which has a plurality of columns of communication hole groups for each channel column, the communication hole group having communication holes individually communicated with ejection channels of an actuator plate and arranged in a line in an X direction. The communication holes adjacent to each other in the X direction are arranged so as to be shifted in a Y direction from each other. The intermediate plate is provided with a non-penetrating groove closed by a nozzle plate, and a penetrating hole communicated with the non-penetrating groove, and communicated with an outside of the head chip through a non-ejection channel. A part of the non-penetrating groove is located in an inter-communication hole region. A minimum gap in the X direction between an opening edge of the communication hole and the non-penetrating groove in the inter-communication hole region is larger than a minimum gap in the X direction between the opening edge of the communication hole and the non-ejection channel.
