Liquid ejecting head and liquid ejecting apparatus

A liquid ejecting head comprising:

• a first head chip having a nozzle configured to eject liquid in a first direction;
• a holder disposed in a second direction opposite to the first direction and holding the first head chip;
• and
• a relay member, wherein
• the first head chip includes
• a first flow path member having a flow path communicating with the nozzle,
• a pressure chamber substrate having a pressure chamber communicating with the nozzle and laminated on the first flow path member in the second direction,
• a drive element for generating a pressure change in liquid within the pressure chamber,
• a flexible substrate electrically coupled to the drive element,
• a protective substrate laminated on the pressure chamber substrate in the second direction and accommodating the drive element, and
• a second flow path member having a flow path communicating with the flow path of the first flow path member and an opening portion into which the flexible substrate is inserted, the second flow path member being laminated on the first flow path member in the second direction at a position different from a position of the pressure chamber substrate, and
• the relay member is a member that is inserted into the opening portion of the second flow path member and does not define a flow path through which liquid flows, the relay member including a contact portion that contacts an upper surface of the protective substrate facing the second direction, and a supported portion supported by the holder.
