P/N: P17040W40-15C-4000-F
Type: Piezo Buzzer
When an electrical current is applied to the piezoelectric element, it causes the material to vibrate rapidly, generating sound waves. Passive piezo buzzers do not have built-in oscillators or drivers, so an external signal source, such as a microcontroller or an audio circuit, is required to generate the desired sound.
This buzzer is designed for applications where a low-profile, easy-to-drive component is required for clear audio feedback. Its specifications offer distinct advantages:
1. Ultra-Low Profile Design
The minimal height of 4.0mm is a significant advantage for modern, slim-line consumer electronics and compact PCBs where vertical space is extremely constrained.
2. Simplified Direct Microcontroller Drive
The low 5V peak-to-peak (Vp-p) drive voltage requirement means it can often be driven directly from a 5V microcontroller's GPIO pin (through a current-limiting resistor) or with a very simple, low-cost transistor circuit. This simplifies design and reduces the Bill of Materials (BOM) cost.
3. Space-Efficient Diameter
The 17.0mm diameter provides a larger sound-producing surface area compared to smaller buzzers (e.g., 12mm), contributing to a clearer and more efficient sound output without being overly large.
4. Optimal Frequency for Alert Tones
The 4kHz resonant frequency is within the range where the human ear is most sensitive, ensuring the 80dB tone is perceived as clearly audible and attention-grabbing, ideal for alerts and notifications.
5. Cost and Power Efficiency
As a passive component, it consumes less power than an electromagnetic buzzer and is typically more cost-effective than an active buzzer with a built-in driver, offering excellent value.
6. High Reliability
Piezo buzzers have no moving coils to wear out, making them highly reliable and resistant to shock and vibration, ensuring a long operational lifespan.
This buzzer is perfect for any device that requires a clear, piercing alert tone. Common applications include:
Household Appliances: Microwave ovens, washing machines, rice cookers, air conditioners (end-of-cycle alerts, button press confirmation).
Consumer Electronics: Digital multimeters, thermostats, smoke/CO detectors, security system keypads.
Automotive Electronics: Keyless entry systems, tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) sensors, reverse parking sensors.
Industrial Controls & Equipment: Alarm panels, timers, counters, machinery status indicators (e.g., error beeps).
Electronic Toys and Gadgets: Audio feedback for button presses or game events.
