AST0760MCTRQ

Overview

The AST0760MCTRQ is a surface-mount piezoelectric buzzer from the AST series by Mallory Sonalert Products Inc. It operates at a rated voltage of 3V and produces a sound pressure level of 85dB at a frequency of 2.7kHz. The component features SMD/SMT termination with dimensions of 7.5mm x 7.5mm x 2.5mm. It is supplied in tape and reel packaging for automated assembly.

Feature Summary

• Surface-mount piezoelectric design for compact integration
• Single-tone alarm functionality
• Internal driver circuitry

Applications

• Electronic equipment status indication
• Consumer appliance alerts
• Industrial control panel signaling

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'CTRQ' confirms tape and reel packaging requirements against your manufacturing line specifications. Confirm that the 3V operating voltage aligns with your system's power supply rails. Ensure PCB footprint matches the 7.5x7.5mm package dimensions to prevent assembly errors during placement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when space constraints require a low-profile SMD solution. The piezoelectric technology offers consistent performance across the specified temperature range. Consider the internal driver capability if minimizing external circuitry complexity is a priority for the design.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AST series of audio indicators, which includes various electromagnetic and piezoelectric options. The manufacturer provides ECAD models to facilitate schematic and layout integration. The product is classified under transducers and audio devices within the broader Mallory Sonalert portfolio.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes within the AST series that share identical mounting dimensions and electrical characteristics. Verify compatibility with existing PCB footprints before substituting with other surface-mount buzzers from different manufacturers.
