Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the BRP2416P-12-C to confirm exact resonant frequency tolerances and acoustic measurements. Ensure that the procurement source provides original manufacturer documentation to validate the 85 dB sound pressure level specification at 30 cm distance. Cross-reference the terminal type as through-hole pins to match PCB layout requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a simple, internally driven piezo alarm is required for 12V systems. The wide operating voltage range allows flexibility in power supply design. Consider the 23.8 mm diameter and through-hole mounting style for mechanical integration. This part is suitable for applications needing a constant tone without external oscillator circuits.

Part Context

This part belongs to the self-oscillating piezoelectric alarm series from International Components Corp. These devices are designed to replace complex buzzer assemblies by integrating the driver circuit directly onto the piezo element.
