BRT1615P-12-C

Overview

The Intervox BRT1615P-12-C is an externally driven magnetic electro-acoustic transducer designed for audio warning applications. It operates at a rated voltage of 12 VDC with a current rating of 30 mA. The device produces a continuous tone at a frequency of 2200 Hz, delivering a sound level of 85 dB measured at 10 cm. It features through-hole PC pin termination and has a physical dimension of 16 mm in diameter by 14.5 mm in height. The unit functions within a temperature range of -20°C to +70°C.

Feature Summary

• Externally driven magnetic transducer design
• Continuous tone audio output capability
• Through-hole PC pin termination for mounting

Applications

• General purpose audio warning devices
• Industrial alarm systems
• Equipment status indicators

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix configuration against official datasheets to ensure compatibility with required drive circuits. Confirm that the externally driven nature aligns with system control logic, as this model lacks an internal oscillator. Check mechanical dimensions and pin spacing against PCB layout requirements before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed-frequency acoustic signal is required without internal driving circuitry. Ensure the application environment remains within the specified -20°C to +70°C operating range. Verify that the external driver can supply the necessary 30 mA current at 12 VDC to achieve the rated 85 dB sound pressure level.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BRT1615 series of magnetic transducers from Intervox. The series includes variants with different voltage ratings, such as the 6V version. These components are distinct from self-exciting buzzers as they require an external square wave or pulse signal to generate sound.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other models within the BRT1615 series with matching electrical parameters. Cross-reference with generic 12V magnetic transducers only if pinout, frequency, and sound pressure levels are identical. Verify mounting hole diameter and terminal type compatibility.
