BRT1615P-12

Overview

The Intervox BRT1615P-12 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 consumption of 40 mA. The device produces a continuous tone at a frequency of 2.048 kHz, achieving a sound pressure level of 90 dB measured at a distance of 10 cm. It utilizes through-hole PC pin termination for mounting.

Feature Summary

• Externally driven magnetic transducer design
• Continuous tone generation capability
• Through-hole PC pin termination

Applications

• Audio warning devices
• Alarm systems
• Buzzer circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix (e.g., -C) when ordering, as it may indicate variations in electrical parameters such as current draw or sound pressure level compared to the base model. Confirm that the required operating voltage and frequency match your system design before procurement. Ensure the through-hole PC pin pitch matches your PCB layout specifications to avoid assembly issues.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring a simple, externally driven magnetic buzzer with standard through-hole mounting. Compare the 40 mA current rating against your power supply capabilities. Consider the 90 dB sound level at 10 cm for audibility requirements. Verify if the 2.048 kHz frequency is suitable for your specific alert signaling needs.

Part Context
