BS2416L-12-B

Overview

The Intervox BS2416L-12-B is a magnetic electronic buzzer designed for audio warning applications. It operates at a nominal voltage of 12 VDC with a current draw of 25 mA. The device generates a sound frequency of 400 Hz and produces an acoustic output of 75 dB when measured at a distance of 20 cm. The unit features a flange mount design with wire leads for connection. Its physical dimensions are approximately 33.5 mm in diameter by 17 mm in height.

Feature Summary

• Magnetic transducer technology for reliable low-frequency sound generation
• Flange mounting style with integrated wire leads for simplified installation
• Rugged solid-state construction suitable for industrial environments

Applications

• Industrial control panel alarms
• Motor control cabinet warnings
• General purpose audio signaling devices

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific lead wire gauge and length requirements against your assembly drawings before ordering. Confirm that the 12 VDC supply matches the system voltage to ensure proper operation and longevity. Check for any environmental sealing needs as this model appears to be a standard open or semi-enclosed type without explicit IP ratings in available documentation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a simple, cost-effective magnetic buzzer is required for 12 VDC systems. Ensure the application can accommodate the 75 dB acoustic level at 20 cm. Compare against piezoelectric alternatives if higher volume or different frequency characteristics are needed. Verify space constraints fit the 33.5 x 17 mm form factor.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Intervox line of solid-state electronic buzzers, which are characterized by their simplicity and ruggedness. These devices are typically used where low-frequency sound is sufficient for alerting personnel. The BS series generally denotes magnetic buzzers with specific voltage and size configurations.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other 12 VDC magnetic buzzers from ICC/Intervox such as the BS2316L-12-B, though dimensional and acoustic differences should be verified. Cross-referencing with generic 12V 400Hz magnetic buzzers is possible but requires checking mounting hole patterns and lead lengths.
