COM-10917

Speakers Overview

The SparkFun Electronics COM-10917 is a small surface transducer designed as an exciter speaker. It features an impedance of 8 Ohms and a maximum power handling capacity of 2 Watts, with a recommended operating range of 1 Watt. The device operates within a frequency range of 300 Hz to 19 kHz and has a self-resonant frequency of 16 kHz. Its rectangular form factor measures approximately 14.5 mm in height.

Speakers Feature Summary

• Rectangular surface transducer design for direct mounting
• High-frequency resonance optimized for vibration transmission
• Compact physical dimensions suitable for space-constrained projects

Speakers Applications

• Vibration-based audio effects in electronic art installations
• Haptic feedback actuators for interactive prototypes
• Surface-mounted sound generation in educational electronics kits

Speakers Procurement Notes

Verify the current product status before ordering, as this specific part number may be listed as obsolete by the manufacturer. Confirm availability through authorized distributors or alternative sourcing channels if standard stock is unavailable. Ensure compatibility with your enclosure design regarding the rectangular shape and mounting requirements.

Speakers Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, high-frequency exciter is required for vibrating surfaces rather than traditional air-coupled speakers. Consider the 8-ohm impedance for amplifier matching and ensure the application can accommodate the rectangular footprint. Evaluate the 16 kHz resonant frequency against the desired audio bandwidth needs.

Speakers Part Context

This component belongs to the category of surface transducers and exciters produced by SparkFun Electronics. These devices are distinct from conventional loudspeakers as they transmit sound through physical contact with a solid surface. They are commonly used in maker projects requiring unique audio output methods or tactile feedback mechanisms.

Speakers Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Due to the potentially obsolete status of this specific model, users should consult SparkFun's official catalog for current equivalent surface transducer products or generic 8-ohm exciters with similar dimensional constraints.
