EK-23024-000

Overview

The EK-23024-000 is an omnidirectional electret condenser microphone manufactured by Knowles. It features a surface-mount device (SMD/SMT) termination type for automated assembly. The component measures 5.56 mm in length, 3.98 mm in width, and 2.21 mm in depth. It provides a sensitivity of -53 dBA and includes a 12-second port configuration.

Feature Summary

• Omnidirectional acoustic design for uniform sound capture from all directions
• Compact surface-mount form factor suitable for space-constrained electronics
• Integrated port structure for acoustic tuning

Applications

• Consumer audio recording devices
• Voice recognition systems
• Portable communication equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official Knowles documentation to confirm exact sensitivity and port specifications. Ensure the ordering code matches the required electrical parameters for your circuit design. Confirm RoHS compliance status through the manufacturer's current datasheet before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when an omnidirectional response is required within a strict 5.56 x 3.98 mm footprint. The SMD package facilitates efficient PCB assembly processes. Evaluate the -53 dBA sensitivity against your system's noise floor requirements to ensure adequate signal-to-noise ratio.

Part Context

This part belongs to the EK/EY series of microphones produced by Knowles. These components are categorized under Audio Devices and are designed for integration into compact electronic systems requiring reliable acoustic transduction.

Replacement Considerations

EK-23028-005 shares identical physical dimensions and omnidirectional characteristics but offers different sensitivity specifications.
