MSE14MCM3

Alarms, Buzzers, And Sirens Overview

The MSE14MCM3 is a miniature board-mount piezoelectric buzzer from the Mallory Sonalert MSE series. It operates on a DC input voltage range of 7 to 14V with a rated current of 50mA. The device generates a medium chime tone at a frequency of 3.5kHz, achieving a sound pressure level of 85 dBA. Designed for through-hole mounting via solder pins, it features a compact square footprint measuring 23mm by 23mm and a height of 14mm. The unit is rated for operation within a temperature range of -40°C to 85°C and complies with RoHS standards.

Alarms, Buzzers, And Sirens Feature Summary

• Integrates internal drive circuitry for direct connection to DC power sources without external oscillators.
• Produces a distinct medium chime acoustic pattern suitable for status indication or alert signaling.
• Constructed with a robust piezoelectric element capable of withstanding standard wave soldering processes.

Alarms, Buzzers, And Sirens Applications

• Industrial control panel status indicators
• Medical equipment operational alerts
• Consumer appliance failure warnings

Alarms, Buzzers, And Sirens Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix configuration against project requirements to ensure correct voltage rating and acoustic output characteristics. Confirm that the board layout accommodates the 23mm x 23mm footprint and 14mm height clearance. Ensure the PCB design supports through-hole solder pin termination and provides adequate thermal dissipation for continuous operation within the specified temperature range.

Alarms, Buzzers, And Sirens Selection Notes

Select this component when a dedicated chime signal is required rather than a continuous tone. The 7-14V operating range suits systems powered by standard low-voltage DC rails. Consider the 85dBA output for environments requiring moderate audibility. Verify compatibility with automated assembly processes if high-volume production is planned.

Alarms, Buzzers, And Sirens Part Context

This part belongs to the MSE series of miniature board-mount buzzers manufactured by Mallory Sonalert Products Inc. The series offers various acoustic patterns and voltage ratings in a standardized 23mm form factor. The MSE14MCM3 specifically targets applications needing a chime notification within the 7-14V DC domain.

Alarms, Buzzers, And Sirens Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include MSE14MDM3 (different pulse pattern) and MSE14LDM3 (different acoustic profile). Cross-series replacements require verifying mechanical dimensions and electrical parameters against the target application constraints.
