MSS5MMX

Alarms, Buzzers, And Sirens Overview

The MSS5MMX is a magnetic buzzer from the MSS series manufactured by Mallory Sonalert Products Inc. It features internal drive circuitry and operates on a 5 V DC supply with a voltage range of 4 to 6 V. The device produces an 85 dB sound pressure level at 10 cm and functions at a frequency of 2.075 kHz. Current consumption ranges from 46 to 150 mA. It utilizes through-hole PC pin termination for board mounting. The unit is rated for medical applications, complies with UL and cUL standards, and operates within a temperature range of -30°C to 55°C.

Alarms, Buzzers, And Sirens Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official Mallory documentation to confirm exact acoustic output and tone characteristics. Confirm that the intended application meets the specified medical certification requirements. Ensure the operating voltage remains within the 4-6 VDC range to maintain performance. Check current draw limits against the power supply design. Validate thermal constraints against the -30°C to 55°C operational rating.

Alarms, Buzzers, And Sirens Selection Notes

Select this component when internal drive simplicity is required for a 5 V system. The MSS series offers various acoustic outputs; verify the specific decibel rating matches the environment. Consider the physical dimensions of 23x23 mm for panel cutouts. Evaluate the through-hole mounting style against available PCB space. Compare current consumption with other series options if power efficiency is critical.
