MSS5PLMCT

Alarms, Buzzers, And Sirens Overview

The MSS5PLMCT is a medical-grade magnetic buzzer from the Mallory Sonalert MSS series, designed for board mount applications. It operates on a 5V DC supply with an internal driver circuit and draws between 46 to 150 mA. The device produces a continuous tone at a frequency of 2.075 kHz with a sound pressure level of 85 dB at 5V measured at 10cm. It features PC pin termination for through-hole installation and is certified by UL and cUL standards.

Alarms, Buzzers, And Sirens Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific suffix 'MCT' aligns with the required packaging configuration, as standard datasheets may list bulk or tape-and-reel variants without explicit suffix differentiation in general descriptions. Confirm UL/cUL certification marks are present on the physical unit for medical compliance audits. Ensure the operating voltage range of 4 to 6V matches the target system power rails before integration.

Alarms, Buzzers, And Sirens Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, high-intensity audible indicator is needed for medical devices. The 23x23mm form factor suits space-constrained PCB layouts. The internal driver simplifies control logic by eliminating external oscillator requirements. Consider the 85dB SPL for environments where moderate noise levels are acceptable.
