MSS5PLMSP

Alarms, Buzzers, And Sirens Overview

The MSS5PLMSP is a magnetic buzzer from the Mallory Sonalert MSS series, designed for through-hole mounting with PC pins. It operates on a DC input within a voltage range of 4.5 to 5.5 V and draws current between 46 and 150 mA. The device produces a sound pressure level of 85 dB at 5 V measured at 10 cm distance. Its operating frequency is 2.075 kHz, and it features variable duration control via pin selection. The unit measures 23x23 mm and functions within a temperature range of -30°C to +55°C.
