MSW5CMHCT

Alarms, Buzzers, And Sirens Overview

The MSW5CMHCT is a through-hole piezoelectric buzzer manufactured by Mallory Sonalert Products Inc. It operates within a voltage range of 3 to 5.5V DC and draws a current of 400mA. The device produces a sound pressure level of 90dB at 5.5V measured from a distance of 10cm. Its operating frequency spans from 150Hz to 4kHz, allowing for variable tone generation. The component features solder pin termination and is designed for PCB mounting.

Alarms, Buzzers, And Sirens Feature Summary

• Capable of generating variable tones across a wide frequency spectrum
• High acoustic output efficiency relative to power consumption
• Designed for direct surface mounting via solder pins

Alarms, Buzzers, And Sirens Applications

• Industrial control panel signaling
• Medical equipment audio alerts
• Consumer appliance status indicators

Alarms, Buzzers, And Sirens Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation against the manufacturer's official datasheet to ensure correct voltage and acoustic specifications. Confirm that the through-hole package dimensions align with the target PCB footprint. Check for RoHS compliance documentation if required by regional regulations. Ensure the operating environment temperature falls within the specified range for reliable performance.

Alarms, Buzzers, And Sirens Selection Notes

Select this component when variable frequency audio output is required rather than a fixed tone. The high current draw necessitates appropriate driver circuitry on the PCB. Consider the 90dB output level for applications requiring audible alerts in moderately noisy environments. Verify that the 3-5.5V operating range matches the system power supply constraints.

Alarms, Buzzers, And Sirens Part Context

This part belongs to the MSW series of speakers and transducers from Mallory Sonalert. The series is characterized by octagonal shapes and broad frequency capabilities suitable for complex audio signaling needs. It complements the company's broader portfolio of fixed-tone buzzers and visual indicators.

Alarms, Buzzers, And Sirens Replacement Considerations

Consult the official Mallory Sonalert replacement guide for verified substitutes. Generic equivalents may not replicate the specific frequency modulation characteristics or acoustic profile.
