PB-12S20PQ

Overview

The PB-12S20PQ is an externally driven magnetic buzzer manufactured by Mallory Sonalert Products Inc. It operates at a rated voltage of 1.5 VDC with a current consumption of 32 mA. The device produces a continuous tone at a frequency of 2.048 kHz, achieving a sound pressure level of 75 dB when measured at a distance of 10 cm. This component utilizes through-hole PC pin termination for circuit board mounting.

Feature Summary

• Externally driven magnetic transducer design
• Continuous tone generation capability
• Through-hole PC pin termination for PCB integration

Applications

• General purpose audio indication
• Low voltage electronic equipment signaling
• Consumer electronics status alerts

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific operating voltage and frequency requirements against the system design specifications before procurement. Confirm that the through-hole PC pin footprint matches the target printed circuit board layout. Ensure the ambient acoustic environment allows for the specified sound pressure level to be effective for the intended alert function.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring a simple, low-voltage audible indicator. The 1.5 VDC rating makes it suitable for battery-powered devices. Consider the 75 dB output level relative to the required audibility distance. The external drive requirement means the host circuit must provide the necessary signal waveform.
