PB-2416-2

Overview

The PB-2416-2 is an externally driven piezoelectric buzzer manufactured by Soberton Inc. It operates at a rated voltage of 12 VDC with a current consumption of 8 mA. The device features a resonant frequency of 2.8 kHz and produces a sound pressure level of 85 dB when measured at a distance of 10 cm. Designed for through-hole mounting, it has a diameter of 23.8 mm and a height of 16.0 mm. The component functions within an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Externally driven piezoelectric transducer requiring external driver circuitry
• Through-hole PC pin mounting configuration
• Non-washable type construction

Applications

• Audio indication in electronic devices
• Alarm systems requiring 12V operation
• Industrial control panel signaling

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix and package variant against the official datasheet before ordering. Confirm that the application environment remains within the specified -40°C to +85°C operating temperature range. Ensure the design includes necessary external drive circuitry as this is an externally driven unit. Check for RoHS compliance status if required by local regulations.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a passive piezo buzzer is required for 12V DC applications. It is suitable for designs needing a 2.8 kHz acoustic output without integrated drivers. Consider the 23.8 mm diameter for enclosure space planning. Verify that the non-washable nature aligns with the manufacturing process requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Soberton PB series of piezoelectric buzzers. These components are designed for general audio indication purposes. The series offers various voltage and frequency options. The PB-2416-2 specifically targets 12V systems with standard through-hole integration.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes from Soberton or other manufacturers offering identical 12V, 2.8kHz, 23.8mm diameter specifications. Ensure replacement parts maintain the externally driven requirement and through-hole mounting style.
