PB-2416-3

Overview

The PB-2416-3 is an externally driven piezoelectric transducer manufactured by Soberton Inc. It operates at a nominal voltage of 12 V with a current consumption of 10 mA. The device produces a sound pressure level of 90 dB at 12 V and 10 cm distance. Its resonant frequency is 2.8 kHz. The component utilizes through-hole mounting with PC pins for termination.

Feature Summary

• Externally driven piezoelectric design requiring external oscillator circuitry
• Through-hole construction with PC pin termination for board mounting
• High acoustic output capability suitable for alarm applications

Applications

• Industrial alarm systems
• Electronic equipment status indicators
• Security system sirens

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix and packaging configuration against the manufacturer's latest datasheet before ordering. Confirm that the required drive circuitry is compatible with the externally driven nature of this transducer. Ensure mechanical dimensions fit the intended PCB layout, as variations may exist between distributors.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-intensity audible signal is required in industrial or commercial environments. The externally driven architecture allows for flexible frequency control via the driving circuit. Consider the through-hole form factor if surface-mount options are unsuitable for the assembly process.

Part Context

This part belongs to the PB series of piezoelectric buzzers from Soberton Inc. These components are designed for general-purpose audio indication where high volume is necessary. The series typically offers various voltage ratings and mounting styles to accommodate different enclosure designs.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other externally driven piezo buzzers with similar 12 V operation and 2.8 kHz resonance. Verify that replacement parts match the 90 dB SPL requirement and physical mounting hole spacing to ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints.
