• Through-hole solder pin termination
• High acoustic output capability

Applications

• Audio indicators
• Alerts
• Transducers

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact part number against official Mallory Sonalert documentation to ensure compatibility. Confirm that the external drive requirement matches your circuit design, as this component does not contain internal oscillation circuitry. Check datasheet specifications for operating voltage and current limits before integration.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-volume, cost-effective audio alert solution is required. Ensure the application supports external driving signals. Compare dimensions and mounting style against available PCB space. Verify that the 4000 Hz frequency aligns with the desired audible tone for the specific end-use environment.

Part Context

This component belongs to the PT series of piezoelectric transducers from Mallory Sonalert. These devices are designed for general-purpose audio indication tasks. The series offers various frequencies and sound pressure levels to suit different environmental noise requirements and mounting constraints.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other PT series parts such as PT-1240PQ or PT-2735FPQ for alternative frequencies or sound levels. Verify mechanical fit and electrical characteristics before substitution.
