RDTE-2.700-8080-NS1

Overview

The RDTE-2.700-8080-NS1 is an externally driven magnetic transducer manufactured by Raltron Electronics. It operates at a nominal voltage of 3.6 V with a current consumption of 100 mA. The device generates an acoustic signal at a frequency of 2.7 kHz, achieving a sound pressure level of 75 dB when measured at 3.6 V. The component utilizes a surface mount package with dimensions of approximately 0.3 x 0.3 inches (or 7.62 x 7.62 mm), featuring solder pads for board attachment.

Feature Summary

• Externally driven magnetic transducer design
• Surface mount solder pad configuration
• Fixed frequency acoustic output

Applications

• Electronic alarm systems
• Audible notification devices
• Consumer electronics indicators

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific operating voltage and current requirements against your circuit design before procurement. Confirm that the surface mount footprint matches your PCB layout. Ensure the driving circuit can supply the required 100 mA to maintain the specified 75 dB sound pressure level at 3.6 V. Check for any mechanical clearance constraints related to the transducer's physical dimensions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed-frequency audible alert is required in space-constrained designs. The external drive requirement means it must be paired with an appropriate oscillator or driver circuit. Consider the 3.6 V nominal voltage as a constraint for low-voltage battery-powered applications. Evaluate the 75 dB output against ambient noise levels to ensure adequate audibility.

Part Context

This part belongs to Raltron Electronics' line of electromagnetic transducers designed for compact electronic assemblies. These components are typically used where simple, reliable audible signaling is needed without integrated oscillators. The series offers various frequencies and voltages to suit different application requirements.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 2.7 kHz frequency, 3.6 V operation, and similar physical footprint. Verify that alternative parts support external driving and provide comparable acoustic output levels.
