SC616MN

Overview

The SC616MN is a piezoelectric audio indicator from the Mallory Sonalert SC series, designed for panel mount installation. It operates on a DC voltage range of 6V to 16V with a current draw of 22mA. The device produces a continuous tone at a frequency between 2400Hz and 3400Hz, delivering a sound pressure level of 80dBA. It features screw terminals for connection and has physical dimensions of 1.69 inches in length and width, with a height of 1.41 inches.

Feature Summary

• Piezoelectric transducer technology for reliable acoustic output
• Internal driver circuitry simplifies integration into control systems
• Screw terminal connections ensure secure electrical attachment
• Panel mount design facilitates industrial enclosure integration

Applications

• Industrial machinery status indication
• Control panel alarm signaling
• Equipment fault detection alerts
• Process monitoring visual-auditory warnings

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific frequency tolerance within the 2400Hz to 3400Hz range required by your application, as this parameter can vary across manufacturing batches or specific sub-models. Confirm that the 80dBA sound pressure level meets the ambient noise requirements of the intended installation environment. Ensure the screw terminal type matches the wiring harness specifications used in the assembly process.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a moderate volume audible alert is sufficient for industrial environments. The wide operating voltage range allows compatibility with various DC power supplies commonly found in control cabinets. Consider the physical dimensions to ensure adequate space within the panel cutout. Compare against higher decibel models if louder alarms are necessary for noisy settings.

Part Context

This part belongs to the SC series of industrial audio indicators manufactured by Mallory Sonalert Products Inc. The series is known for robust construction and consistent performance in demanding environments. The SC616MN represents a standard configuration within this lineage, offering a balance of acoustic output and power consumption suitable for general-purpose industrial signaling tasks.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other Mallory Sonalert SC series models with similar voltage and mounting characteristics. Verify that any replacement maintains the same terminal type and physical footprint to avoid redesigning the panel interface. Cross-reference with LSC series variants if LED integration is also required.
