Procurement Notes

Verify the specific power rating (500 mW vs 800 mW) required for your application against the latest official Taoglas datasheet, as sources vary. Confirm the lead time of approximately 16 weeks with authorized distributors before finalizing procurement plans. Ensure compatibility with frame mounting requirements during the integration phase.

Selection Notes

Select this component when space constraints require a 17 mm form factor combined with integrated antenna capabilities. The 8-ohm impedance suits standard audio amplifier outputs. Consider the 96 dBA sensitivity for environments requiring clear audio without excessive power consumption. Verify thermal limits up to +80°C match the operating environment.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Taoglas SPKM series of miniature speakers, which are engineered for IoT and smart home applications. The series emphasizes compact dimensions and multifunctional designs, such as integrating antenna properties directly into the transducer assembly to save board space in dense electronic layouts.

Replacement Considerations
