SPKM.289.8.A

Overview

The SPKM.289.8.A is a miniature oval speaker manufactured by Taoglas Limited, designed for applications requiring clear audio output in compact form factors. It features an 8 Ohm impedance and handles 500 mW RMS power with a peak capacity of 1W. The unit delivers a sound pressure level of 88 dBA at 1 kHz. Its frequency response spans from 10 Hz to 11 kHz according to distributor data, while manufacturer specifications cite a range of 100 Hz to 10 kHz. The physical dimensions are 28 mm x 9 mm x 3.8 mm.

Feature Summary

• Compact rectangular design suitable for space-constrained devices
• High sensitivity output for clear audio reproduction
• Robust power handling capabilities relative to size

Applications

• Portable electronic devices
• Industrial control panels
• Medical equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific frequency response range required for your application, as sources differ between 10-11 kHz and 100-10 Hz. Confirm mechanical mounting requirements against the 28x9mm footprint. Ensure the 8 Ohm impedance matches your amplifier output stage. Check for RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to your manufacturing process.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile oval speaker is necessary. The 8 Ohm impedance is standard for many consumer electronics drivers. Consider the 88 dBA sensitivity for volume requirements. Evaluate the 500 mW RMS rating against your system's power delivery capabilities to ensure reliable operation without distortion or damage.

Part Context

This part belongs to the SPKM series of miniature speakers from Taoglas Limited. These units are engineered for general-purpose audio tasks where size is a critical constraint. The series offers various impedance and power options to suit different circuit designs.

Replacement Considerations

No direct public substitute part numbers are confirmed for this specific model. When replacing, match the 8 Ohm impedance, 28x9mm dimensions, and 500 mW power rating. Verify that the replacement maintains similar sensitivity and frequency response characteristics.
