TOM-3046L-R

Overview

The TOM-3046L-R is an analog electret condenser microphone manufactured by PUI Audio, Inc. It features an omnidirectional polar pattern and operates within a frequency response range of 30 Hz to 15 kHz. The device requires a supply voltage between 2 VDC and 10 VDC. Its sensitivity is specified at -46dB ±3dB. The component utilizes solder pads for electrical connection and is designed for general audio input applications.

Feature Summary

• Omnidirectional acoustic pickup pattern
• Electret condenser transducer technology
• Analog signal output via solder pads

Applications

• Consumer electronics audio input
• Industrial control panel voice communication
• Medical equipment user interface

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number suffix against official PUI Audio documentation to confirm polarity and pinout configuration. Ensure that the operating voltage supplied to the circuit remains within the 2V to 10V DC range specified in the datasheet. Confirm mechanical mounting requirements and soldering thermal profiles prior to integration into the final assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this component when an omnidirectional response is required for ambient sound capture. The fixed sensitivity and voltage range suit standard low-power analog audio circuits. Consider the physical dimensions and pad layout during PCB design to ensure compatibility with the intended enclosure and manufacturing process.
