TXC-V86-515-S

Overview

The TXC-V86-515-S is an internally driven piezoelectric alarm buzzer from the Floyd Bell Turbo series. It operates on a DC voltage range of 9 to 48V and produces an extra loud continuous sound level of 103 dBA at 2 feet when powered at 15V. The unit features a panel mount design with integrated volume control and utilizes screw terminal or quick connect tab connections. Its operating frequency is approximately 2.9 kHz, providing high-intensity audible signaling for industrial applications.

Feature Summary

• Internally driven piezoelectric technology for direct DC connection
• Integrated rotary volume control for adjustable output levels
• Extra loud continuous operation mode for high visibility alerts
• Panel and PCB mounting options available

Applications

• Industrial machinery safety alarms
• HVAC system fault indicators
• Commercial appliance status alerts
• Automotive and marine warning systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix (S vs Q) as it may indicate differences in connector type or included accessories such as volume controls. Confirm that the required mounting style matches the physical dimensions provided in the official datasheet. Ensure the supply voltage falls within the 9-48V DC range to prevent damage. Check for RoHS compliance requirements if applicable to your assembly process.

Selection Notes

Select this model when high sound pressure levels are critical for alerting personnel in noisy environments. The internal driver simplifies circuit design by eliminating the need for external oscillators. Consider the mounting constraints, as the unit requires specific panel cutouts. Compare against other Turbo series variants if different voltage ranges or connector types are preferred for the specific application environment.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Floyd Bell Turbo series of piezoelectric buzzers, known for high output levels. It is distinct from lower-decibel models and non-continuous duty cycles. The series emphasizes reliability and ease of integration into various electronic systems requiring robust audible warnings without complex driving circuits.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Floyd Bell Turbo series models like the TMC-86-948-Q, though electrical specifications and mounting details must be verified. Cross-brand replacements require matching the 2.9 kHz frequency, 103 dB SPL, and 9-48V DC input range. Ensure any alternative supports the same panel mount configuration and connector type.
