TXW-86-515-Q(F)

Overview

The TXW-86-515-Q(F) is an internally driven piezoelectric buzzer manufactured by Floyd Bell Inc. It operates within a DC voltage range of 5 to 30V and draws 10 to 50mA. The device emits a sound pressure level of 103dB at 15V, measured at a distance of 61cm. Its resonant frequency is 2.9kHz. The unit features a panel mount design with a diameter of 33.02mm and utilizes quick connect tabs with a width of 0.250 inches for electrical connection.

Feature Summary

• Internally driven piezoelectric mechanism for direct signal input
• High acoustic output capability suitable for loud alert environments
• Panel mount construction with standard quick connect tab terminals

Applications

• Industrial machinery alarm systems
• Commercial equipment status indicators
• Security system sirens

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation to ensure correct terminal configuration and mounting style compatibility with existing chassis designs. Confirm that the operating voltage range aligns with the target circuit supply rails. Ensure the required sound pressure level meets the environmental noise constraints of the installation site. Cross-reference the physical dimensions against available panel cutout specifications prior to procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high-volume audible signaling is required without external driver circuits. The wide voltage tolerance allows flexibility in power supply design. Consider the internal drive requirement to simplify PCB layout. Evaluate the acoustic performance against ambient noise levels to ensure adequate audibility. Verify mechanical fitment for the intended enclosure or panel application.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Turbo series of piezoelectric buzzers from Floyd Bell Inc. It is categorized under alarms, buzzers, and sirens. The product is currently active. It shares the same form factor as other models in the series but differs in electrical characteristics such as frequency and voltage range.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include TMC-86-530-Q and TMC-86-948-Q from the same manufacturer. These alternatives share similar mounting dimensions and internal drive capabilities. Verify frequency and voltage specifications before substitution to ensure functional equivalence.
