WSP-3605-16Y

Overview

The WSP-3605-16Y is a general-purpose dynamic speaker manufactured by Soberton Inc. It features a round shape with a top port location and solder pad termination. The unit has a 16-ohm impedance and operates within a frequency range of 600 Hz to 5 kHz, with a self-resonant frequency of 600 Hz. It delivers an 88 dBA sound pressure level when tested at 1W/10cm. The rated power is 1 W, with a maximum power handling capacity of 1.5 W. The diaphragm material is polyethylene terephthalate (PET), and the component carries an IP65 ingress protection rating.

Feature Summary

• IP65 water-resistant construction for environmental durability
• Top port acoustic design for directed sound projection
• Solder pad mounting interface for direct PCB integration

Applications

• Waterproof electronic enclosures requiring audio output
• General-purpose consumer electronics devices
• Industrial control panels needing durable speakers

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for exact mechanical tolerances and thermal limits before finalizing designs. Confirm that the 16-ohm impedance matches the amplifier output requirements to ensure optimal power transfer and prevent distortion. Ensure the soldering process adheres to recommended temperature profiles to protect the internal components and maintain the IP65 seal integrity during assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a compact, waterproof speaker is required for applications demanding resistance to dust and low-pressure water jets. The 16-ohm impedance suits circuits designed for higher voltage or lower current drive stages compared to standard 8-ohm alternatives. Consider the 88 dBA sensitivity for environments where moderate volume levels are sufficient without excessive amplification.

Part Context

This component belongs to the WSP series from Soberton Inc., which focuses on robust, general-purpose audio transducers. The series typically includes various impedances and sizes to accommodate different enclosure constraints and electrical driving conditions. The WSP-3605-16Y specifically addresses needs for sealed or semi-sealed environments due to its protective rating.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 16-ohm impedance, 36mm diameter, and IP65 rating. Verify that alternative models support the same 1W rated power and 88 dBA sensitivity to maintain consistent performance characteristics in the existing circuit design.
