Multi-Application buzzer

The Sonitron Multi-Application buzzers are low cost commercial
grade components for large volume applications. The SMA series
are designed to meet a wide range of current consumption, voltage,
sound pressure, mounting methods, connection, dimensions and
packing requirements. The buzzers have a built-in oscillator
generating their working frequency. They produce a highly reliable
audible tone signal, giving either an extremely clear and penetrating
tone or a soft sound for non-aggressive signals.
ADVANTAGES & APPLICATIONS
ADVANTAGES :
• octagonal form
• models with different pin pitches
• light but solid state construction
• little power consumption, especially the
extra loud LC-versions
• important voltage range (1,5V to 24V)
• easy mountable
• small size for applications with limited
space
• SMD models with heat resistant label for
protection during automatic soldering,
packed in trays for automatic placing
APPLICATIONS :
• portable battery operating devices
• audible alarms
• gas detectors
• weighing and measuring equipment
• medical instrumentation
• timers
• control instrumentation and systems
• copiers
• automobiles
• games and toys
• computer peripherals
• cash registers
• etc.

A heat protection label in capton material is glued on the SMD model of the SMA buzzer.
This enables the user to pick up the buzzer by vacuum.
During the re-flow soldering process the heat shield label remains on the buzzer and must be
removed after soldering. These heat protection labels are standard for all SMD buzzers.
MODELS ON REQUEST
The SMA series can be delivered, upon special request, with the following protection :
• Wash tabs
A wash tab is glued on the sound emitting hole of the buzzer to protect it from water
penetrating into the hole of the cavity. The PCB at the back is also sealed with a silicon
film. To order this part, please add WASHTAB to the model number of the SMA series.
• Acryl coating
For applications in aggressive humid conditions, models containing a membrane with a
protective coating are available. The protective coating gives a complementary
assurance against smog. Add MC to the model number of the SMA series.
