SMA & SMAT Series

The Sonitron Multi-Application buzzers (SMA) and transducers (SMAT) are specifically developed to meet a wide range of requirements in sound pressure, dimensions, and mounting methods. These series produce highly reliable audible signals, giving either an extremely clear penetrating tone or a soft sound output. The buzzers and transducers are low-cost commercial-grade components for large volume applications.

Advantages SMA 

  • Octagonal form
  • Models with different pin pitches 
  • Light but solid-state construction
  • Little power consumption, especially the extra loud LC-versions
  • Wide voltage range ( 1.5V to 24V) 
  • Easy mountable
  • SMA-13 and SMA-17 for applications with limited space 
  • SMD models with heat resistant label for protection during automatic soldering 
  • Automatic Pick & place

Drive Circuits ( typical circuits)

 

When the transducers are used in a drive circuit at one single frequency, the designer should bear in mind that the precision of the frequency, as mentioned on the graph ” sound pressure vs. Frequency” is +/- 15%. We, therefore, recommend testing the sound pressure level with the transducer connected to the final drive circuit.
