12*7.5mm active electromagnetic buzzer with oscillator circuit

Description:

A buzzer can be either AC or DC operated and can be mounted anywhere according to the need and purpose. When used as an alarm device, the buzzer is usually mounted on a control panel. The latest technological developments have led to using buzzers in sirens and signals for a wide range of applications.

Electromagnetic buzzers featuring high reliability consists mainly of products that support automotive applications. They are directly mountable to PCBs due to their pin terminals, and are available in small φ12 type and φ16 type designed for broadband applications.

There are two main types of buzzer: active and passive.

An active buzzer has a built-in oscillating source, so it will make sounds when electrified. But a passive buzzer does not have such source, so it will not tweet if DC signals are used; instead, you need to use square waves whose frequency is between 2K and 5K to drive it. The active buzzer is often more expensive than the passive one because of multiple built-in oscillating circuits.

Difference between piezo buzzer & magnetic buzzer:

We suggest inputting higher voltage for a piezo buzzer, normally over 9V to have enough SPL. On the other hand, a magnetic buzzer can be driven to generate 85 dB by only 1.5V, but the consumption of the current will be much higher than Piezo one.
To compare the two types of buzzers, the magnetic type can have lower frequency response with the same dimension.
Though being limited by the dimension, the SPL of a magnetic buzzer can only reach to 90 dB. The piezo buzzer can achieve the SPL of 120 dB in some spec., some larger size can also easily reach to 100 dB.
