Description
The 5V Passive Buzzer is an electronic component used for producing sound or audio alerts in various electronic circuits and systems. Unlike an active buzzer, which has a built-in oscillator, the passive buzzer requires an external signal (such as a square wave) to produce sound. This makes it ideal for applications where control over the frequency and tone of the sound is required.
Key Features:
- 5V Operating Voltage: The buzzer is designed to operate with a 5V DC power supply, making it suitable for most microcontroller projects, including those with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and other 5V-powered systems.
- Passive Operation: Requires an external frequency signal (square wave) to generate sound. This provides more flexibility to control the tone and frequency of the sound produced.
- Compact and Easy to Use: Small in size, easy to integrate into various electronic projects, and provides a simple way to add audible feedback or alerts.
- Low Power Consumption: Typically consumes very little current, making it suitable for battery-powered projects and low-power applications.
- Wide Frequency Range: Capable of producing a variety of tones based on the input signal’s frequency. This makes it useful for generating different types of sounds, such as beeps, alarms, or musical notes.
Specifications:
- Operating Voltage: 5V DC
- Sound Output: Can produce tones within a wide frequency range (usually from 2kHz to 5kHz)
- Current Consumption: Typically around 10-20mA when active
- Size: Small, typically around 12mm-25mm in diameter
- Material: Durable plastic casing
- Operating Temperature: -20°C to 85°C
- Type: Passive (requires external frequency signal)
- Mounting Type: Typically through-hole or surface mount
Applications:
- Arduino Projects: Ideal for generating simple beeps, alerts, or sounds in Arduino-based projects.
- Alarms and Notifications: Used in security systems, alarm clocks, and other applications where an audible warning or signal is needed.
- Toys and Gadgets: Common in toys, games, and educational kits for generating sounds to enhance user interaction.
- Status Indicators: Can be used in electronic devices to give feedback to users, such as indicating the completion of a task or a warning condition.
- Sound Effects in Projects: Used in DIY electronics projects that require sound output, like generating musical notes or sound effects.
Package Includes:
- 1 x 5V Passive Buzzer (through-hole or surface mount, depending on the variant)
