Mallory Sonalert Products Inc.
Buzzers Indicator, Internally Driven Piezo 35mA 150Hz ~ 4kHz 85dB @ 3.3V, 10cm Through Hole PC Pins
Active

Overview

The SBT5GLPC is a medical-grade, internally driven piezo buzzer designed to meet specific low-priority alarm requirements. It features a repeating pattern of two beeps every 20 to 30 seconds and operates within a voltage range of 3.3V to 5V. As an internally driven indicator, it simplifies system design by generating its own acoustic frequency between 150Hz and 4kHz without requiring an external PWM source.

Why Choose This Part

This component is UL and cUL approved, ensuring compliance for regulated medical and industrial safety applications. Its integrated circuitry eliminates the need for external drive components, and the through-hole PC pin termination allows for secure, vibration-resistant mounting on a PCB.

Applications

Medical Device Low-Priority Alarms
Designed to provide the specific repeating beep cadence required for secondary medical equipment notifications.
Status Indicators
Used in industrial control panels where periodic audible feedback is needed to indicate a specific operating state.
Battery-Powered Monitoring
Ideal for portable monitoring systems due to its typical current draw of less than 35mA.

Getting Started

To use this buzzer, simply apply a DC voltage between 3.3V and 5.5V across the two PC pins; the internal circuitry will automatically generate the 85dB alarm cadence. No external oscillator or software-driven PWM is required, making it easy to trigger directly from a microcontroller GPIO through a simple transistor switch or logic gate.
