Product Description

Piezo Ceramic Element Sounder Sensor

Versatile Piezoelectric Disc for Sound Generation and Vibration Detection

The piezo ceramic element is a versatile electromechanical transducer that converts electrical energy into mechanical vibration (sound) and vice versa, making it ideal for both generating audio alerts and sensing knocks or vibrations.[citation:7][citation:11]

DualFunction Component Works as a buzzer for sound generation or as a knock/vibration sensor
Simple 2Wire Interface Easy to integrate with microcontrollers using a voltage divider circuit
Wide operating voltage up to 12Vp-p, with resonating frequency typically 1.3kHz to 4.6kHz depending on model [citation:7][citation:5]
Use with Arduino Tone library for generating beeps and melodies
Requires an external oscillating circuit to produce sound does not selfoscillate like a buzzer [citation:3]
