Both the SMA buzzers and the SMAT (Sonitron Multi-Application)
transducers are specially developed to meet a wide range of
requirements in sound pressure, mounting methods, connection
possibilities and dimensions. The transducers do not have a built-in
oscillator. The drive frequency must be generated with electronics
outside the transducer. Recommended drive circuits are described in
this catalogue. Our transducers produce a highly reliable audible tone
signal, giving either an extremely clear and penetrating tone or a soft
sound for non-aggressive signals. They are available in five sizes:
13mm, 17mm, 21mm, 24mm and 30mm.

DRIVE 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 to test the sound pressure level with the
transducer connected to the final drive circuit.

A heat protection label in capton material is glued on the SMD model of the SMA buzzer.
This enables the user to pick up the buzzer by vacuum.
During the reflow soldering process the heat shield label remains on the buzzer and must be
removed after soldering. These heat protection labels are standard for all SMD buzzers.
MODELS ON REQUEST
The SMA series can be delivered, upon special request, with the following protection :
•
Wash tabs
A wash tab is glued on the sound emitting hole of the buzzer to protect it from water
penetrating into the hole of the cavity. The PCB at the back is also sealed with a silicon
film. To order this part, please add WASHTAB to the model number of the SMA series.
Acryl coating
For applications in aggressive humid conditions, models containing a membrane with a
protective coating are available. The protective coating gives a complementary
assurance against smog. Add MC to the model number of the SMA series.
