Sound Components (Buzzer)Piezoelectric Buzzers: Precautions When Correcting Products That Have Been Soldered in a Tilted State

Guidelines concerning the mounted buzzer

Applicable Series
PKB24SPCH3601-B0

If the product is tilted when soldered, melt the solder again and correct the tilt. (Do not press down on the product from the top.)

If the pins touch two locations on the piezoelectric diaphragm, a short may occur, preventing any sound from being emitted.

How the failure occurs

The image below depicts the piezoelectric buzzer's structure.

  • The casing contains the piezoelectric diaphragm and an oscillator circuit.
  • Solder the external pins for driving the oscillator circuit to the circuit board, and then withdraw the circuit board from the rear cover.

Due to the structure, if a large enough force is applied to the external pins, they may be pushed into the product. This is liable to cause a failure.

The external pins are touching the piezoelectric diaphragm. Short circuit
The piezoelectric diaphragm is deformed by the external pins. Poor contact between the electrode of the piezoelectric diaphragm and the internal pins.
The change in the electrical characteristics will cause the emitted sound to change.
The circuit board land pattern becomes damaged when the pins are removed from the circuit board. Open circuit

Condition of the pins that have been pushed into the product

For reference

In order to prevent a defect due to the pins being pushed in, be careful not to apply a force exceeding the value shown below, for each product. Note that if the temperature of the product is high, there is a possibility of a defect occurring even under a force that is weaker than the following value.

Maximum applied push-in force (In the case where the temperature is 25°C)
