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

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

After the product has been soldered and is pressed downward from the top, an incredibly large force will be applied to the inside of the product causing the fixing point of each pin to break. This results in the pins being pushed into the product.
When the pins are pushed through the holes in the board, if they touch the two electrodes on the piezoelectric diaphragm, a short circuit will occur, resulting in a malfunction or failure.

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.
