Sound Components (Buzzer)Pin Type Piezoelectric Sounders: Precautions in the Event the Case and Rear Cover Come off after Mounting

Guideline concerning the mounted sounder

Applicable Series
PKM Series (PIN type)

If the casing and the rear cover are separated after the product has been mounted, do not attempt to re-assemble the product. Replace it with a new one.

Deformation and mis-positioning of the pins or the vibration plate may result in unstable sound or prevent the generation of any sound at all.

How the failure occurs

After mounting the piezoelectric sounder on the printed circuit board or the set, if you apply a large force exceeding the fitting force or the adhesive force to the side of the product, the casing or the vibration plate will separate from the rear cover. If you re-assembled the casing and the piezoelectric diaphragms, the exterior may in some cases appear to have returned to the condition prior to the separation of these parts.

However, it is likely that the electrical characteristics may fail to have been restored on account of deformation, mis-positioning of the pins or mis-positioning of the piezoelectric diaphragms during re-assembly.
