■ Introduction
FDK piezoceramic buzzers generate sound
through the bending vibrations of a thin metal
plate adhered to a piezoceramic disc. These
buzzers feature a low power consumption, a
safe, spark-free and non-contact structure, and
a small size and light weight for an easy
mounting to printed circuit boards. As a result,
an increasing number of piezoceramic buzzers
are now used to generate an artificial voice in
combination with voice synthesizing ICs. To
produce high-quality piezoceramic buzzers,
FDK has capitalized on many years of
piezoceramics production and outstanding
ceramic processing technologies and thin film
forming techniques. By adding a sophisticated
audio know-how to this manufacturing expertise,
FDK offers a large array of electronic tone
generating products, such as piezoceramic
diaphragms, sounders and buzzers, to meet
loud sound outputs, wide frequency ranges, and
many other requirements.

■ How to use piezoceramic buzzers
Piezoceramic diaphragms have a simple structure consisting of a
piezoceramic disc (piezoceramic element) adhered to a thin metal
(or plastic) plate. When a voltage is charged in the polarization
direction, the piezoceramic element contracts, and expands when
voltage is charged in the reverse direction. The quick contraction-
expansion motions of the piezoceramic element cause the elastic
disk underneath to vibrate and generate sound waves. (See Fig 1)
●How the piezoceramic diaphragm
generates sound
The piezoceramic diaphragm generates sound by either the external-
drive or the self-drive oscillation technique.
●How piezoceramic diaphragms are
supported
Piezoceramic diaphragms are placed in casings equipped with a
resonator, to obtain a required sound output. These diaphragms
are supported inside the casings by either the nodal-circular support
or peripheral support technique, and should be attached to the
support by an elastic adhesive such as a silicone agent.
●Design of the resonator
The piezoceramic diaphragm cannot produce a loud sound volume
only by a nodal-circular or peripheral support, and it is necessary
to tune the diaphragm to the air acoustic impedance, a job done by
the resonator (see Figure 4, cavity v). The resonator is designed
according to the equation below.

●Allows a virtually free and unrestricted vibration, and
thus closely reproduces the acoustic impedance
characteristics of the diaphragm.
●Provides a greater strength against mechanical stress
and more stable sound performance.
●Particularly suitable for a loud sound volume generation.
●Used to lower the resonance frequency of the
piezoceramic diaphragm by suppressing the peripheral
vibrations.
●May not have enough strength to resist the mechanical
stress at the support area.

●Booster coil
When the generated sound is less audible due to muffling by the casing, a booster coil is
used to amplify the sound (see the righthand figure for an example of a circuit with a booster
coil). Given the rise time and breaking time, t sec., of the switching of the transistor by a
voltage output from an LSI or other components, a counter voltage is generated in proportion
to the coil inductance L and 1/t. Since this counter voltage has a Vp-p several times greater
than the power supply voltage, a proportionally greater sound pressure is obtained. In
some cases, a capacitor and a diode are included in the circuit to absorb surge current
and thus protect the transistor.

●Conversion of sound pressure by distance
The sound pressure values shown in this catalog are not directly comparable
because of different measuring distances. Therefore, the following conversion
equation should be used for any comparison.
B = A + 20 log (La/Lb)
A: Sound pressure value at measuring distance of La
B: Sound pressure value at measuring distance of Lb
The relationship between an increase in measuring distance and a lowering of
sound pressure can be estimated by consulting the table below.

■Standard conditions for reliability tests
●High-temperature placement
The product is subjected to its upper limit operation temperature
(t2) for 500 hours.
●Low-temperature placement
The product is subjected to its lower limit operation temperature (t1)
for 500 hours.
●High-temperature and high-humidity
placement
The product is placed in a 60°C, 90—95% RH condition for 500
hours, during which the ON-OFF operation is checked every 30
minutes.
●Temperature cycle
One cycle consists of one hour of the t1routine and one hour of the
t2routine, and a total of 24 cycles are imposed.
●Vibration
The product is shaken for two hours in the same direction for a total
of six hours in three directions, at a frequency of 10-55-10 Hz, an
amplitude of 1.5 mm, and a sweep time of one minute.
●Shock
The product is dropped three times continuously in the same direction
under a gravitational force of 100G, for a total of nine drops in three
directions.
After the completion of each test, the product is left under room
temperature for 24 hours, and then undergoes standard tests; the
measured values, i.e., the value of oscillating frequency, current
consumption, or sound pressure, should not deviate by more than
±10% from the initial measurement values.
Caution
1. When mounting and handling
(1) To prevent malfunctions, install the piezoceramic buzzer or sounder so that it does not come into contact with other
componets on its side or top surface.
(2) Do not block the sound opening of the buzzer or sounder. Maintain a distance of at least 10mm between the sound opening
and any surrounding object. Also, do not cover the sound opening with an adhesive tape or the like. If the sound hole is
blocked, the buzzer or sounder may exhibit abnormal oscillation or stop functioning.
(3) The sound pressure of the buzzer or sounder may be measured after, but not before, it is installed in the host equipment.
When determining the installation position, make sure that adverse acoustic impedance does not exist in the installation
area. If acoustic impedance exists, the buzzer or sounder may exhibit abnormal oscillation or stop functioning.
(4) When securing the buzzer or sounder with screws, tighten the screws within the specified torque range. Use pan-headed
screws and washers so the buzzer or souder casing will not be deformed. A deformed casing may cause the buzzer or
the sounder to exhibit abnormal oscillation or stop functioning.
(5) When stripping a lead wire, do not cut the conductive line inside the coating, thereby ensuring the sound will be properly
generated. Use a stripper suitable for the diameter of the lead wire.
(6) Do not apply strong force to the pins before they are soldered. If the pins are bent or cut due to excessive force, the buzzer
or sounder may not generate sound.
(7) Do not use the wrong polarity. If the buzzer or sounder is improperly connected, the internal circuit may break down when
electricity is applied.
(8)Use the buzzer or sounder within the operation voltage range. A higher voltage may damage the diaphragm and other
componets or cause a fire. With a lower voltage, the sound may not be produced.
(9) Do not apply a DC current to the piezoceramic sounder. Otherwise, silver migration may occur, which will lower the
insulation resistance and cause the sounder to stop functioning.

(10) Use a low-impedance (not more than 100 Ω) power supply for the buzzer; otherwise, the buzzer may exhibit abnormal
oscillation or stop functioning.
(11) Do not interpose a resistance in series between the buzzer and the power supply, else the buzzer may exhibit abnormal
oscillation or stop functioning. If the interposition of a resistance is necessary to adjust the sound volume, insert a capacitor
of approximately 1 µF in parallel, not in series, as shown in Figure 1.
(12) Do not use the buzzer or sounder in a corrosive ambience, such as an ambience containing sulfur hydrides. Otherwise,
a normal sound may not be generated due to corrosion of the componetnts and diaphragm.
(13) When washing, be sure that a solvent or the vapor of a solvent does not infiltrate the buzzer or the sounder, thereby
preventing deterioration and damage by the solvent trapped inside the casing.
(14) Do not drop the buzzer or sounder. When subjected to a mechanical shock, the sounder may accumulate a high voltage
inside its piezoelectric elements, resulting in an electric shock to anyone who touches it. Also if such a sounder is connected
to a circuit, it may damage transistors and/or other electronic components.
Sounders which may have accidentally been subjected to a mechanical shock can be made safe by shorting them between
the poles. Then check the sound pressure, tone and appearance before use.
(15) Take special protective measures to prevent deterioration and breakdowns, whenever the buzzers or sounders are stored
in the following unfriendly areas:
qDusty places rMoist places
wHot or frosty places tHumid places
eAreas exposed to sunlight yAreas exposed to solvents or their vapor
(16) When operating the buzzer or sounder outdoors, protect it from moisture to ensure normal operation.
(17) When soldering on diaphragms, use a solder containing 2% silver and finish each sodering job within 1 second at a soldering
temperature of 300±10°C. If the solder does not contain silver, diaphragm performance may be adversely affected.
When soldering buzzers and sounders having lead pins, complete each soldering job manually within 3 seconds at a
sodering temperature of 300—320°C Moreover, in the case of the EE1707K, EE2108K, EB2505A and EB3105A models,
manually complete each soldering job within 5 seconds at 260±5°C.
(18) To protect an LSI from a counter voltage of the sounder, which may be caused by an external mechanical shock, connect
a Zener diode or varister in parallel to the LSI, as shown in Figure 2.
2. When storing
To prevent deterioration and/or breakdowns, do not store buzzers and sounders in the following places:
qDusty places tHumid places
wHot or frosty places yAreas exposed to solvents or their vapor
eAreas exposed to sunlight uAreas exposed to corrosive gases, such as H2S
rPlaces with leaking or infiltrating water
3. Other precautions
qTo maintain the initial performance and safety standard of the buzzer or sounder, do not disassemble, repair or
modify it.
