5V Buzzer Passive 12mm


A passive buzzer is a sound-producing device that does not have a built-in oscillating circuit, which means it requires an external signal to produce sound. It operates by receiving an AC (alternating current) signal or a PWM (pulse-width modulation) signal from a microcontroller or other external circuit.

Key Features:

  1. No Built-in Oscillator: Passive buzzers need an external oscillating signal to produce sound, unlike active buzzers that have an internal oscillator.
  2. Operating Voltage: Typically operates at low DC voltages, commonly between 3V and 12V.
  3. Versatile Sound Generation: Capable of producing a wide range of frequencies and tones depending on the input signal.
  4. Flexible Control: Can be controlled to generate various sounds, melodies, and frequencies by modulating the input signal.

Technical Specifications:

  • Dimensions: Available in various sizes, often similar to active buzzers, such as 12mm or 9mm in diameter.
  • Sound Level: Typically produces sound levels in the range of 70 to 85 dB, but this can vary based on the input signal.
  • Frequency Range: Can generate a wide range of frequencies, typically between 1kHz and 5kHz, depending on the input.
  • Current Consumption: Usually low, around 10-30 mA, but can vary based on the input signal characteristics.

Applications:

  1. Electronic Projects: Widely used in Arduino and other microcontroller projects where specific tones or melodies are needed.
  2. Alarm Systems: Employed in security and alarm systems to produce various alert sounds.
  3. Home Appliances: Used in appliances like washing machines, microwaves, and other devices to provide alert or status sounds.
  4. Toys and Games: Incorporated into toys and electronic games to produce sound effects and music.

Advantages:

  • Sound Customization: Can produce a wide range of sounds and tones by varying the input signal, allowing for more complex sound generation.
  • Cost-Effective: Generally inexpensive and widely available.
  • Flexible Integration: Easily controlled by microcontrollers and other digital circuits to produce specific sound patterns.

Disadvantages:

  • Requires External Circuitry: Needs an external oscillating signal, which can make the circuit design more complex compared to using an active buzzer.
  • Dependent on Input Signal: Sound quality and volume can vary significantly based on the input signal's characteristics.

Example Connection:

To use a passive buzzer with a microcontroller like an Arduino:

  1. Connect the Positive Terminal: Connect the positive terminal of the passive buzzer to a PWM-capable digital pin on the microcontroller.
  2. Connect the Negative Terminal: Connect the negative terminal to the ground (GND) of the microcontroller.
  3. Generate Signal: Use the microcontroller to generate a PWM signal or oscillating signal to drive the buzzer.

// Example code for Arduino
int buzzerPin = 9; // PWM-capable pin

void setup() {
 pinMode(buzzerPin, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
 tone(buzzerPin, 1000); // Generate 1kHz tone
 delay(1000);           // Wait for 1 second
 noTone(buzzerPin);     // Stop the tone
 delay(1000);           // Wait for 1 second
}

This simple code generates a 1kHz tone for 1 second, followed by a 1-second silence, repeating indefinitely.
