SparkFun – Piezo Speaker – PC Mount 12mm 2.048kHz

SparkFun: COM-07950

Description: This is a small 12mm round speaker that operates around the audible 2kHz range. You can use these speakers to create simple music or user interfaces.

Each speaker is PTH solderable and requires an operating voltage of 3.5-5V with a mean current of 35mA max. These speakers also have a typical sound output of 95 dBA and a coil resistance of 42 ±6.3 ohms. Many people call this a buzzer but it is not. The piezo element requires a square wave (common from most microcontrollers) to produce a tone.
