The GJ-B4020 SMD passive buzzer is a compact, surface-mount device commonly used in electronic circuits to produce simple sound alerts. Unlike active buzzers, which generate sound with an internal oscillator, smd passive buzzers require an external signal, typically a square wave, to create sound. This allows for greater control over the sound’s pitch and frequency, making passive buzzers ideal for applications that need variable tones or custom alerts.
In terms of construction, the 4mm SMD passive buzzer is designed to be mounted directly onto a printed circuit board (PCB), making it suitable for small, space-constrained devices like mobile phones, wearable tech, and compact medical devices. Because of its small footprint and light weight, it’s a popular choice in industries where miniaturization is essential. The buzzer’s operational frequency range usually falls between 2-4 kHz, with a voltage requirement that varies by model. When driven by a microcontroller or other signal source, it can be used to produce beeps, alarms, and even simple melodies, adding functional audio cues to electronic designs.
