SC616P Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SC616P is an internally driven piezo buzzer manufactured by Mallory Sonalert Products Inc., designed for panel mount applications with screw terminal and quick connect tab connections. This component operates across a 6–16V DC voltage range, producing a 2.9kHz tone at 68dB sound pressure level (measured at 6V, 61cm distance) with a current draw of 2–9mA. The SC616P is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent parts essential for ongoing production and maintenance applications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The SC616PR qualifies as a direct substitute for the SC616P based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters. Substitution is valid when the following criteria are met:

• Voltage range: 6–16V DC (identical)
• Frequency output: 2.9kHz (identical)
• Sound pressure level: 68dB @ 6V, 61cm (identical)
• Current consumption: 2–9mA (identical)
• Operating mode: Pulse, Fast (identical)
• Pulse duration: 2–10 PPS (identical)
• Mounting configuration: Panel Mount (identical)
• Termination style: Screw Terminal, Quick Connect Tab – 0.250" (6.35mm) (identical)
• Physical dimensions: 1.687" Dia (42.85mm), Height 1.399" (35.54mm) (identical)
• Operating temperature range: –30°C to 65°C (identical)
• Driver circuitry: Indicator, Internally Driven (identical)

All electrical and mechanical parameters align completely between the main part and substitute, confirming full interchangeability.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SC616PR is the appropriate selection for applications currently using or specifying the SC616P. The SC616PR maintains complete electrical and mechanical compatibility while offering the advantage of active product status and ROHS3 compliance. The SC616P, classified as obsolete, presents supply chain risk and regulatory compliance concerns for new designs and ongoing production. The SC616PR's active status ensures continued availability and support from Mallory Sonalert Products Inc.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SC616PR directly replace SC616P in existing designs? A: Yes. All electrical parameters (voltage range, frequency, current consumption, sound pressure level, operating mode, and pulse duration) and mechanical parameters (mounting type, termination style, physical dimensions, and operating temperature range) are identical between the two parts.

Q: What is the primary difference between SC616P and SC616PR? A: The SC616P is obsolete, while the SC616PR is an active product. Additionally, the SC616PR is ROHS3 compliant, whereas the SC616P is RoHS non-compliant.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between SC616P and SC616PR? A: The SC616P is supplied in standard packaging, while the SC616PR is supplied in bulk packaging. Both parts are functionally identical and mount identically in panel applications.

Q: What termination options are available on these parts? A: Both the SC616P and SC616PR feature screw terminal and quick connect tab connections with 0.250" (6.35mm) spacing, suitable for standard panel mount installations.

Q: What is the operating voltage range for these buzzers? A: Both parts operate across a 6–16V DC voltage range with a current draw of 2–9mA.
