Design and Construction
The speaker features a compact 40mm circular design with an approximately 5mm-thick profile, making it suitable for applications where available installation space is limited.
Its slim form factor allows it to be installed inside small electronic enclosures and portable devices without requiring significant internal space. The speaker can be mounted inside suitable housings or integrated into custom electronic assemblies according to the requirements of the project.
With an 8Ω impedance and 0.5W power rating, it is intended for low-power audio applications and should be connected to a compatible amplifier or audio-output circuit.
Working Principle
The speaker converts an electrical audio signal into audible sound through the movement of its internal diaphragm.
When an audio signal is supplied from a compatible amplifier or audio circuit, the speaker’s internal voice coil responds to the changing electrical signal. This produces mechanical movement of the diaphragm, which creates sound waves.
The speaker itself is a passive audio component and does not contain an integrated amplifier. Therefore, the connected audio source must provide a suitable amplified signal when required.
The 8Ω impedance allows the speaker to work with many small audio amplifier modules and compatible audio circuits, while the 0.5W rating indicates the recommended power-handling level of the speaker.

Product Disclaimer
Product images are shown for illustrative and representational purposes only. The actual speaker may vary slightly in colour, dimensions, terminal arrangement, diaphragm appearance, or overall construction depending on the manufacturing batch.
Arduino boards, Raspberry Pi boards, ESP32 boards, MP3 modules, amplifier modules, wires, enclosures, batteries, and other components shown in product images are not included unless specifically mentioned in the package contents.
The speaker is rated for 0.5W power. Do not exceed the recommended power rating, as excessive electrical power may cause distortion, overheating, or permanent damage.
The speaker is a passive component and does not include a built-in amplifier. Use a suitable amplifier or compatible amplified audio output for proper operation.
Actual volume and sound quality depend on the amplifier, audio source, enclosure design, input signal, mounting arrangement, and operating conditions.
The approximately 40mm diameter and 5mm thickness are nominal dimensions and may vary slightly depending on manufacturing tolerances.
