Sound Generator Kits & Sirens

Southern China is now the major centre for making chip-on-board (COB) electronics. And DIY Electronics is the only supplier that we know of that is supplying these items to the public in general & the hobbyist in particular. We have put together a range of these items. If you are interested to buy these or similar items in bulk then please email us with your requirements.

COB means that the very small die form of the IC is bonded directly onto a PCB and the copper tracks come out from it. A blob of black epoxy covers & protects it. The benefit is a saving in space. We are buying these COB's on larger than usual PCB 16mm x 29mm, so that the student can solder the external components to it with a minimum amount of difficulty. They were reviewed in Electronics Australia, April, 1995, p72.

SG1 through 14 are COB Kits which give a sound of some sort. An 'M' suffix denotes that the Kit comes with a mother-board to support the COB PCB and components. You can view a scan of the motherboards below.

K15 Kit 15 6-to-12V Piezo Screamer

Powerful 6V to 12V piezo alarm. Uses 556, auto-transformer and two piezo alarm elements. Circuit will deliver over 110dB at 1 meter. Uses sweep circuit so there is no need to trim the circuit to match the cavity resonant frequency. We supply a plastic box with two piezo elements (35mm diameter) already mounted in their own resonant cavity. This is part of a commercial alarm unit but it uses our (better!) drive circuit. Ideal alarm unit for Kit 53 (Codepad/Burglar Alarm).
