What is BS EN 61837-1 - Surface-mounted piezoelectric device (SMD) outlines and terminal lead connections about?
BS EN 61837-1 is the first part of a multi-series standard used for Surface mounted piezoelectric devices.
BS EN 61837-1 deal with standard outlines and terminal lead connections as they apply to SMDs for frequency control and selection in plastic moulded enclosures and is based on IEC 61240.
Who is BS EN 61837-1 - Surface-mounted piezoelectric device (SMD) outlines and terminal lead connections for?
BS EN 61837-1 on Surface mounted piezoelectric devices for frequency control and selection. Standard outlines and terminal lead connections are useful for:
- Manufacturer of electronic components
- Manufacturer of automotive parts
- Manufacturer of circuits
- Electronic engineer
Why should you use BS EN 61837-1 - Surface-mounted piezoelectric device (SMD) outlines and terminal lead connections?
Piezoelectric devices are used as actuators in a variety of situations. This is because they can convert electrical energy into mechanical energy through the inverse piezoelectric effect.
BS EN 61837-1 helps in making enclosures by using plastic moulded materials with the terminal lead base. This is useful in identifying the configuration symbols. The dimensions specified are useful in designing surface-mounted piezoelectric devices. Lead connection helps in selecting and controlling the frequencies of these devices.
By applying BS EN 61837-1, you can classify the types of designation and helps in understanding the designation of the plastic moulded enclosure outlines. These enclosure outlines help in ensuring the specification sheets which result in manufacturing good quality surface mounted piezoelectric devices.
What’s changed since the last update?
BS EN 61837-1:2012 supersedes BS EN 61837-1:1999. BS EN 61837-1:2012 includes some technical changes with respect to BS EN 61837-1:1999. These include:
- One enclosure type (SIP-L5/01) has been deleted;
- Configuration symbol of enclosures is currently consolidated into one as DCC (dual chip carrier).
