Adafruit Large Enclosed Piezo Element w/Wires

This large (30mm diameter) piezo element is enclosed with handy mounting holes for easy attachment. It adeptly converts vibration to voltage and vice versa, allowing for versatile applications. Use it as a buzzer for producing beeps, tones, and alerts, or as a sensor to detect rapid movements like knocks.

The piezo element is perfect for enhancing your musical projects; pair it with an Arduino for optimal sound exploration. Rated for up to 12Vpp but functional at 3 to 5V with square waves, it provides plenty of volume for various applications.

Equipped with thin wires, it's compatible with solderless breadboards, though they may require adaptation for direct Arduino socket connections. Explore creative possibilities with the Tone and Knock tutorials to maximize its potential under a drum pad or as a vibration-responsive tool.
