WorldWide WCE has a long history with piezoelectric components, and while piezoelectricity has been a big part of our past, this technology is also a big part of our future.
We started our innovation journey in 1976 with the industry’s first PCB-mounted piezo ceramic audio indicator. When these terms are combined, a PCB-mounted piezo ceramic audio indicator refers to a component that is designed to be mounted directly on a printed circuit board and is capable of generating audio signals using the piezoelectric properties of ceramics. This component is often used to provide audio feedback or alerts in various electronic devices, ranging from household appliances to industrial equipment and consumer electronics.
Since then, piezoelectrics have been a large part of the product portfolio we offer at WorldWide WCE, and we are committed to expanding and integrating piezoelectric solutions with audio transducers, flexures, microphones, ultrasonics, speakers, haptics product line to meet various application needs.
WorldWide WCE offers not only buzzers but also piezoelectric-based sensors and actuators. For example, you can find our simple self-driving Piezo Indicators or our externally driven Piezo Transducers among our digital product catalogue.
And we continue innovating!
Our new cutting-edge applications, including piezo haptics and lead-free piezo flexors are in development and have been released throughout the year. Lead-free applications and options continue to meet important compliance regulations as they change to eliminate options that include lead. Our engineers and product development teams have been working to stay ahead of this curve by developing solutions that do not compromise quality as technology and restrictions change. This work will enable our customers to continue to stay ahead of regulations.
