BS EN 61837-4:2015

What is BS EN 61837-4 - Surface mounted piezoelectric devices about?  

BS EN 61837-4 is the fourth part of a multi-series standard used for Surface mounted piezoelectric devices. BS EN 61837-4 specifies the dimensions which are useful in designing and manufacturing good quality piezoelectric devices which are used for selecting and controlling the frequencies of these devices.  

BS EN 61837-4 specifies the outline drawings and terminal lead connections for surface piezoelectric devices with hybrid enclosure outlines and is based on IEC 61240:2012 which standardized layout rules of outline drawings of surface-mounted device. 

Who is BS EN 61837-4 - Surface mounted piezoelectric devices for? 

BS EN 61837-4 on Surface mounted piezoelectric devices for frequency control and selection is useful for: 

• Manufacturer of electronic devices  
• Manufacturer of Surface-mounted piezoelectric devices                
• Manufacturer of circuit boards 
• Electronic engineer 

Why should you use BS EN 61837-4 - Surface mounted piezoelectric devices?  

A piezoelectric sensor is a device used for converting electrical energy into mechanical energy with the help of the inverse piezoelectric effect. Hence these surface mounted piezoelectric devices are useful in selecting and controlling the frequencies of these devices.  

BS EN 61837-4 specifies the dimensions which are useful in designing and constructing these surface mounting piezoelectric devices. With the help of these dimensions, you can choose the scales for designing these devices. By using  BS EN 61837-4, you can identify the materials which are to be used while producing these devices.  

By applying BS EN 61837-4, you can design, manufacture, and assemble better quality Surface mounted piezoelectric devices.  

What’s changed since the last update?  

BS EN 61837-4:2015 supersedes BS EN 61837-4:2004. BS EN 61837-4:2015 includes some technical changes with respect to BS EN 61837-4:2004. These include: 

• Outline drawing is defined as one set of drawings consisting of four views, which are the view from above, the front view, the view from the right, and the view from below, instead of one set consisting of three views as provided in the previous edition. 
• The configurations of the enclosures were revised as shown in Table 1.
