The electromagnetic buzzer consists of an oscillator, an electromagnetic coil, a magnet, a vibrating diaphragm, and a casing. After the power is turned on, the audio signal current generated by the oscillator passes through the electromagnetic coil, causing the electromagnetic coil to generate a magnetic field. The vibrating diaphragm periodically vibrates and sounds under the interaction between the electromagnetic coil and the magnet.

Electromagnetic buzzers are widely used as sounding devices in electronic products such as computers, printers, copiers, alarms, electronic toys, automotive electronic equipment, telephones, timers, etc.
