Abstract: An electroacoustic transducer especially for use in intrusion alarm systems and comprising a metal diaphragm having a thickness-poled piezoelectric ceramic disk bonded to the center thereof and having an electrode surface in contact with the metal diaphragm. An integral tab outwardly extends from the diaphragm to provide one electrical terminal, while the other electrical terminal is provided by a flexible electrical ribbon connection to the other electrode of the ceramic disk. An acoustically massive clamp ring attached to the periphery of the diaphragm defines the area of vibration. The vibrating assembly is mounted within a plastic housing having a chamber configured and dimensioned to improve the electroacoustic performance of the transducer structure. Various pattern directors can be employed with the transducer to achieve shaping of the pattern.
