The 5V Active Mini Buzzer is a compact self-driven piezoelectric buzzer that produces a sound when a 5V DC supply is applied. Unlike a passive buzzer, it has a built-in oscillator, so it does not require an external signal generator. It is widely used in Arduino projects, ESP32 applications, alarm systems, timers, security devices, and DIY electronics.
