  • Product colorGreen
  • Product weight0.75 oz
  • 26 mm driver fits compact DIY projects
  • 8 ohm impedance matches common amplifier outputs
  • 25 W nominal power handles typical signal levels
  • 5 W maximum rating provides headroom for peaks
  • 104 mm wire leads simplify breadboard connections

Compact 8 ohm speaker for DIY projects

This 26 mm diameter speaker has a green plastic shell and ships with 104 mm wire leads already attached. It is intended for hobbyists, students and makers who need a small driver for breadboard circuits, portable toys or educational kits such as the Make: Electronics series.

Nominal power limits at .25 watt

The driver handles .25 watt nominal input and .5 watt maximum before risk of damage, so it suits low-power battery circuits and simple amplifier modules. It cannot serve as a main audio driver for room-filling sound or any application that demands higher continuous output.

Lightweight build with pre-stripped leads

At .75 ounces the unit adds negligible mass to a handheld device, and the loose-packed wires let you solder or plug directly into a perfboard without stripping. The green shell is cosmetic only and offers no weather sealing, so the speaker should stay inside a protected enclosure.

Questions about this item

Which power rating should I design for — the .25 W nominal or the .5 W maximum?

Design around the .25 W nominal rating; the .5 W figure is a short-term peak, not continuous dissipation.

How loud is a 26 mm driver at .25 W in a typical enclosure?

A 26 mm cone driven at .25 W produces modest volume suitable for toys, games or simple DIY circuits, not room-filling sound.

What does the 8 ohm impedance mean for amplifier matching?

The 8 ohm load works with most small-class amplifiers and battery-powered circuits without special matching networks.
