A recreation of the IBM 4704 Keyboard buzzer board

This board has been reverse engineered from a buzzer board found in a genuine IBM 4704 Series Model F 107 keyboard.

The maximum dimensions of the buzzers that would be compatible with this board are: - BZ1 (Buzzer installed on the bottom of the PCB): L=30mm, W=30mm, H=16.5mm

- BZ2 (Buzzer installed on the top of the PCB): L=22mm, W=22mm, H=7mm

These dimensions work for 1.6mm thick PCB boards. While I don't recommend this, you could choose a less thick PCB when ordering the board from your PCB Fabrication Manufacturer. This would let you choose a bigger (height wise) buzzer to mount on the…
