4704 buzzer is an open source PCB design by Razerban, published on GitHub under the GPL-3.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 71.5 × 44 mm, with 11 components from 9 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the SN74123N. By type, the board carries 3 capacitors, 3 resistors, 2 buzzers, 1 IC and 1 connector.
It belongs with the keyboards designs in this gallery.
From the project
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…
