TRANSDUCER – 21140

A transducer is a device that converts one form of energy or disturbance into another. In electronics, transducers convert alternating or direct electric current into sound, light, heat, radio waves, or other forms. Transducers also convert sound, light, heat, radio waves, or other energy forms into alternating or direct electric current.

Common examples of electrical and electronic transducers include buzzers, speakers, microphones, piezoelectric crystals, light-emitting and infrared-emitting diodes, photocells, radio antennas, and many other devices.
