SMT Dynamic Speaker used in Glucose Meters

SMT Dynamic Speakers that ISL manufactured to prevent a Fortune 500 customer from having to do a full redesign of their product.

Overview

ISL was approached by a Fortune 500 company who had a particular SMT dynamic speaker go end-of-life from the original manufacturer, NXP. This specific SMT dynamic speaker is used inside glucose meters worldwide.

Challenge

ISL had to offer a replacement SMT dynamic speaker specific to the customer’s application. The ISL speaker had to fit the same foot print and offer the same acoustical performance as the incumbent speaker. If ISL was unable to offer a drop in replacement, the customer would have to do a full product redesign.

Solution

Through extensive collaboration with the customer, ISL and its team of engineers developed, manufactured and supplied an SMT dynamic speaker that performed above the customer’s expectations. Our continuous source manufacturing service saved our customer from the extensive costs and time of doing a full product redesign.

Conclusion

ISL delivered a replacement SMT dynamic speaker that matched the original footprint and exceeded the acoustical performance of the discontinued NXP component. Through close collaboration and a continuous source manufacturing approach, the new speaker allowed this Fortune 500 customer to keep the existing glucose meter design in production without the cost and delay of a full redesign. The successful replacement demonstrates how ISL can step in when a critical component goes end of life and protect a global product line from disruption.
