## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=CE08263:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/CE08263:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

The **Makerverse™ PAM8302 2.5W Mono Amplifier** is a simple audio amplifier with low noise and a tiny footprint. Combine it with our favourite speaker to bring sound to your projects - We feature these parts in our [Makerverse Audio Kit](https://core-electronics.com.au/makerverse-audio-kit.html). Check out the [guide](https://core-electronics.com.au/guides/makerverse/makerverse-audio-kit-guide/) if you want to see (and hear) them in action!

The PAM8302A is a class D amplifier module rated to 2.5W (Vcc = 5.5V driving a 4 Ohm speaker). It is designed for operation between 1.8V and 5.5V and can drive 4 Ohm or 8 Ohm speakers.

The amp features a volume control potentiometer and screw terminal for easy speaker connection. At maximum volume, the module has a fixed voltage gain of 23.5 dB (15 times).

An output filter is included to allow for use with long (>20cm) speaker wires without causing excessive radio interference.
