Crystals Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix R40 against official Abracon documentation to confirm exact electrical parameters and packaging specifications. Ensure the selected variant matches the required load capacitance and stability for the target circuit design before procurement.

Crystals Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring a compact, hermetically sealed 20 MHz reference source. Consider the 10 pF load capacitance requirement for oscillator circuit compatibility. Verify that the -20 °C to +70 °C operating range meets the environmental constraints of the final application.

Crystals Part Context

This part belongs to the Abracon ABM8 series of ultra-miniature ceramic crystals. The series is characterized by its small 3225 footprint and hermetic sealing, which eliminates moisture sensitivity issues common in non-sealed packages. It serves as a fundamental frequency reference for various digital and analog circuits.

Crystals Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Abracon ABM8 variants with matching 20 MHz frequency, 10 pF load capacitance, and similar tolerance levels. Cross-manufacturer replacements must match the 3.2x2.5x0.8mm package dimensions and hermetic sealing requirements.
