ABM8-20.000MHZ-12-D3Y-T

Crystals Overview

The Abracon ABM8-20.000MHZ-12-D3Y-T is an ultra-miniature parallel fundamental quartz crystal resonator designed for surface mount applications. It operates at a nominal frequency of 20 MHz with a standard frequency tolerance of ±25 ppm at +25°C and a load capacitance of 12 pF. The component features a hermetically sealed ceramic package measuring 3.2 mm in length, 2.5 mm in width, and 0.8 mm in height. It supports a wide operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C and utilizes a four-pin SMD configuration without leads.

Crystals Feature Summary

• Hermetically sealed ceramic package ensures high reliability and eliminates moisture sensitivity issues.
• Ultra-miniature physical profile allows integration into thin equipment and space-constrained designs.
• Supports both fundamental and third overtone operation modes for flexible circuit implementation.

Crystals Applications

• High-density consumer electronics requiring compact timing solutions
• Portable communication devices and mobile handsets
• Automotive infotainment and control modules

Crystals Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official Abracon documentation to confirm exact electrical parameters such as ESR and aging rates. Ensure the ordering part number matches the required load capacitance and frequency tolerance for your circuit design. Cross-reference the package dimensions to confirm compatibility with your PCB footprint and reflow soldering profiles.

Crystals Selection Notes

Select this component when a 20 MHz reference is required in a minimal footprint environment. The 12 pF load capacitance must match the oscillator circuit requirements. Consider the ±25 ppm initial tolerance and operating temperature stability limits. Verify that the 0.8 mm height fits within the mechanical constraints of the target assembly.

Crystals Part Context

This part belongs to the ABM8 series of ultra-miniature ceramic surface mount crystals from Abracon. The series is characterized by its seam-sealed construction and small form factor. It serves as a passive timing element in electronic circuits, providing stable frequency references for microcontrollers and communication interfaces.

Crystals Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other ABM8 series variants with matching 20 MHz frequency and 12 pF load capacitance, such as ABM8-20.000MHZ-12-B1G-T or ABM8-20.000MHZ-12-E2Y-T, provided their tolerance and temperature ranges meet system requirements.
