ABM8AAIG-16.000MHZ-VR-T3

Crystals Overview

The ABM8AAIG-16.000MHZ-VR-T3 is a ceramic crystal oscillator manufactured by Abracon LLC, designed for surface-mount applications. It operates at a fundamental frequency of 16 MHz with a load capacitance of 8 pF and an equivalent series resistance (ESR) of 50 Ohms. The component features a frequency tolerance of ±50 ppm and a stability range of ±150 ppm across an extended temperature range of -40°C to +150°C. It is housed in a compact 2-SMD package measuring 3.2 mm x 2.5 mm and holds AEC-Q200 automotive qualification.

Crystals Feature Summary

• AEC-Q200 qualified for automotive reliability standards
• Extended high-temperature operation up to 150°C
• Compact 3.2mm x 2.5mm surface-mount footprint

Crystals Applications

• Automotive electronic systems requiring high thermal stability
• Industrial control circuits operating in extreme environments
• High-reliability communication modules

Crystals Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'VR' against official Abracon documentation to confirm the intended temperature range and stability specifications. Ensure the ordering part number matches the required 8pF load capacitance and 50 Ohm ESR parameters. Cross-reference the AEC-Q200 certification status if automotive compliance is mandatory for the target application.

Crystals Selection Notes

Select this component when an 8pF load capacitance and 50 Ohm ESR are required for a 16 MHz signal. The wide operating temperature range makes it suitable for harsh environments where standard industrial crystals may fail. Confirm that the PCB layout supports the 3.2mm x 2.5mm SMD package dimensions and that the circuit design accommodates the specified frequency tolerances.

Crystals Part Context

This part belongs to the ABM8AIG series of automotive-grade ceramic crystals from Abracon. The series is characterized by its ability to withstand high temperatures and rigorous automotive testing protocols. The 'VR' suffix typically denotes specific environmental or performance characteristics within this product line, distinguishing it from other variants like the V2R.
