ABM8N-24.0000MHZ-18-B1U-T3

Crystals Overview

The ABM8N-24.0000MHZ-18-B1U-T3 is a fundamental mode quartz crystal resonator manufactured by Abracon LLC, designed for surface-mount applications. It operates at a nominal frequency of 24 MHz with a load capacitance of 18 pF and an equivalent series resistance (ESR) of 50 Ohms. The component offers a frequency tolerance of ±10 ppm and stability of ±10 ppm within the operating temperature range of -20°C to +70°C. Housed in a compact 4-SMD, no-lead package measuring 3.20mm x 2.50mm with a maximum height of 0.80mm, it supports standard SMT assembly processes.

Crystals Feature Summary

• Fundamental mode operation ensures stable oscillation characteristics for precise timing requirements.
• Compact 3.2mm x 2.5mm surface-mount footprint facilitates automated placement on high-density PCBs.
• Glass-sealed construction provides environmental protection against moisture and contaminants.
• Compliant with RoHS3 standards for lead-free manufacturing and environmental safety.

Crystals Applications

• Microcontroller clock sources requiring precise timing synchronization
• Communication modules utilizing 24 MHz reference frequencies
• Consumer electronics with space-constrained surface-mount designs
• Industrial control systems operating within standard commercial temperature ranges

Crystals Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix B1U-T3 corresponds to the required tape-and-reel packaging configuration and lead finish before ordering. Confirm that the 18pF load capacitance matches the oscillator circuit design specifications to ensure accurate frequency performance. Check for any recent Product Change Notifications (PCNs) related to the ABM8N series that might affect material composition or manufacturing location. Ensure compatibility with standard reflow soldering profiles defined for small outline packages.

Crystals Selection Notes

Select this component when a 24 MHz fundamental mode crystal is required with ±10 ppm initial tolerance and stability across a -20°C to +70°C range. The 50 Ohm ESR value must align with the host oscillator's drive level requirements to prevent over-driving the crystal. Consider the 3.2x2.5mm package size if board real estate is limited but larger packages are not feasible. Verify that the application does not require extended industrial temperature ratings, which would necessitate alternative series variants.

Crystals Part Context

This part belongs to the ABM8N series of glass-sealed surface-mount crystals from Abracon. The series is characterized by its small form factor and reliability for general-purpose timing applications. Unlike the ABM8G series which may offer wider temperature ranges, the ABM8N typically targets commercial grade environments. The 'N' designation often indicates specific material or process variations within the broader ABM8 family, distinguishing it from other sub-series like ABM8W.

Crystals Replacement Considerations

• ABM8-24.000MHZ-B1G-T: Same frequency and package but verify if ESR and stability specs match exactly.
• ABM8N-24.0000MHZ-18-B1U-T3: Direct replacement; check for identical suffixes to ensure packaging consistency.

Crystals FAQ
