AWCR-12.00RS

Overview

The AWCR-12.00RS is a low-profile, leaded industrial-grade ceramic resonator manufactured by Abracon LLC. It operates at a standard frequency of 12 MHz with a built-in capacitance of 15 pF and a tolerance of ±0.5%. The component features a series resistance of 25 Ohms and is designed for through-hole mounting. It supports an operating temperature range from -25°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrates built-in capacitors to simplify circuit design
• Low-profile leaded package suitable for industrial applications
• High frequency tolerance for precise timing control

Applications

• Microcontroller clock generation
• Industrial control systems
• Consumer electronics timing circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix RS against the official Abracon datasheet to confirm lead configuration and packaging type. Ensure the required built-in capacitance matches the system design requirements. Confirm that the through-hole mounting style aligns with the PCB layout constraints. Check for any obsolete status or end-of-life notifications before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a cost-effective, high-tolerance timing solution is needed for through-hole assemblies. The integrated capacitor reduces external component count compared to discrete crystal setups. Consider the 25 Ohm series resistance for driver capability matching. Verify thermal stability requirements fall within the specified -25°C to 85°C range.

Part Context

This part belongs to Abracon's AWCR series of ceramic resonators. These components are designed as alternatives to quartz crystals in applications where moderate frequency stability is sufficient. The series offers various frequencies and capacitance options tailored for general-purpose timing needs in consumer and industrial electronics.

Replacement Considerations

Consult Abracon's official cross-reference guide for direct substitutes. Verify equivalent parameters such as frequency, capacitance, and series resistance. Ensure mechanical dimensions and pinout compatibility for existing footprints.
