AWCR-6.00MD

Overview

The AWCR-6.00MD is a ceramic resonator manufactured by Abracon LLC, designed for through-hole mounting. It operates at a nominal frequency of 6 MHz with a tolerance of ±0.5% and a stability of ±0.3%. The component supports a 5 VDC supply voltage and features an integrated load capacitance of 30 pF. It functions within an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. The package dimensions are 10 mm in length, 5 mm in width, and 8 mm in height, with a lead spacing of 2.5 mm.

Feature Summary

• Integrates built-in capacitors to simplify circuit design and reduce external component count.
• Provides stable frequency generation suitable for microcontroller clock applications.
• Supports standard through-hole assembly for robust mechanical connection.

Applications

• Microcontroller clock sources
• Embedded system timing references
• Consumer electronics control circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix and revision level against the official Abracon datasheet to ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints and electrical requirements. Confirm availability status as lifecycle changes may affect procurement channels. Cross-reference RoHS and REACH compliance documentation prior to integration into regulated products.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a cost-effective, low-profile timing solution is required for non-critical clock applications. Ensure the circuit design accommodates the inherent higher Q-factor and wider bandwidth compared to quartz crystals. Verify that the 30 pF internal capacitance matches the oscillator circuit requirements without needing external loading capacitors.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AWCR series of leaded ceramic resonators from Abracon LLC. These components are engineered as alternatives to quartz crystals where high precision is not mandatory. The series offers various frequencies between 2.0 MHz and 20.00 MHz, providing designers with flexible options for standard digital logic timing needs.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Abracon AWCR series parts with matching frequencies or compatible pinouts. Verify equivalent specifications from other manufacturers such as Nihon Dempa Kogyo (NDK) or Murata if sourcing from alternative suppliers. Ensure replacement parts maintain the same package dimensions and lead configuration.
