AWCR-8.00MD

Overview

The AWCR-8.00MD is a ceramic resonator from Abracon LLC with an 8 MHz nominal frequency and ±0.3% stability. It features built-in capacitors of 30 pF and an impedance of 30 Ohms. The component operates within a temperature range of -25°C to 85°C and utilizes a radial 3-lead package with a 2.50mm pitch for through-hole mounting.

Feature Summary

• Integrates built-in capacitors to simplify circuit design
• Provides stable oscillation at 8 MHz fundamental frequency
• Supports through-hole mounting via radial lead configuration

Applications

• Microcontroller clock generation
• General-purpose oscillator circuits
• Embedded system timing references

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'MD' corresponds to the through-hole radial package variant, as other suffixes may indicate surface-mount or different electrical characteristics. Confirm that the 30 pF internal capacitance matches the load requirements of the target application circuit before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a cost-effective, through-hole solution is required for 8 MHz applications. Ensure the operating environment stays within the specified -25°C to 85°C range. Compare against surface-mount alternatives if board space constraints dictate a smaller footprint.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AWCR series of ceramic resonators designed for general-purpose timing applications. It serves as a lower-cost alternative to quartz crystals in systems where moderate frequency stability is sufficient. The series offers various frequencies and packaging options to suit diverse electronic designs.
