AWSCR-10.00CRLA-C15-T3

Overview

The AWSCR-10.00CRLA-C15-T3 is a surface-mount ceramic resonator manufactured by Abracon LLC, operating at a nominal frequency of 10 MHz. It features an integrated load capacitance of 15 pF and exhibits a frequency stability of ±0.2% and a tolerance of ±0.5%. The device has a series resistance of 40 Ohms and is designed for operation within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. It utilizes a 3-SMD non-standard package with dimensions of 6.00mm in length, 3.00mm in width, and 1.50mm in height.

Feature Summary

• Integrates internal capacitors to simplify circuit design and reduce component count.
• Provides high frequency stability suitable for precise timing applications.
• Supports surface-mount technology for automated assembly processes.

Applications

• Microcontroller clock sources
• Communication interface timing circuits
• General-purpose digital logic timing

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against the manufacturer datasheet to ensure correct frequency, capacitance, and tolerance specifications. Confirm that the 3-SMD package dimensions align with the PCB footprint requirements. Check RoHS compliance status if restricted substances are a concern for the target market. Ensure the operating temperature range meets the environmental conditions of the final application.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a cost-effective alternative to quartz crystals is required for moderate precision applications. The built-in capacitor eliminates the need for external load capacitors, reducing board space. Consider the 40 Ohm impedance when designing the oscillator circuit to ensure proper startup and stable oscillation. Verify that the ±0.2% stability is sufficient for the system timing requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AWSCR-CRLA series of ceramic resonators from Abracon. These components are designed as drop-in replacements for certain crystal configurations where extreme stability is not critical. The series offers various frequencies and package sizes to accommodate different design constraints while maintaining consistent performance characteristics across the product line.

Replacement Considerations

The CSTNE8M00G550000R0 from Murata Electronics is listed as a parameter-equivalent substitute. Verify that the electrical parameters, particularly frequency and capacitance, match the original design requirements before substitution.
