AWSCR-12.00CELA-C10-T3

Overview

The AWSCR-12.00CELA-C10-T3 is a surface-mount ceramic resonator from the Abracon AWSCR-CELA series, designed for precise clock generation in electronic circuits. It operates at a nominal frequency of 12 MHz with a tight tolerance of ±0.5% and stability of ±0.2%. The component features an integrated load capacitance of 10 pF and a resonance impedance of 40 Ohms. It supports a wide operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C and utilizes a standard 3-SMD non-standard footprint measuring 3.2mm x 1.3mm x 1.0mm.

Feature Summary

• Integrated built-in capacitance eliminates external components
• Low resonance impedance reduces circuit loading
• Extended industrial temperature range operation

Applications

• Microcontroller clock sources
• Real-time clock circuits
• Communication interface timing

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific suffix C10 matches the required 10 pF internal capacitance for your design. Confirm the T3 packaging designation aligns with your automated assembly equipment requirements. Ensure the RoHS compliance status meets your environmental regulations. Cross-reference the 3-SMD footprint dimensions against your PCB layout constraints before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a cost-effective alternative to crystal oscillators is needed without requiring external capacitors. The 12 MHz frequency suits general-purpose digital logic timing. The ±0.5% tolerance is suitable for applications not requiring high-precision synchronization. Consider the 40 Ohm impedance for driver compatibility.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AWSCR-CELA family of ceramic resonators, which are characterized by their compact surface-mount form factor and integrated capacitor options. These devices serve as economical timing solutions for consumer electronics and industrial control systems where moderate frequency accuracy is sufficient.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part number: CSTNE8M00G550000R0 (Murata Electronics). Verify electrical equivalence for 12 MHz operation and 10 pF capacitance before substitution.
