AWSCR-12.00CPLA-C10-T4

Overview

The AWSCR-12.00CPLA-C10-T4 is a ceramic resonator from Abracon LLC, operating at a nominal frequency of 12 MHz. It features a frequency tolerance of ±0.5% and a frequency stability of ±0.2%. The component includes a built-in load capacitance of 10 pF and exhibits a resonance impedance of 30 Ohms. Designed for surface mount applications, it operates within an extended temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. The device measures 6 mm in length, 3 mm in width, and 1.8 mm in height, conforming to industry standard footprints.

Feature Summary

• Integrated design with built-in capacitance options simplifies circuit layout
• Low resonance impedance reduces power consumption requirements
• Extended operating temperature range supports diverse environmental conditions

Applications

• Microcontroller clock generation circuits
• General purpose timing applications
• Consumer electronics requiring cost-effective frequency control

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official Abracon documentation to ensure accurate capacitance and tolerance specifications. Confirm that the surface mount package dimensions align with the target PCB footprint. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives if required by the end product regulations. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributors to avoid counterfeit components.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a stable 12 MHz reference is needed without external capacitors. Consider the ±0.5% tolerance for general timing rather than high-precision synchronization. Evaluate the 30 Ohm impedance against driver capability requirements. Compare against quartz crystals if higher stability or lower aging is necessary for the specific application environment.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AWSCR-CPLA series of ceramic resonators. These components serve as alternatives to quartz crystals where cost and simplicity are prioritized over extreme precision. The series offers various frequency and capacitance combinations to suit different microcontroller and oscillator circuit designs across consumer and industrial sectors.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Abracon AWSCR-12.00CPLA variants with matching electrical parameters. Verify equivalent parts from other manufacturers based on identical frequency, impedance, and package dimensions. Ensure replacement components meet the same thermal and reliability standards.
