AWSCR-8.00CELA-C10-T3

Overview

The Abracon AWSCR-8.00CELA-C10-T3 is a surface-mount ceramic resonator operating at a nominal frequency of 8 MHz. It features an integrated load capacitance of 10 pF and exhibits a frequency tolerance of ±0.5% with a stability of ±0.2%. The component has a series resistance of 40 Ohms and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. Its physical dimensions are 3.2 mm in length, 1.3 mm in width, and 1.0 mm in height, utilizing a three-terminal SMD package.

Feature Summary

• Integrates internal capacitors to simplify circuit design
• Provides stable frequency generation for microprocessor clocks
• Supports industrial-grade operation across wide temperature ranges

Applications

• Microprocessor clock circuits
• Remote control systems
• Mobile device timing applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix code (C10) to confirm the 10 pF load capacitance requirement matches the target application circuit. Ensure the ordering quantity aligns with standard reel packaging specifications. Confirm RoHS compliance status if required by project regulations. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with distributor listings to ensure authenticity and traceability before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, cost-effective timing solution is required for 8 MHz applications. The built-in capacitor eliminates external components, reducing board space. Verify that the ±0.5% tolerance meets system accuracy needs. Consider the 40 Ohm impedance for oscillator compatibility. Ensure the SMD footprint matches the PCB layout constraints for reliable soldering.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AWSCR-CELA series of industrial-grade ceramic resonators from Abracon. The series covers frequencies from 8 MHz to 50 MHz. These devices are designed as alternatives to quartz crystals where moderate stability suffices. The C10 suffix denotes the specific integrated capacitance value, distinguishing it from other variants like C33.

Replacement Considerations

The Murata CSTNE8M00G550000R0 is a documented parameter-equivalent substitute. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical characteristics before substitution. Ensure the replacement part meets the same 8 MHz frequency and 10 pF capacitance requirements.
