AWSCR-8.00CELA-C33-T3

Overview

The AWSCR-8.00CELA-C33-T3 is an 8 MHz ceramic resonator from the Abracon AWSCR-CELA series, designed for surface-mount applications. It features a built-in load capacitance of 33 pF and a maximum impedance of 40 Ohms. The component offers a frequency tolerance of ±0.5% and a stability of ±0.2%. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and is housed in a compact 3-SMD non-standard package measuring 3.20mm x 1.30mm x 1.00mm.

Feature Summary

• Integrates internal capacitors to simplify circuit design
• Provides stable oscillation with high frequency accuracy
• Supports automated surface-mount assembly processes

Applications

• Microcontroller clock generation
• Real-time timing circuits
• Embedded system synchronization

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix C33 confirms the 33 pF internal capacitance value required by the target application circuit. Ensure the selected packaging format aligns with available pick-and-place equipment capabilities. Confirm that the operating temperature range meets the environmental requirements of the final product deployment scenario.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a cost-effective, space-saving timing solution is needed without external discrete capacitors. The 3-pin SMD form factor reduces board area compared to traditional through-hole alternatives. Verify that the 40 Ohm impedance matches the oscillator circuit drive level specifications to ensure reliable startup and operation.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AWSCR-CELA series of ceramic resonators, which are designed as drop-in replacements for quartz crystals in many applications. The series utilizes piezoelectric ceramic materials to provide frequency stability at a lower cost point than equivalent crystal units while maintaining small physical dimensions suitable for modern electronics.
