Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'T3' or 'T4' against the datasheet to confirm reel quantity and tape specifications. Ensure the selected variant matches the required load capacitance and impedance parameters for the target application circuit. Confirm RoHS compliance status prior to final procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a cost-effective, compact timing solution is needed for 8 MHz applications. Consider the 22 pF built-in capacitance requirement for matching the host device's external capacitance needs. Evaluate the 30 Ohm impedance against the driving capability of the connected logic gates.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AWSCR series of ceramic resonators from Abracon LLC. These components serve as alternatives to quartz crystals, offering easier soldering characteristics and lower cost while maintaining adequate frequency stability for non-critical timing applications in consumer electronics.
