• Consumer electronics control boards

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix and packaging configuration against official Abracon documentation prior to ordering. Confirm that the selected variant matches the required frequency tolerance and impedance specifications for the target application. Ensure compliance with RoHS3 and REACH regulations as stated in the manufacturer's environmental declarations. Cross-reference distributor part numbers to avoid discrepancies in lead times or stock availability.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a cost-effective alternative to quartz crystals is required for moderate precision timing needs. The integrated capacitor design eliminates the need for external loading capacitors, reducing bill-of-materials complexity. Consider the 30 Ohm impedance and 30 pF load capacitance to ensure proper oscillator circuit matching. Evaluate the 1512 package dimensions against available board space constraints during the layout phase.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Abracon AWSZT-CV series of ceramic resonators, which are engineered for high-volume consumer and industrial electronics. The series offers a balance between performance and cost, serving as a reliable timing solution where extreme stability is not critical. It complements Abracon's broader portfolio of crystal oscillators and resonators, providing designers with flexible options for various frequency and package requirements.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other 8 MHz ceramic resonators with similar 30 pF load capacitance and 1512 package dimensions. Verify impedance characteristics and temperature stability before swapping manufacturers. Consult official cross-reference guides for pin-compatible alternatives that meet identical electrical specifications.
