PBRC-3.68HR

Resonators Overview

The PBRC-3.68HR is a surface-mount ceramic resonator manufactured by KYOCERA AVX, operating at a nominal frequency of 3.68 MHz. It features an integrated 30 pF capacitor to simplify circuit design and reduce component count. The device offers a frequency tolerance of ±0.5% and a frequency stability of ±0.3%. It is rated for operation within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. The component utilizes a non-standard 3-SMD package with a height of 2 mm, suitable for automated assembly processes.

Resonators Feature Summary

• Integrates a 30 pF capacitor directly into the resonator structure to minimize external components.
• Provides high frequency accuracy with a tight tolerance of ±0.5%.
• Designed for surface-mount technology (SMT) to facilitate efficient PCB assembly.

Resonators Applications

• Microcontroller clock sources
• Digital signal processing circuits
• Consumer electronics timing applications

Resonators Procurement Notes

Verify current lifecycle status as the part may be classified as obsolete or not recommended for new designs. Confirm availability through authorized distributors or secondary market suppliers. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints and reflow soldering profiles specified in the official datasheet. Check for RoHS compliance documentation if required for specific regulatory standards.

Resonators Selection Notes

Select this component when a cost-effective, compact timing solution with built-in capacitance is required. Consider the ±0.5% tolerance for applications needing precise frequency control. Evaluate the -40°C to +85°C operating range against environmental conditions. Compare against crystal oscillators if lower phase jitter or higher stability is necessary for the specific application.
