PBRC-7.37AR

Resonators Overview

The PBRC-7.37AR is a ceramic chip resonator from the KYOCERA AVX PBRC-AR series, operating at a nominal frequency of 7.37 MHz. It utilizes surface-mount technology (SMD/SMT) with radial termination for board integration. The component features a frequency tolerance of ±0.5% and a frequency stability of 0.3%. Designed for robust performance, it operates within a temperature range of -20°C to +85°C. The physical package dimensions are 7.4 mm in length, 3.4 mm in width, and 2 mm in height. It requires a load capacitance of 10 pF and functions optimally at a supply voltage of 5 V.

Resonators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix requirements against the official datasheet to ensure correct frequency and tolerance specifications. Confirm that the selected variant matches the required load capacitance and operating temperature range for the target application environment. Cross-reference the manufacturer's latest documentation to validate current production status and availability constraints before finalizing procurement plans.

Resonators Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, cost-effective ceramic resonator is required for standard digital logic applications. Ensure the design accommodates the specified 10 pF load capacitance to maintain accuracy. Compare against crystal oscillators if higher precision or lower phase jitter is necessary, as ceramic resonators offer a balance of size and performance for general-purpose timing needs.

Resonators Part Context

This part belongs to the PBRC-AR series of ceramic resonators, designed for high-volume consumer and industrial electronics. The series emphasizes small form factors suitable for space-constrained printed circuit boards. KYOCERA AVX manufactures these components using advanced ceramic processing techniques to ensure consistent electrical performance across varying environmental conditions.

Resonators Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other PBRC-7.37 variants with matching frequency and tolerance, such as PBRC-7.37HR, provided the package and pinout compatibility are verified. Alternative ceramic resonators from different manufacturers must match the 7.37 MHz frequency, 10 pF load capacitance, and 7.4x3.4 mm footprint.
