ZTA-12.00MT

Overview

The ZTA-12.00MT is a ceramic resonator manufactured by ECS Inc. International, designed for through-hole mounting applications. It operates at a nominal frequency of 12.0000 MHz with a tolerance of ±0.3%. The component features an impedance of 25 Ohms and is housed in a Radial - 2 Lead package with a 5.00mm pitch. It supports an operating temperature range from -20°C to +80°C and complies with RoHS standards for lead-free construction.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes ceramic resonator technology for stable frequency generation
• Designed for reliable through-hole PCB integration
• Complies with RoHS environmental standards

Applications

• Microcontroller clock circuits
• Embedded system timing references
• Consumer electronics control boards

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix MT corresponds to the required lead configuration and packaging format. Confirm that the 25 Ohm impedance matches the oscillator circuit requirements. Ensure the operating temperature range meets the environmental conditions of the final assembly. Cross-reference the datasheet revision to confirm current specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a cost-effective alternative to quartz crystals is needed for moderate precision applications. The ±0.3% tolerance suits general-purpose timing where high stability is not critical. Consider the radial package dimensions for board layout constraints. Evaluate the impedance match with the driving circuit to ensure proper oscillation startup.

Part Context

This part belongs to the ZTA series of ceramic resonators from ECS Inc. International. These components are commonly used as low-cost frequency references in digital circuits. The series offers various frequency options while maintaining consistent physical dimensions and electrical characteristics suitable for mass-produced electronic devices.

Replacement Considerations

Substitutes must match the 12 MHz frequency, 25 Ohm impedance, and ±0.3% tolerance. Verify compatible package dimensions for direct replacement. Check manufacturer-specific parameter variations that may affect circuit performance.
