ZTA-2.44MG

Overview

The ZTA-2.44MG is a ceramic resonator manufactured by ECS Inc., designed for through-hole mounting applications. It operates at a nominal frequency of 2.44 MHz with a tolerance of ±0.3%. The component features an impedance of 80 Ohms and functions within an extended temperature range of -20°C to +80°C. This series offers wide frequency range capabilities suitable for various electronic circuits requiring stable timing references.

Feature Summary

• Through-hole package design for standard PCB assembly
• Extended temperature operation from -20°C to +80°C
• High stability with ±0.3% frequency tolerance

Applications

• Microcontroller clock generation
• Timing reference for digital logic circuits
• Consumer electronics control systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'MG' against official ECS documentation to confirm lead-free status and RoHS compliance details. Ensure the ordering part number matches the required 2.44 MHz frequency and 80 Ohm impedance specifications before procurement. Cross-reference datasheet revisions to confirm current manufacturing status.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a cost-effective alternative to crystals is needed with moderate stability requirements. The 80 Ohm impedance differs from common 30 Ohm variants, necessitating circuit compatibility checks. Verify that the ±0.3% tolerance meets the system's timing accuracy constraints compared to wider tolerance options.

Part Context

The ZTA-2.44MG belongs to the ZTA Series of ceramic resonators from ECS Inc. This series provides a wide frequency range and extended temperature capabilities. Ceramic resonators generally offer better performance than LC tanks while being more economical than quartz crystals for many applications.

Replacement Considerations

Substitutes must match the 2.44 MHz frequency, 80 Ohm impedance, and through-hole SIP-2 package. Verify equivalent tolerance (±0.3%) and temperature range (-20°C to +80°C). Check manufacturer-specific pin dimensions for mechanical fit.
