ZTA-8.00MT

Overview

The ECS ZTA-8.00MT is a ceramic resonator operating at a nominal frequency of 8 MHz. It features a tolerance of ±0.3% and an impedance of 25 Ohms. The component supports a supply voltage up to 100 V and operates within a temperature range of -20°C to +80°C. It utilizes a through-hole radial lead package with a 5 mm pitch, measuring 10 mm in length, 5 mm in width, and 10 mm in height.

Feature Summary

• Integrates built-in capacitors for simplified circuit design
• Provides stable oscillation via piezoelectric ceramic elements
• Supports through-hole mounting for robust mechanical attachment

Applications

• Microcontroller clock signal generation
• Simple oscillator circuits requiring cost-effective timing
• Consumer electronics with moderate frequency stability needs

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific lot date code and RoHS compliance status directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributor before procurement. Confirm that the through-hole footprint dimensions align precisely with the target PCB layout. Ensure the operating environment remains within the specified -20°C to +80°C range to maintain frequency accuracy. Check for any end-of-life notifications as availability may vary.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-cost, through-hole solution is required for 8 MHz applications. It is suitable for designs where moderate frequency stability is acceptable compared to quartz crystals. Consider the 25 Ohm impedance and built-in capacitance requirements of the driving circuitry. Evaluate thermal constraints to ensure operation stays within the -20°C to +80°C limit.

Part Context

This part belongs to the ZTA series of ceramic resonators from ECS Inc. These components are designed as alternatives to quartz crystals in applications prioritizing cost and simplicity over high precision. The series typically offers integrated capacitors to reduce external component count. This specific model represents a standard 8 MHz option within the radial lead product line.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 8 MHz ceramic resonators with similar through-hole packages and electrical characteristics. Verify equivalent impedance, tolerance, and temperature range when cross-referencing with other manufacturers' offerings.
