ZTT-12.00MT

Overview

The ZTT-12.00MT is a ceramic resonator manufactured by ECS Inc., designed for through-hole mounting in SIP-3 packages. It operates at a nominal frequency of 12 MHz with an integrated load capacitance of 30 pF. The component features a tolerance of ±0.3% and an impedance of 25 Ohms. It functions within a temperature range of -20°C to 80°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrates built-in capacitors to simplify circuit design
• Provides stable oscillation via ceramic resonance technology
• Supports through-hole assembly for robust mechanical connection

Applications

• Microcontroller clock generation circuits
• Embedded system timing references
• Consumer electronics oscillator modules

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to ensure compatibility with required tolerance and package specifications. Confirm that the SIP-3 footprint matches the target PCB layout. Check current lifecycle status as availability may vary due to obsolescence notices. Validate manufacturer documentation against the exact part number before integration.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 12 MHz reference is required with minimal external components. Consider the ±0.3% tolerance for applications needing tight frequency accuracy. Ensure the operating environment stays within the specified -20°C to 80°C range. Evaluate the 25 Ohm impedance against the driving circuit capabilities.

Part Context

This part belongs to the ZTT series of ceramic resonators from ECS Inc. It serves as a cost-effective alternative to quartz crystals in applications where high precision is not critical. The series offers various frequencies and tolerances for general-purpose timing needs.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 12 MHz ceramic resonators with similar SIP-3 packaging and 30 pF load capacitance. Verify impedance and tolerance specifications match the original design requirements. Cross-reference with equivalent parts from other manufacturers if ECS supply is limited.
