ZTT-6.00MT

Overview

The ZTT-6.00MT is a ceramic resonator manufactured by ECS Inc., designed for through-hole mounting applications. It operates at a nominal frequency of 6 MHz and features an integrated capacitor configuration with a built-in capacitance of 30 pF. The component exhibits a tight frequency tolerance of ±0.3% and possesses an impedance of 30 Ohms. It is engineered to function reliably within an operating temperature range of -20°C to +80°C. The physical dimensions are specified as 10.00mm in length and 5.00mm in width, utilizing a radial three-lead package with a 2.50mm pitch.

Feature Summary

• Integrates internal capacitors to simplify circuit design and reduce component count
• Provides high frequency stability with ±0.3% tolerance for precise timing requirements
• Utilizes a robust ceramic construction suitable for standard through-hole assembly processes

Applications

• Microcontroller clock generation circuits
• Simple oscillator designs requiring cost-effective timing solutions
• Consumer electronics with limited board space constraints

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation (MT) against official ECS Inc. documentation to confirm lead-free compliance and packaging specifications. Ensure that the required frequency tolerance and temperature range align with the target application's environmental conditions before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-cost alternative to quartz crystals is required for fixed-frequency applications. Consider the inherent higher phase noise compared to quartz crystals and ensure the load capacitance matches the microcontroller or oscillator circuit requirements to maintain accurate timing performance.

Part Context

This part belongs to the ZTT series of ceramic resonators from ECS Inc., which focuses on providing economical timing solutions for mass-produced electronic devices. The series is characterized by its compact size and integrated capacitor design, distinguishing it from discrete crystal oscillators.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 6 MHz ceramic resonators with similar 30 pF integrated capacitance and ±0.3% tolerance. Verify pin compatibility and thermal characteristics when cross-referencing with generic equivalents.
