ZTTCE12.0MG-15P

Overview

The YIC ZTTCE12.0MG-15P is a surface-mount ceramic resonator operating at a fundamental frequency of 12 MHz. It features an integrated capacitor configuration with a capacitance value of 15 pF and a frequency tolerance of ±0.3%. The component is designed for operation within a temperature range of -25°C to +85°C. It utilizes a 3-SMD non-standard package format, suitable for automated assembly processes in compact electronic designs requiring precise timing references.

Feature Summary

• Integrates built-in capacitors to simplify circuit design
• Provides stable frequency generation via ceramic resonance technology
• Supports surface-mount installation for high-density PCB layouts

Applications

• Microcontroller clock sources
• Digital signal processing timing references
• Communication module synchronization

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '15P' corresponds to the required 15 pF internal capacitance and ±0.3% tolerance during procurement. Confirm that the 3-SMD non-standard footprint matches the target PCB land pattern dimensions. Ensure the -25°C to +85°C operating range meets the environmental requirements of the final application. Cross-reference the manufacturer's latest mechanical drawing to avoid assembly errors due to package variations.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a cost-effective alternative to quartz crystals is needed for moderate precision applications. The built-in capacitor feature reduces external component count compared to standard crystal circuits. Consider the ±0.3% tolerance if tight frequency accuracy is critical for the system's timing requirements. Evaluate the thermal stability limits against the expected operating environment to ensure reliable performance over the specified temperature range.

Part Context

This part belongs to the ZTTCE series of SMD ceramic resonators manufactured by YIC Corporation. The series is designed for general-purpose timing applications where size and cost are primary constraints. The 'ZTTC' prefix indicates the product family, while the numerical values denote frequency and electrical characteristics. YIC specializes in frequency control components, including crystals, oscillators, and GNSS modules.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 12 MHz ceramic resonators with similar 15 pF load capacitance and ±0.3% tolerance from manufacturers such as NDK or Murata. Verify mechanical compatibility with the 3-SMD non-standard package before substitution. Ensure the replacement part supports the same -25°C to +85°C temperature range. Check for equivalent drive level specifications to prevent over-driving the resonator.
