ABM3-24.000MHZ-B2-T – ABRACON CORPORATION

Overview

The ABRACON CORPORATION ABM3-24.000MHZ-B2-T is a high-precision miniature crystal oscillator designed to provide a stable 24 MHz reference frequency. Its critical operational characteristic is the tight frequency tolerance of ±20 PPM, ensuring minimal drift crucial for digital signal processing and communication systems. A common design caveat with such miniature SMD crystals is their susceptibility to mechanical stress and board flexure, which can degrade frequency stability; therefore, careful PCB layout and mounting are paramount to achieving the specified 50 PPM frequency stability over its operating range.
