## Description

This 8 MHz ceramic resonator is a breadboard-friendly oscillator with built-in load capacitors, making it a simple drop-in timing source for microcontrollers. With 0.5% accuracy, it's well suited for everyday electronics, UART baud-rate generation, and general microcontroller clocking. The 3-pin package has 0.1" pin spacing — connect the two outer pins to XTAL-in and XTAL-out (the package is symmetric), and the centre pin to ground. No external capacitors needed. Key Features 8 MHz Frequency – Common microcontroller clock speed Built-In Load Capacitors – No external caps required 0.5% Accuracy – Suitable for UART and general timing Breadboard Friendly – 0.1" (2.54 mm) pin spacing, 3-pin package Symmetric Package – Either outer pin can be XTAL-in or XTAL-out Also Available 8 MHz Crystal + 20 pF Capacitors – Higher precision (30 PPM) for USB timing and RF applications Tip: For ultra-high precision needs such as USB timing, long-term timekeeping, or RF/PLL/VCO driving, consider using a crystal oscillator instead. Package Contents 1× 8 MHz Ceramic Resonator
