| Noob question: What is this component? |
| (1/1) |
| Prithul0218:
It looks like a capacitor. But 3 pins? I found it on a brushless motor ESC. |
| Benta:
Ceramic resonator for clock generation. |
| Doctorandus_P:
I'm not too sure about that component being a ceramic resonator. Those are usually a lot smaller. It could be an unusual ceramic low voltage capacitor, or 2 capacitors in 1 SMD package. If you follow the PCB traces you know for sure. If it is connected to Vcc it is a capacitor. If it is connected to the oscillator pins of the uC it is a ceramic resonator. |

Assuming 0.8mm pin spacing on the TQFP, it's 4 or 5mm long?)https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/abracon-llc/AWSCR-16.00MTD-T/535-9362-2-ND/ |
