Questions relating to designing PCBs

Okay so it a noobie problem.
:doh: I used the sparkfun library part for the resonator 8Mhz SMD
and did not check the footprint closely enough before I ordered my boards.

Now I have boards but cannot find a chip. The library info refers to XTAL-08895 but I can't find
anything that fits that number or uses the small footprint.


HELP

If you searched the part number (CSTCE10M0G55) found in the library, you will see that Sparkfun only made this footprint for 10MHz or 16Mhz resonators. But, when you see the resonator on Mouser, for example, the dimensions are 1.3mm x 3.2mm. So you need to find a SMT 8MHZ resonator that has the size of 1.3mm x 3.2mm. There is only one that pops up on Mouser. http://it.mouser.com/ProductDetail/AVX/ ... 0J8w%3d%3d

Here's the search with Digikey (Lot more to choose from) http://www.digikey.com/product-search/e ... ageSize=25
