Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against manufacturer documentation to ensure correct tolerance and package variant. Confirm that the requested part matches the exact frequency and capacitance specifications required by the design. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to ensure access to the most current electrical characteristics and mechanical drawings before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a cost-effective timing solution with integrated load capacitors is required. Ensure the operating environment stays within the specified -25°C to +85°C range. Verify that the 12.5MHz frequency aligns with the target system clock requirements and that the 40 Ohm impedance is compatible with the driving circuit's output capabilities.

Part Context

This part belongs to the CRTE series of ceramic resonators manufactured by TGS. These components are designed as alternatives to quartz crystals, offering lower cost and easier soldering profiles while providing stable frequency generation for digital systems. The 3731 package size represents a standard small form factor for surface-mount technology applications.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 12.5MHz frequency, 10pF capacitance, and 3731 package dimensions. Verify impedance compatibility at 40 Ohms. Check manufacturer-specific tolerances and temperature ranges to ensure equivalent performance in the target application.
