Resonators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official TGS documentation to ensure exact electrical parameter alignment. Confirm that the requested quantity matches the manufacturer's standard tape and reel packaging requirements. Cross-reference the date code and lot number to ensure compliance with current RoHS and REACH regulations. Validate the source channel to guarantee authenticity and prevent counterfeit components from entering the supply chain.

Resonators Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 4.258 MHz reference is required with minimal external circuitry. The built-in capacitor feature simplifies PCB layout by eliminating discrete load capacitors. Ensure the application environment remains within the -25°C to +85°C operational range. Consider the 4520 footprint constraints during mechanical design to ensure adequate clearance for the surface-mount package dimensions.

Resonators Part Context

This part belongs to the CRTR series of ceramic resonators manufactured by TGS. These devices are engineered as cost-effective alternatives to quartz crystals in applications where moderate frequency accuracy suffices. The series emphasizes compactness and reliability for mass-produced electronic goods requiring stable clock signals without the complexity of external oscillator circuits.

Resonators Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 4.258 MHz frequency, 15 pF capacitance, and 4520 package dimensions. Verify impedance compatibility at 60 Ohms to maintain circuit stability. Check if alternative manufacturers offer equivalent built-in capacitor configurations to ensure pin-out and thermal performance alignment.
