CSTCE12M0G55A-R0

Resonators Overview

The CSTCE12M0G55A-R0 is a ceramic resonator from the CERALOCK series, manufactured by Murata Electronics. It operates at a nominal frequency of 12 MHz with an initial tolerance of ±0.5% and frequency stability of ±0.2%. The component features a built-in load capacitance of 33 pF and a maximum impedance of 30 Ohms. Designed for surface mount technology (SMD), it utilizes a 3-SMD non-standard package measuring 3.20 mm in length, 1.30 mm in width, and 0.79 mm in height. It supports a wide operating temperature range from -40°C to +125°C.
