Resonators Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number matches the required frequency tolerance and load capacitance specifications for your design. Confirm compliance with RoHS and REACH standards if environmental regulations apply. Ensure the PCB footprint aligns with the 3.2mm x 1.3mm SMD dimensions. Check datasheet revisions for any updates regarding recommended soldering profiles or storage conditions prior to assembly.

Resonators Selection Notes

Select this component when a cost-effective, compact solution is needed for microprocessor clocking without external capacitors. Consider the ±0.5% initial tolerance and ±0.2% stability against system timing requirements. Evaluate the -40°C to +125°C operating range against environmental conditions. Compare physical dimensions against available board space constraints relative to other series options.

Resonators Part Context

This component belongs to the CERALOCK series of ceramic resonators, which integrate the resonator element and internal capacitors into a single package. The CSTCE series specifically denotes a three-terminal surface-mount type designed for high reliability and ease of use in consumer electronics and office automation applications where size and weight are critical factors.

Resonators Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with CSTNE12M5G55Z000R0 for similar frequency but different package dimensions. Verify compatibility with CSTCR5M12G55-R0, noting differences in length and load capacitance. Ensure substitute parts maintain the same three-terminal configuration and mounting style to avoid PCB redesign.
