Resonators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix G55 against official Murata documentation to confirm the 39 pF load capacitance and 50 Ohm impedance parameters. Ensure the operating temperature range aligns with system requirements, as variations exist within the CERALOCK family. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number directly with the datasheet to avoid confusion with similar frequency variants.

Resonators Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 6.6 MHz reference is required without external tuning components. The ±0.2% tolerance offers higher accuracy than standard 0.5% variants. Consider the -20°C to +80°C temperature range limits for environmental compatibility. The SMD form factor simplifies automated assembly processes compared to through-hole alternatives.

Resonators Part Context

This resonator belongs to Murata's CERALOCK line, which specializes in monolithic ceramic devices with built-in capacitors. These components simplify circuit design by reducing part count and board space. The CSTCR series is widely used in digital systems requiring stable clock signals for synchronous operations.
