CSTCW24M5X53-R0

Resonators Overview

The Murata Electronics CSTCW24M5X53-R0 is a ceramic resonator operating at a nominal frequency of 24.5 MHz. It features a frequency tolerance of ±5% and a frequency stability of ±0.2%. The component includes an integrated load capacitance of 15 pF and exhibits a maximum impedance of 80 Ohms. Designed for surface-mount technology, it utilizes a 3-SMD non-standard package with dimensions of 2.50 mm in length, 2.00 mm in width, and 1.34 mm in height. The device supports an operating temperature range from -20°C to +80°C.

Resonators Feature Summary

• Integrates built-in capacitors to simplify circuit design by reducing external component count.
• Utilizes CERALOCK technology for enhanced vibration resistance compared to traditional crystal units.
• Offers high reliability through a monolithic ceramic structure suitable for mass production.

Resonators Applications

• Microcontroller clock sources
• Embedded system timing references
• Consumer electronics control circuits

Resonators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific frequency requirement of 24.5 MHz against application needs, as this differs from standard 24.0 MHz variants. Confirm that the ±5% tolerance aligns with system timing constraints. Ensure the 3-SMD footprint matches the PCB layout, noting the non-standard package dimensions. Check for obsolescence status or alternative sourcing options if long-term supply is required.

Resonators Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 24.5 MHz reference is necessary for microcontroller operation. Consider the ±5% tolerance limit for clock accuracy requirements. Evaluate the surface-mount package size constraints against available board space. Compare performance against standard 24.0 MHz resonators if slight frequency deviation is acceptable for cost or availability reasons.

Resonators Part Context

This part belongs to the Murata CERALOCK CSTCW series, which are small-capacity chip-type ceramic resonators. The series is designed for applications requiring compact size and low cost while maintaining adequate frequency stability. The CSTCW variant specifically targets surface-mount assembly processes for modern electronic manufacturing.
