CSTLS16M0X51-A0

Resonators Overview

The Murata CSTLS16M0X51-A0 is a ceramic resonator operating at 16 MHz with ±0.5% frequency tolerance and ±0.2% stability. It features a built-in capacitor of 5 pF, designed for third harmonic oscillation mode. The component utilizes a three-lead radial package with a 2.50 mm pitch, suitable for through-hole mounting. Operating temperatures range from -20°C to +80°C, with dimensions of approximately 5.5 mm length, 3.5 mm width, and 6.5 mm height.

Resonators Feature Summary

• Integrates a 5 pF load capacitor within the resonator structure
• Optimized for microcomputer time base oscillator applications
• Supports third harmonic oscillation mode operation

Resonators Applications

Resonators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'A0' against official Murata documentation to confirm the 5 pF internal capacitance configuration. Ensure the radial lead pitch matches the target PCB footprint. Confirm RoHS compliance status via current datasheets before finalizing procurement specifications.

Resonators Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact solution with integrated capacitance is required. The 5 pF internal capacitor simplifies circuit design by reducing external component count. Verify that the 16 MHz frequency aligns with the target microcontroller or logic requirements.

Resonators Part Context

This part belongs to the CERALOCK CSTLS series, which are piezoelectric ceramic resonators. The series provides cost-effective timing solutions compared to quartz crystals, particularly for applications where high precision is not critical but size and simplicity are prioritized.

Resonators Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Murata CSTLS16M0X variants with identical electrical parameters. Cross-reference pinout and physical dimensions when considering alternative manufacturers to ensure mechanical compatibility.
