Resonators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific load capacitance requirement against the target circuit design, as this variant specifies 5 pF. Confirm that the through-hole footprint matches the PCB layout constraints. Ensure the operating temperature range meets the environmental conditions of the final application. Check current availability status due to potential supply fluctuations.

Resonators Selection Notes

Select this component when a 33.8 MHz reference signal is required with tight initial tolerance. Compare against crystal oscillators if lower phase noise is not critical but cost reduction is prioritized. Ensure the driving circuit supports third harmonic operation. Verify that the 5 pF load capacitance aligns with the oscillator IC specifications to maintain frequency accuracy.
