Resonators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'A0' against the manufacturer's latest datasheet to confirm current manufacturing status and compliance certifications. Ensure the ordering code matches the required frequency tolerance and package dimensions. Cross-reference the part number with official Murata documentation to validate availability and any recent product change notifications before finalizing procurement.

Resonators Selection Notes

Select this component when a cost-effective, high-stability timing solution is required for through-hole PCB designs. The integrated capacitor simplifies layout compared to discrete crystal oscillators. Ensure the application environment remains within the specified -20°C to +80°C range. Verify that the 3.64 MHz frequency aligns with the system's clock requirements and that the 15 pF internal capacitance matches the oscillator circuit design.

Resonators Part Context
