CSTLS5M56G53-A0

Resonators Overview

The CSTLS5M56G53-A0 is a ceramic resonator from Murata Electronics' CERALOCK series, designed for frequency control and timing applications. It operates at a nominal frequency of 5.5 MHz with a tolerance of ±0.5%. The component utilizes a three-pin through-hole package measuring 8 mm in length, 5.5 mm in width, and 3 mm in height. It features a load capacitance of 15 pF and supports an operating temperature range from -20°C to +80°C.

Resonators Feature Summary

• Provides stable clock signals using the piezoelectric effect for timing circuits
• Offers high reliability and low cost compared to quartz crystal oscillators
• Features a compact three-pin through-hole design for easy PCB integration

Resonators Applications

• Microcontroller clock generation
• Timing circuits for consumer electronics
• Frequency reference for communication modules

Resonators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'A0' corresponds to the Ammo Pack packaging configuration as listed in official distributor catalogs. Confirm that the load capacitance requirement of your circuit matches the 15 pF specification to ensure accurate frequency performance. Check RoHS compliance status against current regulatory requirements for your target market before finalizing procurement orders.

Resonators Selection Notes

Select this component when a cost-effective timing solution is required for microcontrollers or logic circuits. Ensure the application environment stays within the -20°C to +80°C operating range. Verify that the 5.5 MHz frequency meets system requirements and that the through-hole mounting style aligns with the PCB assembly process capabilities.

Resonators Part Context

This part belongs to the CSTLS_G series of ceramic resonators by Murata Electronics. These devices are passive components used to replace quartz crystals in applications where moderate frequency stability is sufficient. The CERALOCK branding indicates a focus on reliability and standardized form factors for mass production electronics.

Resonators Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 5.5 MHz ceramic resonators with similar 15 pF load capacitance and through-hole packages. Verify pinout compatibility and physical dimensions before swapping. Consult Murata's official substitution guide for cross-referencing equivalent parts from other manufacturers.
