• Provides stable frequency generation with high Q-factor characteristics typical of piezoelectric ceramics.
• Offers compact through-hole packaging suitable for standard PCB assembly processes.

Resonators Applications

• Microcontroller clock sources
• Simple oscillator circuits
• Consumer electronics timing references

Resonators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official documentation, as variations exist between A0 and B0 designations regarding tolerances or availability status. Confirm RoHS compliance and REACH SVHC declarations prior to integration. Check current lifecycle status, as some variants may be marked as Not Recommended for New Designs (NRND). Ensure lead times align with production schedules due to potential supply constraints.

Resonators Selection Notes

Select this component when a cost-effective, low-pin-count solution is required for moderate precision timing applications. Compare against crystal oscillators if higher stability or lower phase noise is necessary. Evaluate the 47 pF internal capacitance against the microcontroller's input capacitance requirements to ensure proper oscillation startup. Consider the through-hole form factor if board space allows and automated SMT placement is not mandatory.

Resonators Part Context

This part belongs to Murata's CERALOCK CSTLS_G series of ceramic resonators. These components serve as alternatives to quartz crystals in applications where size, cost, and ease of use are prioritized over extreme frequency accuracy. The series is widely used in general-purpose digital logic and embedded systems requiring basic clock signals.

Resonators Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitutes include CSTLS6M00G56-B0 from the same manufacturer family. Verify compatibility regarding tolerance specifications and physical footprint before substitution. Cross-reference with other 6 MHz ceramic resonators only if electrical parameters match exactly.
