CSTNE12M5G52A000R0

Overview

The Murata Electronics CSTNE12M5G52A000R0 is a ceramic resonator from the CERALOCK CSTNE series, designed for surface-mount applications. It operates at a nominal frequency of 12.5 MHz with a frequency stability of ±0.2% and a tolerance of ±0.5%. The component features an integrated load capacitance of 33 pF, eliminating the need for external capacitors in many designs. It is housed in a compact 3-SMD package measuring 3.20 mm in length, 1.30 mm in width, and 0.80 mm in height. The device supports a wide operating temperature range from -40°C to +125°C and complies with RoHS3 standards.

Feature Summary

• Integrated 33 pF load capacitance simplifies circuit design by removing the requirement for external capacitors.
• Compact 3.20 mm x 1.30 mm SMD footprint enables space-efficient layout on printed circuit boards.
• Wide operating temperature range of -40°C to +125°C ensures reliability in demanding environments.

Applications

• In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI) systems
• Automotive navigation units
• Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) modules

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'G52' against official Murata documentation to confirm the 33 pF internal capacitance value. Ensure the selected variant matches the required 12.5 MHz frequency and ±0.2% stability specifications for the target application. Cross-reference the package dimensions and thermal characteristics with the latest datasheet to guarantee compatibility with the PCB layout and operational environment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a cost-effective alternative to quartz crystals is needed for clock generation in automotive or industrial circuits. The integrated capacitance reduces bill-of-materials complexity. Consider the ±0.2% stability for applications requiring moderate precision. Verify that the 3.20 mm x 1.30 mm package fits within the available board space constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the CERALOCK CSTNE series, which are ceramic resonators known for their low profile and high reliability. The series is widely used in consumer electronics and automotive applications where size and cost are critical factors. The CSTNE designation indicates a specific form factor and termination style optimized for automated surface-mount assembly processes.

Replacement Considerations

The discontinued CSTCE12M5G52A-R0 is a direct replacement option within the same manufacturer's portfolio. Both parts share identical electrical parameters, including frequency, capacitance, and package dimensions. Verify that the replacement part meets all environmental and compliance requirements of the original design.
