Resonators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official Murata documentation to ensure correct tolerance and packaging specifications. Confirm that the requested quantity aligns with standard reel or cut-tape availability. Check for any recent product lifecycle changes or obsolescence notices directly from the manufacturer before finalizing procurement orders.

Resonators Selection Notes

Select this component when a cost-effective alternative to quartz crystals is required for moderate precision timing applications. Ensure the target circuit can accommodate the inherent higher motional resistance compared to crystal units. Verify that the 15 pF load capacitance matches the oscillator circuit requirements to maintain the specified 0.5% frequency stability.

Resonators Part Context

This part belongs to the CERALOCK series, which represents Murata's line of ceramic resonators. These devices are engineered to replace traditional quartz crystals in applications where size reduction and lower cost are prioritized over extreme frequency accuracy. The series is widely used in general-purpose electronic devices.

Resonators Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Murata ceramic resonators with identical 18 MHz frequency, 15 pF load capacitance, and compatible physical dimensions. Cross-referencing with equivalent parts from other manufacturers requires careful verification of electrical parameters and footprint compatibility.
