Resonators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'TR' confirms tape and reel packaging requirements against your manufacturing equipment specifications. Ensure the 10 pF integrated capacitance aligns with the target oscillator circuit's load requirements. Confirm the 60 Ohm impedance matches the driving gate capabilities of the host microcontroller or logic family to guarantee reliable oscillation start-up.

Resonators Selection Notes

Select this component when cost-effective timing solutions are required without the precision demands of quartz crystals. The integrated capacitor feature reduces external component count and board space. Consider the ±0.3% tolerance and temperature stability limits for applications where strict frequency accuracy over wide thermal ranges is not critical.

Resonators Part Context
