Murata CSTNR CERALOCK® Resonators

Murata CSTNR 8MHz-20MHz CERALOCK® Resonators are small-cap chip type resonators that are made of high-stability piezoelectric ceramics that function as the mechanical resonator. The CSTNR series is available in two variants such as CSTNR_GH5C for automotive and CSTNR_GH5L for consumer/industrial applications. These resonators provide high accuracy in extremely small packages and come with built-in load capacitors. Typical automotive applications for Murata CSTNR CERALOCK resonators include cluster panel, control panel, safety control, car AC, power window, intelligent transportation system, lane keeping system, and battery control for hybrid cars. Typical consumer/industrial applications include clock oscillators for USB controller ICs, audio equipment, musical instruments, and replacement of crystal units or oscillators.
