Product Overview
The CSTCE8.00G15A3J-R0 is a ceramic resonator (CERALOCK) manufactured by Murata Electronics, part of the CSTCE series. It features a nominal frequency of 8.000 MHz with ±0.3% frequency tolerance in a compact 3.2 x 1.3 x 0.8 mm SMD package. Built-in load capacitance (15pF) eliminates the need for external capacitors, simplifying circuit design and reducing component count. With an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, ESR of 40 Ohm, and frequency aging of ±0.3%, this resonator provides reliable clock generation for microcontrollers and digital circuits.
