Additional Details

The EG-2101CA typically requires a supply voltage of 3.3V or 5V. It is designed for surface mount technology (SMT) assembly. Its operating temperature range is generally between -40°C to +85°C, but the specific range should be verified in the datasheet. The oscillator's stability is typically specified in parts per million (ppm) over the operating temperature range, which is a critical parameter for applications requiring high accuracy. Crystal oscillators are favored for their excellent frequency stability compared to other types of oscillators, making them ideal for demanding applications. Always refer to the official datasheet for precise electrical characteristics, mechanical dimensions, and handling precautions.
