Additional Details

The CSTCR4M00G15B1J-R0 is designed to oscillate at a frequency of 4 MHz. The exact frequency tolerance, temperature stability, and aging characteristics can be found in the Murata datasheet for this part. When using this resonator, it's important to consider the load capacitance required by the microcontroller or other circuit it's connected to. The resonator should be placed as close as possible to the microcontroller's oscillator pins to minimize noise and signal distortion. Proper soldering techniques are crucial to ensure a reliable connection and prevent damage to the resonator. The device should be handled carefully to avoid mechanical stress. The resonator's performance is affected by temperature variations.
