Resonators provide an inexpensive frequency-reference element for clock generation in microcontrollers, timers, and digital circuits — offering a cost-effective alternative to crystal oscillators for applications where moderate frequency accuracy (±0.5% to ±0.1%) is acceptable, such as home appliances, consumer electronics, industrial controls, and automotive modules. Our resonator inventory covers ceramic resonators (Ceralock), quartz crystal resonators, and SAW resonators from Murata (CSTNE/CSTLG series), Kyocera (CC/CM series), Abracon (AB-Series crystal), ECS (ECS-CC series), and TDK (CERALOCK series) — in frequencies from 2MHz to 60MHz (ceramic) and 1MHz to 250MHz (quartz crystal), with load capacitances from 6pF to 33pF, in SMD packages from 2012 (3215) to 6035.
Specific ceramic resonator frequencies for automotive ECU applications (AEC-Q200) and tight-tolerance (≤ ±50 ppm) crystal resonators for GPS and precision timing are frequently allocated. Welllinkchips stocks common resonator types and can source discontinued ceramic resonator and crystal resonator part numbers for legacy appliance and automotive control module repair.
