Resonating at a frequency range of 26.000-60.000 MHz, the CX-2520SB oscillator provides reflow compatibility for mobile communications, Bluetooth and wireless local-area network applications. The lead-free, RoHS-conforming oscillator has motional series resistances of 100 Ohm at 26.000-34.999 MHz and 50 Ohms at 35.000-60.000 MHz with a load capacitance of 8 pF.

Measuring 2.5 mm x 2.0 mm (±0.1 mm), the 0.45 mm (±0.1 mm) thick crystal oscillator has a frequency tolerance of ±10 ppm at 25°C and an operating temperature range of -30 to +85°C. Typical pricing for the CX-2520 crystal oscillator starts at $1 each for 1000 pieces and $0.70 for 10,000 pieces.
