With the trend toward
miniaturization and integrated functions of sets, reduction in mounting
space and thickness of the components to be incorporated in equipment
is more strongly required.
Through improvement of the processing methods and development of new
piezoelectric materials, Murata has promoted miniaturization of ceramic
resonators ("CERALOCK"), and now offers designs as small as 0805 (2.5 x
2.0mm/3.2 x 1.3 mm) and as thin as 0.5 mm (1.0 mm) earlier than other
manufacturers. You can expect further reduction in size and thickness
in the future. |
