In this paper, CLBO crystals were grown by top-seeded solution growth (TSSG) method using self-flux. The temperature and frequency dependence of the dielectric constant, dielectric loss, a.c. conductivity and impedance spectroscopy for different cuts CLBO crystal were investigated, also temperature characteristics of the resonance frequency and electromechanical coupling were studied.  The results show that (001)-plane of CLBO crystal has the highest dielectric constant in the order of 109, highest a.c. conductivity and highest electromechanical coupling factor of about 17% at elevated temperature, these make CLBO crystal excellent candidate for electrical application at elevated temperature. Also the anisotropy of electric properties has strong relationship with ion densities of different crystal plane.
