Crystals Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix requirements against the official CTS datasheet before ordering, as variations may exist within the 402 series. Confirm that the 10pF load capacitance matches the target oscillator circuit design. Ensure the -20°C to +70°C temperature range aligns with the operational environment constraints of the final assembly.

Crystals Selection Notes

Select this component when a 38.4 MHz frequency is required in a compact SMD footprint. The 60 Ohm ESR specification distinguishes it from higher impedance alternatives like the 416 series. Consider the commercial temperature range limitations if the application requires extended industrial or automotive grade performance. Verify compatibility with the host circuit's load capacitance requirements.

Crystals Part Context

This part belongs to the CTS 402 series of surface-mount crystals, designed for space-constrained electronic designs. The series offers various frequency options and load capacitance configurations. The 402F384XXCAR specifically addresses the need for stable 38.4 MHz timing in consumer and industrial electronics using standard surface mount technology processes.

Crystals Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 402 series variants with matching electrical parameters. Cross-reference the 402F384XXCLR if a 12pF load capacitance is acceptable. Ensure any replacement maintains the 60 Ohm ESR and 38.4 MHz frequency to preserve circuit timing integrity.
