Crystals Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'CAT' against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm active status and packaging details. Cross-reference the load capacitance value with circuit design requirements to ensure impedance matching. Confirm RoHS3 compliance if required by project specifications. Check for any recent lifecycle notifications regarding obsolescence or last-time buy dates directly from CTS-Frequency Controls official channels.

Crystals Selection Notes

Select this component when a 38.4 MHz fundamental frequency is required with tight ±10 ppm tolerance. Ensure the application circuit supports an 8 pF load capacitance to maintain accuracy. Verify that the PCB layout accommodates the 1.60x1.20 mm package dimensions. Consider the -20°C to +70°C operating range against the environmental conditions of the final product.

Crystals Part Context

This part belongs to the CTS 416 Series of miniature crystals. The series offers various load capacitances and tolerances in standard SMD packages. The 416F38412CAT specifically targets applications requiring high stability in small form factors. It complements other variants like 416F38412CAR and 416F38412CLR which may differ in load capacitance or packaging quantity.

Crystals Replacement Considerations

Parametric equivalents include 416F38412CAR and 416F38412CKR. Verify that substitute parts match the 8 pF load capacitance and 150 Ohm ESR limits. Ensure the replacement maintains the same 4-SMD package dimensions for board compatibility.
