416F480X2CAT

Overview

The CTS-Frequency Controls 416F480X2CAT is a miniature surface mount crystal operating at a fundamental frequency of 48 MHz. It features a load capacitance of 10 pF and an equivalent series resistance (ESR) of 60 Ohms. The component exhibits a frequency tolerance of ±15 ppm and a frequency stability of ±20 ppm. Designed for SMD/SMT termination, it utilizes a 4-SMD, No Lead package with dimensions of 1.6 mm x 1.2 mm x 0.45 mm. The device supports a standard operating temperature range from -20°C to +70°C.

Feature Summary

• Hermetic ceramic surface mount package construction
• Fundamental crystal design for high Q factor performance
• Miniature footprint suitable for high density board layouts

Applications

• Wearable and handheld electronics
• Wireless communications devices
• FPGA and microcontroller clock sources
• USB interfaces and computer peripherals

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix CAT against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm active status and exact electrical parameters. Cross-reference the 10 pF load capacitance requirement with the target oscillator circuit design. Ensure the -20°C to +70°C temperature range aligns with the operational environment requirements. Confirm RoHS3 compliance and MSL level 1 handling constraints during assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 48 MHz reference signal is required in space-constrained applications. The 10 pF load capacitance must match the oscillator circuit specifications to ensure accurate frequency generation. Consider the 60 Ohm ESR limit for drive level sensitivity. The hermetic seal provides reliability advantages over non-hermetic alternatives in harsh environments.

Part Context

This part belongs to the CTS Model 416 series, which specializes in miniature surface mount crystals. The series covers frequencies from 24 MHz to 80 MHz. The 416 series is characterized by its small 1.6 x 1.2 mm package size, making it ideal for modern compact electronic designs requiring precise timing references.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed parameter-equivalent substitutes include 416F48012CTR and 416F480X2CTR. Verify that these alternatives match the 10 pF load capacitance and 48 MHz frequency before substitution.
