Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'ALT' against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm active status and exact electrical parameters. Cross-reference the load capacitance and ESR values with circuit requirements. Confirm RoHS compliance documentation is available for regulatory adherence. Check for any obsolescence notices or lifecycle changes directly from CTS-Frequency Controls before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 48 MHz fundamental frequency with 12 pF load capacitance is required. Ensure the operating temperature range of -10°C to +60°C aligns with the application environment. Verify that the 60 Ohm ESR matches the oscillator circuit design specifications. Consider the 4-SMD package size for footprint compatibility during layout design.

Part Context

This part belongs to the CTS 416 Series of surface-mount crystals. The series offers various frequencies and load capacitances in standardized small packages. The 416F480X3ALT specifically targets applications requiring precise timing at 48 MHz with moderate stability requirements.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed parameter-equivalent substitutes include 416F480XXCDR and 416F4801XCDR from CTS-Frequency Controls. Verify pinout and electrical specifications match before substitution.
