Procurement Notes

Verify the specific load capacitance requirement of your circuit design against the component's 10pF specification to ensure accurate frequency tuning. Confirm that the PCB footprint matches the 1.60mm x 1.20mm package dimensions. Check for any specific reflow soldering profile recommendations provided in the official datasheet to maintain component integrity during assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 48 MHz fundamental frequency with ±15ppm stability is required for space-constrained designs. The 10pF load capacitance must align with the oscillator circuit's input capacitance. Consider the 60 Ohm ESR value for drive level sensitivity. Ensure the -20°C to +70°C operating range meets the environmental conditions of the target application.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 416 Series of crystals from CTS-Frequency Controls, which offers various load capacitance options for the same 48 MHz frequency. The suffix 'CAT' indicates the specific 10pF load capacitance variant within this family. Other variants like 'XXCLR' or 'X3CKR' offer different capacitance values such as 12pF or 8pF while maintaining similar physical and electrical characteristics.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 48 MHz crystals with identical 10pF load capacitance and 4-SMD package dimensions. Verify that alternative parts match the 60 Ohm ESR and ±15ppm stability requirements. Cross-reference pin compatibility and thermal specifications to ensure seamless integration without circuit redesign.
