Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'CTT' against official manufacturer documentation to confirm lead time and availability status, as distribution channels may list varying stock levels or discontinuation notices. Ensure the ordering part number matches the exact electrical specifications required by the design, particularly the 6pF load capacitance and ±15ppm tolerance, to avoid functional mismatches in high-precision timing applications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 48 MHz fundamental frequency with 6pF load capacitance is required for space-constrained designs. The 4-SMD footprint allows for dense PCB layouts. Consider the ±15ppm stability limit and -20°C to +70°C operating range to ensure compatibility with the target environment. Verify that the 60 Ohm ESR aligns with the oscillator circuit's drive level requirements.

Part Context

This crystal belongs to the 416 Series from CTS-Frequency Controls, designed for general-purpose timing applications. The series offers various load capacitance options and packaging styles to accommodate different circuit designs. The 416F480X3CTT specifically targets applications requiring a standard 48 MHz frequency with moderate stability in a small outline package.
