Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix CAT against official CTS documentation to confirm the 10pF load capacitance specification. Ensure compatibility with existing circuit designs requiring this precise capacitive load. Confirm that the -20°C to +70°C industrial temperature range meets the operational requirements of the target application environment before finalizing procurement decisions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 48 MHz fundamental frequency with ±20 ppm stability is required. The 10pF load capacitance must match the oscillator circuit design parameters. Consider the 4-SMD package dimensions for footprint constraints. Verify that the ESR value aligns with the driving circuit capabilities to ensure reliable oscillation startup and maintenance.
