416F50012CTT

Overview

The 416F50012CTT is a surface-mount quartz crystal oscillator manufactured by CTS-Frequency Controls. It operates at a fundamental frequency of 50 MHz with a frequency stability of ±10 ppm and a frequency tolerance of ±10 ppm. The component features a load capacitance of 6 pF and an equivalent series resistance (ESR) of 60 Ohms. It utilizes a 4-SMD, no-lead package configuration designed for automated assembly processes.

Feature Summary

• Fundamental mode operation for precise timing applications
• Surface-mount design compatible with standard SMT reflow processes
• Low equivalent series resistance for efficient circuit integration

Applications

• High-speed digital logic timing references
• Microcontroller clock sources
• Communication interface synchronization

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'CTT' against official CTS documentation to confirm the exact packaging type and reel specifications. Ensure that the required frequency tolerance of ±10 ppm aligns with the system's timing budget. Cross-reference the 6 pF load capacitance with the host circuit's design requirements to prevent frequency deviation. Confirm RoHS compliance status through the manufacturer's current environmental declarations before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 50 MHz fundamental frequency is required with tight ±10 ppm stability constraints. The 6 pF load capacitance suits circuits designed for low-capacitance loads. The 4-SMD no-lead package offers space efficiency compared to traditional leaded crystals. Consider the 60 Ohm ESR value when evaluating drive level sensitivity and power consumption in the target application environment.

Part Context

This part belongs to the CTS 416 series of surface-mount crystals. These components are engineered for general-purpose timing applications requiring reliable performance. The series supports various frequencies and package options to accommodate diverse PCB layout constraints. The 416F50012CTT specifically addresses the demand for high-frequency stability in compact electronic designs.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 50 MHz frequency, 6 pF load capacitance, and 4-SMD no-lead package. Verify that alternative parts maintain the ±10 ppm stability and 60 Ohm ESR specifications. Check pin compatibility and thermal characteristics to ensure seamless integration without redesigning the host circuit board.
