Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation against official CTS documentation to confirm exact stability and load capacitance parameters. Ensure the selected variant matches the required thermal operating range for the target application environment. Cross-reference manufacturer datasheets for precise mechanical dimensions and soldering recommendations to guarantee proper assembly and long-term reliability.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 50 MHz reference with ±15 ppm stability is required. Consider the 10 pF load capacitance compatibility with the host oscillator circuit. Evaluate the -20°C to +70°C temperature range against environmental conditions. Compare ESR values with other available packages to ensure impedance matching within the design constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the CTS 416F series of surface-mount crystals. The series offers various frequency options and stability grades. The 416F5001XCAR specifically targets the 50 MHz segment with moderate stability requirements. It complements higher-stability variants like the XCLR model while providing a cost-effective solution for standard commercial applications requiring reliable timing signals.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the 416F5001XCLR, which offers improved ±10 ppm stability but requires 12 pF load capacitance. Verify that the host circuit can accommodate the capacitance difference. Other family members may share the same footprint but differ in frequency or temperature range. Always validate electrical parameters before substitution.
