Crystals Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current datasheet to ensure compatibility with required load capacitance and frequency tolerance specifications. Confirm that the package dimensions and termination style align with the target PCB footprint and soldering process requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Crystals Selection Notes

Select this component when a 24 MHz reference signal is required with moderate stability. Ensure the application circuit provides the specified 16 pF load capacitance to maintain accuracy. Verify that the operating environment remains within the -20°C to +70°C range and that the drive level does not exceed 100 µW to prevent frequency shifts or damage.

Crystals Part Context

This part belongs to the CTS 435 series of surface mount crystals. It serves as a passive frequency control element, distinct from active oscillators. It requires an external amplifier circuit to function, providing a stable resonant frequency for digital logic and communication interfaces in consumer and industrial electronics.

Crystals Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 24 MHz SMD crystals with matching 16 pF load capacitance and ±30 ppm tolerance. Verify equivalent package size (5.0x3.2mm) and temperature range (-20 to +70°C). Cross-reference impedance and drive level specifications to ensure circuit compatibility without redesign.
