• High-frequency stability suitable for precision timing circuits in consumer electronics
• Automotive-grade reliability characteristics ensuring performance across extended industrial temperature ranges

Crystals Applications

• Mobile communication devices requiring compact clock sources
• Automotive infotainment and control systems
• Portable electronic equipment with strict size limitations

Crystals Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current datasheet to ensure compatibility with required tolerance and stability specifications. Confirm that the 6 pF load capacitance aligns with the target circuit design before procurement. Check for RoHS compliance status and any recent manufacturing updates that may affect pinout or material composition. Ensure storage conditions meet moisture sensitivity level requirements prior to assembly.

Crystals Selection Notes

Select this component when a 38.4 MHz reference signal is required in a footprint smaller than standard 3215 packages. The 6 pF load capacitance necessitates careful PCB trace layout to maintain accuracy. Consider the 100 Ohm ESR limit when designing oscillator circuits to ensure reliable startup. This part is appropriate for applications demanding both miniaturization and automotive-level thermal resilience.

Crystals Part Context

This part belongs to the ABM11A series of ultra-miniature crystals from Abracon. It shares the same 2016 package dimensions as other members but differs in electrical parameters such as load capacitance and frequency. The series is engineered for high-volume consumer and automotive electronics where board real estate is limited.

Crystals Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 2016 package crystals from Abracon with matching 38.4 MHz frequency and 6 pF load capacitance. Verify that alternative parts meet the same ±15 ppm tolerance and ±30 ppm stability requirements. Cross-reference ESR values to ensure oscillator circuit compatibility.
