Crystals Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix matches the required load capacitance and stability parameters. Confirm the package dimensions align with the PCB footprint. Ensure the operating temperature range meets the environmental requirements of the target application. Cross-reference the datasheet specifications against the requested part number to avoid substitution errors.

Crystals Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact SMD crystal is required for industrial environments. The 8 pF load capacitance necessitates careful circuit matching to ensure proper oscillation. Consider the ESR value for impedance matching within the oscillator circuit. Verify that the ±20 ppm stability is sufficient for the system's timing accuracy requirements.
