Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix C10-T3 to ensure the correct 10 pF load capacitance and tape & reel packaging configuration. Confirm that the 40 Ohm impedance matches the target oscillator circuit requirements. Check for RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the final assembly. Ensure the surface mount footprint dimensions align with the PCB layout constraints.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a cost-effective alternative to quartz crystals is required for non-critical timing applications. The integrated capacitor eliminates the need for external load capacitors, simplifying the schematic. Consider the ±0.5% tolerance if higher precision is not mandatory. The wide operating temperature range makes it suitable for environments exceeding standard commercial limits.
