It operates at a nominal frequency of 16 MHz with a frequency tolerance of ±0.5% and stability of ±0.3%. The component features an impedance of 40 Ohms and supports a load capacitance of 30 pF. It functions within a temperature range of -20°C to +85°C. The device utilizes a 1916 (4741 Metric) package, measuring 4.70mm in length, 4.10mm in width, and 1.40mm in height.

Feature Summary

• Provides stable timing signals with tight frequency tolerance and stability specifications for reliable circuit operation.
• Utilizes a compact surface-mount design suitable for space-constrained printed circuit board layouts.
• Constructed as a washable ceramic resonator compatible with standard manufacturing processes.

Applications

• Microcontroller clock generation
• Communication interface timing
• Consumer electronics signal processing

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'MXD' to ensure correct package dimensions and thermal characteristics. Confirm that the required load capacitance matches the target circuit design, as external capacitors may be necessary. Check RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the final assembly. Ensure the operating temperature range aligns with the intended application environment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a cost-effective alternative to quartz crystals is needed with moderate stability requirements. The 16 MHz frequency is common for microcontroller systems. Consider the ±0.3% stability rating against system timing budgets. The SMD form factor simplifies automated assembly compared to through-hole options.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AWSZT series of ceramic resonators from Abracon LLC. These components are engineered to replace bulkier crystal oscillators in applications where high precision is not critical. The series offers various frequencies and packages to accommodate different design constraints while maintaining consistent performance standards across the product line.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Abracon AWSZT models with identical electrical parameters but different frequencies or packages. Cross-reference with competitor ceramic resonators offering 16 MHz, ±0.5% tolerance, and similar impedance values. Verify pin compatibility and mounting footprint before substitution.
