C5S-12.000-16-5050-X-R

Crystals Overview

The C5S-12.000-16-5050-X-R is a parallel fundamental quartz crystal manufactured by Aker Technology Corp, designed for surface-mount applications. It operates at a nominal frequency of 12 MHz with a load capacitance of 16 pF and a maximum equivalent series resistance of 35 Ω. The component features a frequency tolerance of ±50 ppm at 25°C and maintains stability within ±50 ppm over the operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. It exhibits an aging rate of 3 ppm per year and supports a drive level of 100 µW. The device is housed in a compact SMD package measuring 5.0 mm x 3.2 mm x 1.0 mm.

Crystals Feature Summary

Crystals Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current datasheet to ensure alignment with required tolerance and packaging specifications. Confirm that the 16 pF load capacitance matches the target circuit design requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Crystals Selection Notes

Select this component when a 12 MHz surface-mount crystal with moderate frequency stability is required. Ensure the application circuit can support the specified 100 µW drive level and 35 Ω ESR to guarantee reliable startup and operation within the -40°C to +85°C temperature range.

Crystals Part Context

This part belongs to the C5S series of surface-mount quartz crystals from Aker Technology Corp. The series offers various frequencies and packages optimized for space-constrained electronic designs. The C5S designation indicates a specific footprint and electrical characteristic profile distinct from other Aker product lines.

Crystals Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include C5S-12.000-16-5050-X (without trailing R) if tape-and-reel packaging is not strictly required. Other Aker C5S variants with identical 12 MHz frequency and 16 pF load capacitance may be considered pending verification of mechanical dimensions and electrical parameters.
