Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix and mechanical dimensions against the official Crystek datasheet prior to procurement. Ensure that the supply voltage and tuning voltage requirements align with the system design constraints. Confirm RoHS compliance status if required by regulatory standards. Cross-reference the part number with authorized distributors to ensure authenticity and availability of current production batches.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a wide tuning bandwidth is required within the 2.3 GHz to 2.4 GHz spectrum. Consider the 5V supply requirement and the specific tuning voltage range of 0.3 V to 4.7 V for interface compatibility. The SMD package size should be evaluated against available board space. Verify thermal management capabilities given the -40°C to +85°C operating range.
