• Low equivalent series resistance to support robust oscillator circuit startup

Crystals Applications

• Automotive electronic systems
• Industrial data acquisition modules
• Portable consumer electronics

Crystals Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix matches the required load capacitance and frequency tolerance. Confirm that the package dimensions align with the target PCB layout constraints. Ensure the manufacturer designation corresponds to Fox Electronics or authorized successor Abracon. Validate compliance with current environmental directives before finalizing procurement orders.

Crystals Selection Notes

Select this model when a 16 MHz timing reference is required in space-constrained designs. The 10 pF load capacitance suits standard microcontroller interfaces. Consider the low ESR specification for circuits requiring minimal power consumption during oscillation startup phases.

Crystals Part Context

This component belongs to the C3BA series of ceramic crystals. These devices utilize a缝焊 (seam-welded) hermetic seal to protect the quartz resonator element. The series is engineered to meet automotive-grade reliability standards while maintaining a small form factor suitable for dense surface-mount assemblies.

Crystals Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with FC3BSEEDM26.0-T3 for similar packaging but different electrical parameters. Verify compatibility with FC3VREEGM36.0-T3 only if frequency requirements differ significantly.
