Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package variant and reel quantity requirements against the manufacturer's latest datasheet before ordering. Confirm that the supply chain source provides authentic components with traceable documentation. Ensure compatibility with standard SMT reflow profiles during the procurement phase to maintain component integrity.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a stable 16 MHz reference is required for space-constrained designs. The low ESR value supports efficient circuit operation. Consider the ±10 ppm tolerance for applications requiring tighter frequency control compared to standard commercial grade crystals. Verify load capacitance matching with the host oscillator circuit.

Part Context

This part belongs to the CFPX-218 series of MHz crystals from IQD Frequency Products. It represents a standard solution for general-purpose timing applications where moderate stability and compact packaging are prioritized. The series is widely used in consumer and industrial electronics requiring reliable clock signals.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 16 MHz frequency, 8 pF load capacitance, and 4-SMD footprint. Verify equivalent ESR and stability specifications to ensure circuit performance parity.
