NX2016AB-36MHZ ST3

Overview

The NX2016AB-36MHZ ST3 is a surface-mount crystal unit from NDK, housed in a compact 2.0 x 1.6 mm package with a height of 0.50 mm. It operates at a nominal frequency of 36 MHz using fundamental mode oscillation. The device features a load capacitance (CL) of 8 pF and maintains a frequency tolerance of ±20 ppm at 25°C. It supports an operating temperature range of -30°C to +75°C with a stability of ±20 ppm across this span. This component is designed for space-constrained applications requiring reliable clock signals.

Feature Summary

• Compact 2016-size SMD footprint suitable for miniaturized electronics
• Fundamental mode operation without overtone requirements
• Integrated temperature compensation within specified industrial range

Applications

• Mobile communication modules
• Bluetooth low energy (BLE) transceivers
• IoT sensor nodes
• Wearable electronic devices

Procurement Notes

Verify current availability status as the part may be discontinued or subject to supply constraints. Confirm exact ordering suffixes match design requirements. Ensure ESD handling protocols are followed during assembly. Validate compatibility with PCB layout parasitic capacitance. Check for alternative lead-free packaging compliance if required by regional regulations.

Selection Notes

Select based on strict frequency tolerance needs of ±20 ppm. Consider the 8 pF load capacitance for circuit matching. Evaluate thermal performance within the -30°C to +75°C window. Assess physical space limitations against the 2.0 x 1.6 mm dimensions. Review drive level specifications to prevent over-driving the crystal element.

Part Context

This model belongs to the NX2016 series, characterized by ultra-small footprints for modern portable devices. It serves as a precision timing reference for digital circuits. The series emphasizes reliability in consumer and industrial sectors. Designers often choose this form factor when board real estate is severely limited.

Replacement Considerations

Check official NDK documentation for direct cross-reference parts. Verify pinout and electrical equivalence before substitution. Ensure replacement units meet identical frequency and tolerance standards.
