Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current catalog to confirm exact electrical tolerances and temperature ranges. Ensure that the selected variant matches the required load capacitance and drive level specifications for the target application circuit. Cross-reference part numbers with official distributors to avoid counterfeit components.

Selection Notes

Select this component when space constraints require a 2016 package size while maintaining strict frequency stability for wireless standards. Confirm that the host microcontroller or RF chip supports the specified 7pF load capacitance and can operate within the 10μW drive limit. Evaluate thermal requirements to ensure the operating temperature range aligns with the system environment.

Part Context

This model belongs to the NX2016 series, a line of ultra-small surface-mount crystals designed for portable electronics. The series emphasizes miniaturization without compromising the electrical performance necessary for modern wireless connectivity standards, serving as a critical timing reference for compact devices.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 2016 package dimensions, 38.4 MHz frequency, 7pF load capacitance, and ≤60Ω ESR. Verify compatibility with existing PCB footprints and driver circuits before integration.
