Resonators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'CR' indicates the -40°C to +85°C temperature rating and ±0.5% tolerance. Confirm the package type matches your PCB footprint requirements. Ensure storage conditions comply with manufacturer guidelines to prevent lead oxidation before soldering. Cross-reference the full part number with official distributor catalogs to avoid confusion with similar variants having different temperature or tolerance specifications.

Resonators Selection Notes

Select this component when an industrial-grade temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) is required alongside standard ±0.5% frequency accuracy. It is appropriate for designs where space constraints favor surface-mount packages over through-hole alternatives. Consider the integrated capacitance value to ensure compatibility with the target microcontroller's input requirements without additional external components.

Resonators Part Context

This part belongs to the Kyocera AVX PRQC series of ceramic resonators, which are widely used as cost-effective timing solutions. The series offers various frequency options and package styles to accommodate different embedded design needs. The PRQC16.00CR5010X00L specifically addresses applications needing robust performance in non-consumer, industrial-grade environments compared to standard commercial-grade counterparts.

Resonators Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other 16 MHz ceramic resonators with 10 pF internal capacitance and -40°C to +85°C ratings, such as the PRQC16.00SR5010X000 if wider temperature tolerance is acceptable. Verify pinout compatibility and physical dimensions before substitution to ensure mechanical fit on existing PCB layouts.
