416F36022AST 36 MHz Crystal Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 416F36022AST is a 36 MHz fundamental mode crystal oscillator in a 4-SMD, No Lead surface mount package manufactured by CTS-Frequency Controls. This component is designed for applications requiring precise frequency generation with ±20ppm stability across the -10°C to 60°C operating temperature range. The part is discontinued at DiGi Electronics, making identification of equivalent substitutes essential for ongoing production and maintenance applications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 416F36022AST is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Frequency: 36 MHz (exact match required)
• Frequency Stability & Tolerance: ±20ppm (exact match required)
• ESR: 80 Ohms (exact match required)
• Operating Mode: Fundamental (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -10°C to 60°C (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 4-SMD, No Lead (exact match required)
• Physical Dimensions: 0.063" L x 0.047" W, 0.018" max height (exact match required)
• Load Capacitance: Series (exact match required)

The 416F36022ASR meets all these criteria and is therefore a direct parametric equivalent. The primary distinction between these parts is packaging format and product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 416F36022ASR is the direct substitute for the 416F36022AST. Both parts are manufactured by CTS-Frequency Controls within the 416 series and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The 416F36022ASR maintains active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability. Both parts comply with ROHS3 and REACH requirements, with EAR99 export classification.

The primary difference is packaging format: the 416F36022AST is supplied in bulk packaging, while the 416F36022ASR is supplied in Tape & Reel format. This distinction affects handling, storage, and automated assembly processes but does not impact electrical performance or physical compatibility on the PCB.

For new designs or production requiring long-term component availability, the 416F36022ASR is the preferred selection due to its active product status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 416F36022ASR be used as a direct replacement for the 416F36022AST?

A: Yes. Both parts are parametrically identical across all electrical and mechanical specifications. They are interchangeable at the circuit level.

Q: What is the difference between the bulk and Tape & Reel packaging formats?

A: Bulk packaging (416F36022AST) is suitable for manual assembly and small-volume applications. Tape & Reel packaging (416F36022ASR) is designed for automated pick-and-place assembly and high-volume production. The components themselves are identical.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts carry identical RoHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and EAR99 export classification.

Q: Why is the 416F36022AST discontinued?

A: Product discontinuation at distributors typically reflects market demand and inventory management decisions. The 416F36022ASR remains in active production and is the recommended source for ongoing supply.

Q: What are the critical parameters for substitution?

A: Frequency (36 MHz), frequency stability (±20ppm), ESR (80 Ohms), operating mode (Fundamental), operating temperature range (-10°C to 60°C), package type (4-SMD, No Lead), and physical dimensions (0.063" L x 0.047" W x 0.018" max height) must all match exactly for substitution compatibility.

Q: Can I mix packaging formats in the same production run?

A: Yes, provided your assembly process can accommodate both bulk and Tape & Reel formats. The electrical and mechanical performance is identical.
