AM16000006 16 MHz Crystal Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AM16000006 is a 16 MHz fundamental mode crystal oscillator manufactured by TXC CORPORATION, designed for surface mount applications in timing and frequency control circuits. This active product features a 12pF load capacitance, 100 Ohms equivalent series resistance, and operates across the industrial temperature range of -40°C to 125°C. The component is packaged in a compact 4-SMD, No Lead configuration measuring 3.20mm × 2.50mm with a maximum seated height of 0.80mm.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, and compliance certifications are maintained across different manufacturers. This ensures design flexibility and supply chain continuity without requiring circuit redesign.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the AM16000006 is based on strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The following parameters must remain identical for a part to qualify as a direct substitute:

Electrical Parameters (Non-negotiable):

• Frequency: 16.0000 MHz
• Frequency Tolerance: ±30 ppm
• Load Capacitance: 12 pF
• ESR: 100 Ohms
• Operating Mode: Fundamental
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 125°C
• Frequency Stability: ±100 ppm

Mechanical Parameters (Non-negotiable):

• Package Type: 4-SMD, No Lead
• Dimensions: 3.20mm L × 2.50mm W
• Maximum Seated Height: 0.80mm
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount

Compliance Parameters (Required):

• AEC-Q200 Rating
• RoHS Compliance Status
• MSL Level 1

Parts meeting all these criteria are classified as parametric equivalents and direct substitutes. No deviations in frequency, load capacitance, ESR, package dimensions, or compliance ratings are permitted.
