Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the AM-16.000MAME-T is permissible when the replacement component meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitution logic is based on the following criteria:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match):

• Frequency: 16 MHz
• Frequency Tolerance: ±30ppm
• Load Capacitance: 12pF
• ESR: 100 Ohms
• Operating Mode: Fundamental
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 125°C

Mechanical Parameters (Must Match):

• Package Type: 4-SMD, No Lead
• Physical Dimensions: 3.20mm x 2.50mm x 0.80mm (Max)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount

Compliance Parameters (Must Match or Exceed):

• AEC-Q200 Automotive Qualification
• RoHS Compliance Status
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: MSL 1

The FC3BACAGI16.0-T3 manufactured by Fox Electronics satisfies all mandatory electrical, mechanical, and compliance requirements and is classified as a parametric equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the AM-16.000MAME-T and FC3BACAGI16.0-T3 are active production components with identical electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility. Selection between these parts is determined by:

Supply and Inventory Considerations: The AM-16.000MAME-T (TXC CORPORATION) currently maintains 1118 pieces in stock. The FC3BACAGI16.0-T3 (Fox Electronics) maintains 1055 pieces in stock. Either component is suitable for new designs or replacement applications.

Compliance Status: Both components carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and meet RoHS requirements. The FC3BACAGI16.0-T3 carries ROHS3 compliance designation and REACH Unaffected status, providing additional regulatory documentation.

Packaging Format: The AM-16.000MAME-T is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, suitable for automated assembly operations. The FC3BACAGI16.0-T3 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) format, suitable for manual or small-batch assembly. Packaging selection depends on production volume and assembly methodology.

Tariff and Trade Classification: Both components share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8541.60.0050) classifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FC3BACAGI16.0-T3 be used as a direct replacement for the AM-16.000MAME-T in existing designs?

A: Yes. The FC3BACAGI16.0-T3 meets all electrical and mechanical specifications. Both components operate at 16 MHz with ±30ppm tolerance, 12pF load capacitance, and 100 Ohms ESR. Physical dimensions and mounting characteristics are identical. No circuit modifications are required.

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

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging supplies components on continuous carrier tape wound on a reel, optimized for high-volume automated assembly. Cut Tape (CT) packaging supplies components on cut segments of carrier tape, suitable for lower-volume or manual assembly operations. Both formats contain the same component.

Q: Are both parts suitable for automotive applications?

A: Yes. Both the AM-16.000MAME-T and FC3BACAGI16.0-T3 carry AEC-Q200 qualification, which certifies suitability for automotive-grade reliability and temperature cycling requirements.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) mean?

A: Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 indicates the component has unlimited shelf life and does not require special moisture-controlled storage or handling procedures. Both parts can be stored under standard industrial conditions.

Q: Can these crystals be used interchangeably in production?

A: Yes, provided the assembly process accommodates the packaging format. If the production line is configured for Tape & Reel input, use the AM-16.000MAME-T. If configured for Cut Tape input, use the FC3BACAGI16.0-T3. Electrical performance and reliability are equivalent.

Q: What is the significance of ROHS3 compliance on the Fox Electronics part?

A: ROHS3 represents the current version of the Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive. Both parts are RoHS compliant; the FC3BACAGI16.0-T3 documentation explicitly references the ROHS3 standard version.
