Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both substitute parts—ASGTX-C-98.304MHZ-2 and ASGTX-C-98.304MHZ-2-T2—are direct functional equivalents to the discontinued ASGTX-C-98.304MHZ-2-T. Selection between substitutes should be based on the following factors:

ASGTX-C-98.304MHZ-2 (MFR Recommended): This part carries the manufacturer's recommended designation and maintains active product status. It is the primary choice for new designs and production applications requiring the 98.304 MHz VCTCXO specification.

ASGTX-C-98.304MHZ-2-T2 (Parametric Equivalent): This part provides identical electrical and mechanical performance and is also in active production status. It serves as an alternative source when the MFR recommended part is unavailable.

Both parts comply with ROHS3 regulations and carry MSL 1 rating, indicating unlimited shelf life under standard storage conditions. No additional testing or qualification is required for direct substitution in existing circuit designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ASGTX-C-98.304MHZ-2 and ASGTX-C-98.304MHZ-2-T2 be used interchangeably with ASGTX-C-98.304MHZ-2-T?

A: Yes. All three parts share identical electrical specifications (frequency, output type, supply voltage, stability, and current consumption) and mechanical specifications (package type, dimensions, and height). Direct substitution is supported without circuit modification.

Q: What is the difference between the MFR Recommended and Parametric Equivalent designations?

A: The MFR Recommended part (ASGTX-C-98.304MHZ-2) carries Abracon LLC's official recommendation for this specification. The Parametric Equivalent part (ASGTX-C-98.304MHZ-2-T2) meets all electrical and mechanical parameters but may represent an alternative production variant. Both are equally suitable for circuit applications.

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

A: No. All three parts carry identical ROHS3 compliance status, MSL 1 rating, REACH Unaffected status, and ECCN/HTSUS classifications. No additional compliance documentation is required for substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the "-T" and "-T2" suffixes in the part numbers?

A: These suffixes indicate manufacturing or packaging variants within the ASGTX series. The electrical and mechanical specifications remain identical across all variants listed. The suffixes do not affect functional compatibility.

Q: Is the 6-SMD, No Lead package compatible with standard PCB assembly processes?

A: Yes. The 6-SMD, No Lead package is a standard surface mount configuration compatible with automated pick-and-place and reflow soldering processes. The 2.24mm maximum seated height accommodates standard PCB clearance requirements.

Q: What inventory considerations should be evaluated when selecting between substitute parts?

A: Current inventory levels are: ASGTX-C-98.304MHZ-2-T (997 Pcs), ASGTX-C-98.304MHZ-2 (876 Pcs), and ASGTX-C-98.304MHZ-2-T2 (783 Pcs). Availability may vary by distributor and time. Confirm current stock status with your component supplier before finalizing procurement decisions.
