F61600023 16 MHz Crystal Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The F61600023 is a 16 MHz fundamental mode crystal manufactured by Diodes Incorporated in the SaRonix-eCera™ F6 series. This component is designed for timing and frequency control applications requiring a 16 MHz reference with 18pF load capacitance. The part is currently obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute components essential for ongoing system support and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the F61600023 is determined by strict alignment with the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Frequency: 16 MHz (exact match required)
• Frequency Tolerance: ±20ppm (exact match required)
• Load Capacitance: 18pF (exact match required)
• Operating Mode: Fundamental (exact match required)
• Package: 2-SMD, No Lead (exact match required)
• Temperature Range: -40°C to 85°C (exact match or wider range acceptable)

The two qualified substitute parts meet all electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility requirements. Variations in ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) and physical dimensions remain within acceptable tolerances for direct substitution in applications designed for the F61600023.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both substitute parts are qualified alternatives based on electrical and mechanical parameter alignment. Selection between ABM3-16.000MHZ-D2Y-T and ECS-160-18-23A-JGN-TR should consider:

• Product Status: Both substitute parts maintain active manufacturing status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability compared to the obsolete F61600023.
• Compliance: Both substitutes meet ROHS3 compliance requirements. The ECS-160-18-23A-JGN-TR maintains REACH Unaffected status identical to the original part, while ABM3-16.000MHZ-D2Y-T is REACH Affected.
• ESR Variation: The ABM3 variant offers the lowest ESR at 40 Ohms, while the ECS variant operates at 60 Ohms. The original F61600023 operates at 50 Ohms. ESR differences within this range are compatible with standard crystal oscillator circuit designs.
• Packaging Format: ABM3-16.000MHZ-D2Y-T is supplied in Cut Tape & Digi-Reel format; ECS-160-18-23A-JGN-TR is supplied in Tape & Reel format. Selection depends on procurement and assembly requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ABM3-16.000MHZ-D2Y-T and ECS-160-18-23A-JGN-TR be used interchangeably with F61600023?

A: Yes. Both parts meet the critical electrical specifications: 16 MHz frequency, ±20ppm tolerance, and 18pF load capacitance. The 2-SMD, No Lead package and operating temperature range are identical. ESR variations (40, 50, and 60 Ohms) fall within acceptable ranges for standard crystal circuit applications.

Q: What is the significance of ESR differences between the three parts?

A: ESR affects crystal startup time and circuit stability. The ABM3 (40 Ohms) provides the lowest ESR, potentially offering faster startup. The ECS (60 Ohms) operates at the highest ESR within this group. Circuits designed for the original 50 Ohm ESR will function with either substitute, though ESR should be verified against specific oscillator circuit requirements.

Q: Are there packaging considerations when switching from F61600023 to a substitute?

A: Both substitutes use identical 2-SMD, No Lead surface mount packages. Physical dimensions vary slightly: F61600023 and ECS-160-18-23A-JGN-TR share 6.00mm x 4.60mm footprints, while ABM3-16.000MHZ-D2Y-T uses a smaller 5.00mm x 3.20mm footprint. PCB layout compatibility should be verified for the ABM3 variant.

Q: Why is the F61600023 obsolete while substitutes remain active?

A: Diodes Incorporated has discontinued the SaRonix-eCera™ F6 series. Abracon and ECS continue manufacturing equivalent 16 MHz crystals with identical electrical specifications, providing continuity for applications requiring this frequency standard.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to these parts?

A: All three parts are RoHS compliant (F61600023 and ECS are RoHS Compliant; ABM3 is ROHS3 Compliant). REACH status differs: F61600023 and ECS-160-18-23A-JGN-TR are REACH Unaffected, while ABM3-16.000MHZ-D2Y-T is REACH Affected. Regulatory requirements for your application should determine final part selection.
