AWSZT-16.00CV-T - ABRACON

AWSZT-16.00CV-T Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB land pattern for the AWSZT-16.00CV-T?
  Abracon recommends a land pattern with a minimum pad size of 1.3mm x 0.8mm and a non-solder mask defined (NSMD) pad shape to ensure reliable soldering and minimize thermal resistance.
• How do I handle the crystal's sensitivity to vibration and shock?
  To minimize the impact of vibration and shock, Abracon recommends mounting the crystal on a rigid PCB, using a shock-absorbing material, and ensuring the crystal is properly secured to the PCB using a suitable adhesive or mechanical fastening method.
• What is the recommended storage condition for the AWSZT-16.00CV-T?
  Abracon recommends storing the AWSZT-16.00CV-T in a dry, cool place with a temperature range of -20°C to 40°C and relative humidity below 60%. Avoid exposing the crystal to direct sunlight, moisture, or extreme temperatures.
• Can I use the AWSZT-16.00CV-T in a high-temperature environment?
  While the AWSZT-16.00CV-T is rated for operation up to 85°C, Abracon recommends derating the crystal's frequency tolerance and stability specifications for temperatures above 70°C. Consult Abracon's application notes for more information on high-temperature operation.
• How do I ensure the crystal's frequency accuracy and stability over time?
  To maintain the crystal's frequency accuracy and stability, Abracon recommends using a suitable oscillator circuit design, ensuring proper PCB layout and routing, and controlling the operating temperature and voltage within the specified ranges.
