ECS-160-S-4 16 MHz Crystal For Series-Loaded Timing Loops

ECS-160-S-4 is built for oscillator circuits that specify a series load condition and use a through-hole crystal package. It provides a 16 MHz reference for embedded controllers, legacy timing boards, and interface designs where frequency planning and divider chains are already set. ECS-160-S-4 is specified at ±30 ppm tolerance, helping keep timebases consistent in systems that depend on stable clocks for comms or control loops. The listed ESR is 40 Ω, which supports startup in many crystal driver stages when the loop is kept compact and the loading network matches the IC vendor’s guidance. Keep traces short and symmetric, and avoid routing near high-slew clock lines or switching regulators. For many designs, a clean ground return and careful placement do more than component swaps.
