PIN-TO-PIN ALTERNATIVE
X322516MRB4SC is a Chinese-manufactured pin-to-pin drop-in replacement for EPSON TSX-3225 / FA-238 (16 MHz) (EPSON / KDS / TXC).
Same 3225 footprint as EPSON premium crystals, at domestic pricing and lead time.
X322516MRB4SC — Alternative to EPSON TSX-3225 / FA-238 (16 MHz)
X322516MRB4SC from YXC 扬兴 is supplied by JTDZ Tech (Shenzhen Jingteng Electronics) as a cost-effective, short-lead-time alternative to the imported EPSON TSX-3225 / FA-238 (16 MHz) (EPSON / KDS / TXC). Chinese-sourced semiconductors have moved well beyond "cheap substitute" status: the parts below are production-validated in industrial, automotive and consumer designs, and they remove both the allocation risk and the long lead times that come with imported.

What to check before substituting X322516MRB4SC for EPSON TSX-3225
- 3225 is an industry-standard footprint, so a 16 MHz YXC 3225 crystal substitutes directly for EPSON TSX-3225 or FA-238 at the same frequency and load capacitance.
- Match the load capacitance to the (18 pF in this part number) or the oscillator will pull off frequency.
- Frequency, tolerance and load are all customisable on request, so odd frequencies can be matched.
- Domestic supply means short lead times and no allocation risk compared with imported crystal brands.
Typical Applications
- MCU clock sources
- Wearables and compact IoT devices
- Consumer electronics
- Wireless modules and communication equipment
