Low ESR with small footprint: Rutronik stocks Epson's FC1610BN quartz series

05/08/2025 Product News

Rutronik is expanding the Epson portfolio with the FC1610BN, a 32.768 kHz quartz crystal. Compared to its predecessor, the FC1610AN, the energy-saving component has a lower ESR (equivalent serial resistance) with a package size of only 1.6 mm x 1.0 mm. The component operates reliably in an operating temperature range from -40 °C to +105 °C, is suitable for a wide range of applications, e. g. in IoT devices, MCUs for sub-clocks or wearables, and can be purchased together with other Epson products at

www.rutronik24.com.

The components are housed in ceramic SMD packages and metal lid instead of glass lid and impress above all with their low ESR:

  • 45 kΩ typ. (at +25 °C)
  • 60 kΩ max. (at -40 °C to +85 °C)
  • 70 kΩ max. (at -40 °C to +105 °C)

They reliably tolerate operating temperatures from -40 °C to +105 °C and are currently the most power-efficient solution – ideal for ubiquitous applications, including radio modules and MCUs for sub-clocks or FA equipment.

Benefits at a glance:

  • Operating temperature range from -40 °C to +105 °C
  • Small footprint of 1.6 mm x 1.0 mm
  • Frequency range up to 32.768 kHz
  • Very low ESR
  • Ceramic SMD package with metal lid

Some application examples:

  • IoT devices
  • Sleep clocks that require small size and low power consumption
  • MCU and radio modules for sub-clocks
  • Clocks for wearable devices
  • Battery-powered applications
