TO39-3 Case

• Ideal for 868.350 MHz Transmitters

• Low Series Resistance

• Quartz Stability

• Rugged, Hermetic, Low-Profile TO39 Case

• Complies with Directive 2002/95/EC (RoHS)

The RO3164 is a true one-port, surface-acoustic-wave (SAW) resonator in a low-profile TO39 case. It

provides reliable, fundamental-mode, quartz frequency stabilization of fixed-frequency transmitters operating

at 868.350 MHz. The RO3164 is designed specifically for wireless remote controls and security transmitters,

typically for automotive-keyless-entry, operating in the USA under FCC Part 15, in Canada under DoC RSS-

210, and in Italy.
