ATLC2 is a bit easier to drive.
The way to verify a sim is to make a board and TDR it. They are usually close.
The one in the pic above is from Shining Star.
SHINING STAR 19521000
We use
SHINING STAR 24521116
too, a bit longer part. Both about $1.90.
I've bought a bunch of similar ones from Amazon and they have been great. But it's our general policy to not use Amazon parts in production.
Here's a 4-layer proto board that let us TDR the connectors and the relay.
The piezoelectric resonator layer is aluminium nitride according to a video on the TI website. John
Yeah, that's it, I remember now.
Yeah, I made that mistake once too. A longer shank is definitely desirable.
Neat! Who do you use for your board fab?
Forgot to mention (and sorry if I've asked you this before but you have to allow me some extra forbearance on account of my age) - what do you use for your TDR?
I have an ancient Tek 11802 with an SD24 TDR plugin.
My SD-24s have been dropping like flies lately—I have four that show “Illegal channel number “and only one that still works.

Aha! Vintage; splendid. That's what I like to hear.
Fix 'em, then, Phil! You get a sense of achievement and a warm glow from knowing you're helping to save the planet. ;-)
