New Microminiature Surface Mount Crystals From Euroquartz Are Ideal In Space Constrained Applications

Offering very low ageing of less than ±2ppm per year at 25°C, specifications include calibration tolerance at 25°C of ±10ppm, ±20ppm and ±30ppm and frequency stability of ±10ppm from -10 to +60°C (±5ppm available), ±10ppm from -20 to +70°C and ±15ppm from -40 to +85°C. Drive level is 50 to 100μW maximum while shunt capacitance is 2 to 4pF typical, 5pF maximum with load capacitance series or from 9 to 32pF. Storage temperature range is -50 to +105°C.

Supplied on standard EIA tape and reel, the new X22 crystals are capable of withstanding reflow soldering conditions of 260°C for 10s maximum (twice) or 230°C for 180s once.
