IQD Frequency Products SMD Crystal, 16MHz, 11.4mm x 4.9mm, 30ppm

The IQD Frequency Products HC-49/4HSMX Series SMD Crystal Oscillator is a high-precision, surface-mount device engineered for stability and reliability in demanding industrial applications. Operating at a nominal frequency of 16MHz, this crystal is constructed using a robust, resistance-welded process and is hermetically sealed within an inert atmosphere, ensuring exceptional longevity and resistance to environmental contaminants. Its glass-to-metal seal on the leads provides superior airtight integrity, a critical feature for maintaining consistent performance over time.

The crystal's gull-wing mounting design, created by lead wires mounted onto a plastic former, facilitates a secure and reliable solder joint to printed circuit boards (PCBs), which is essential for automated assembly processes. This surface-mount technology (SMD) package, measuring 11.4mm by 4.9mm, is compact and designed for space-efficient electronic designs.

Key Performance Features:

• Stable Frequency Output: Delivers a precise 16MHz signal with a frequency tolerance of ±30ppm and excellent frequency stability of ±50ppm.
• Specified Load Capacitance: Optimised for a 16pF load, ensuring the crystal oscillates at its intended frequency within the circuit design.
• Broad Operating Range: Capable of functioning reliably across an operating temperature spectrum from -10°C to 60°C, making it suitable for a wide variety of industrial environments.
• Robust Construction: The hermetic sealing and metal case provide mechanical strength and protect the quartz element from moisture, dust, and other potential sources of degradation.

This component is a fundamental part of the HC-49/4HSMX series, renowned for its quality and is supplied with two pins for direct surface mounting. Its combination of precision, durable construction, and industry-standard packaging makes it an excellent choice for timing and clocking needs
