12.88525

Crystals Overview

The Geyer Electronic America, Inc. model 12.88525 is a ceramic surface-mount crystal designed for frequency control applications. It operates at a nominal frequency of 24 MHz with a tolerance of ±10 ppm. The component features an equivalent series resistance (ESR) of 60 Ohms and a load capacitance of 18 pF. It is housed in a compact 4-SMD, no-lead package with dimensions of 3.20mm x 2.50mm and a maximum seated height of 0.80mm.

Crystals Feature Summary

• Surface-mount ceramic construction for reliable frequency stability
• Compact 4-SMD footprint suitable for space-constrained designs
• Standardized 24 MHz output frequency with defined ESR characteristics

Crystals Applications

• General-purpose clock generation circuits
• Microcontroller oscillator interfaces
• Communication module timing references

Crystals Procurement Notes

Verify the specific load capacitance requirements of your circuit design against the component's 18 pF specification to ensure accurate frequency performance. Confirm that the 60 Ohm ESR aligns with the oscillator circuit's drive level constraints. Ensure the 4-SMD package dimensions fit within the designated PCB land pattern area without interference from adjacent components.

Crystals Selection Notes

Select this component when a stable 24 MHz reference is required in a small form factor. Consider the ±10 ppm tolerance if precise timing accuracy is critical for the application. Evaluate the ceramic material properties against environmental temperature ranges expected in the final product deployment to guarantee consistent operation.

Crystals Part Context

This part belongs to the family of surface-mount ceramic resonators and crystals manufactured by Geyer Electronic America, Inc. These components are engineered for high-volume production environments requiring consistent frequency control. The 4-SMD package type facilitates automated assembly processes commonly used in modern electronics manufacturing.

Crystals Replacement Considerations

Substitute parts must match the 24 MHz frequency, 18 pF load capacitance, and 60 Ohm ESR specifications. Verify that alternative suppliers offer compatible 4-SMD packages with identical or smaller physical dimensions to maintain PCB layout integrity.
