Crystals Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version before procurement, as specifications may be subject to change. Confirm that the 4-SMD, No Lead package dimensions align with your PCB footprint requirements. Ensure compatibility with standard reflow soldering profiles for SMD components. Cross-reference the load capacitance value with your circuit design to maintain frequency accuracy.

Crystals Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, surface-mount crystal is required for 8 MHz applications. Consider the ±50 ppm stability requirement against your system's timing constraints. Evaluate the 12 pF load capacitance compatibility with your oscillator circuit. The small form factor makes it suitable for space-constrained designs compared to through-hole alternatives.
