12M10PI/XT324-10/20

Crystals Overview

The YIC 12M10PI/XT324-10/20 is a surface-mount piezoelectric crystal resonator operating at a fundamental frequency of 12 MHz. It features a load capacitance of 10 pF and a frequency tolerance of ±10 ppm. The component utilizes a 4-SMD, no-lead package with dimensions of 3.2 x 2.5 mm. It exhibits an equivalent series resistance (ESR) of 100 ohms and supports an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Crystals Feature Summary

• Provides stable 12 MHz oscillation for digital clock generation
• Compact 3.2x2.5mm SMD footprint for space-constrained designs
• Operates reliably across industrial temperature ranges

Crystals Applications

• Microcontroller clock sources
• Communication module timing references
• Industrial control system oscillators

Crystals Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix configuration against the manufacturer's current datasheet to ensure compatibility with required load capacitance and tolerance specifications. Confirm that the 4-SMD no-lead package dimensions align with the target PCB layout constraints before finalizing procurement orders.

Crystals Selection Notes

Select this component when a 12 MHz reference with ±10 ppm stability is required in a compact surface-mount form factor. Ensure the circuit design accommodates the 10 pF load capacitance and 100 ohm ESR characteristics to maintain accurate frequency performance within the specified industrial temperature range.

Crystals Part Context

This part belongs to the family of standard piezoelectric crystals manufactured by YIC. It serves as a passive frequency-determining element in electronic circuits, distinct from active oscillators. The XT324 designation typically indicates the specific package style and mounting configuration used in surface-mount technology assemblies.

Crystals Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other 12 MHz, 10 pF, 4-SMD crystals from manufacturers such as EPSON or Raltron. Verify that substitute parts match the 100 ohm ESR and ±10 ppm tolerance requirements to ensure electrical equivalence in the application.
