Crystals Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to ensure the correct tolerance and packaging configuration matches project requirements. Confirm that the 12 pF load capacitance aligns with the host oscillator circuit design. Check datasheet specifications for operating temperature range limitations before finalizing component selection for industrial or automotive environments.

Crystals Selection Notes

Select this component when a 24 MHz reference signal is required in a minimal footprint package. Ensure the application circuit supports a 12 pF load capacitance to maintain the specified ±10 ppm accuracy. Evaluate the 50 Ohm ESR against the oscillator amplifier's drive level constraints to prevent overdriving the crystal.

Crystals Part Context

This part belongs to the FTS 7M series of surface-mount crystals, designed for general-purpose timing applications. The series offers various frequencies and tolerances within standardized SMD packages, providing designers with scalable options for different size and precision requirements across consumer and industrial product lines.

Crystals Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 24 MHz frequency, 3.2x2.5mm package, 12pF load capacitance, and ±10ppm tolerance. Verify pin compatibility and electrical parameters such as ESR before substitution.
