7M12000146

Crystals Overview

The TXC CORPORATION 7M12000146 is a surface-mount crystal component designed for standard clock applications. It operates at a fundamental frequency of 12.0000 MHz with a load capacitance of 10 pF. The device utilizes a 4-SMD, No Lead package measuring 3.2 mm in length and 2.5 mm in width. It supports an operating temperature range from -20°C to +70°C and is supplied in reel packaging.

Crystals Feature Summary

• Provides stable 12 MHz timing signals via a quartz crystal resonator
• Features a compact surface-mount footprint for automated assembly
• Operates within a defined industrial temperature range

Crystals Applications

• Standard clock signal generation in electronic circuits
• Microcontroller system timing references
• Embedded digital logic synchronization

Crystals Procurement Notes

Verify the specific load capacitance requirement of 10 pF against the target circuit design to ensure frequency accuracy. Confirm that the operating environment remains within the specified -20°C to +70°C range. Ensure the PCB layout accommodates the 3.2 mm x 2.5 mm SMD package dimensions and appropriate soldering profiles for lead-free compliance.

Crystals Selection Notes

Select this component when a 12 MHz crystal oscillator is required for cost-sensitive designs. The 10 pF load capacitance specification must match the external capacitors used in the oscillator circuit. Consider the limited temperature range if the application involves extreme environmental conditions. The surface-mount format is suitable for high-volume manufacturing processes.

Crystals Part Context

This part belongs to the TXC Corporation crystal product line, distinct from their XO oscillator series. It functions as a passive resonator requiring an external oscillator circuit rather than providing a direct output signal. The 4-SMD package offers a smaller profile compared to through-hole alternatives, facilitating dense board layouts.
