8Q-26.000MEEY-T

Crystals Overview

The 8Q-26.000MEEY-T is a surface-mount quartz crystal manufactured by TXC Corporation, operating at a fundamental frequency of 26 MHz. It features a load capacitance of 7 pF and a frequency tolerance of ±10 ppm at 25°C, with stability maintained within ±10 ppm across the commercial temperature range of -20°C to +70°C. The component utilizes a 4-SMD, No Lead package with dimensions of 1.6 mm x 1.2 mm and an equivalent series resistance (ESR) of 100 Ohms maximum.

Crystals Feature Summary

• Seam seal construction for enhanced environmental protection
• Compact 1.6mm x 1.2mm footprint suitable for space-constrained designs
• Stable frequency performance across standard commercial temperature ranges

Crystals Applications

• Consumer electronics requiring precise timing references
• Communication modules operating at 26 MHz
• Microcontroller clock sources in portable devices

Crystals Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'EY' confirms the 7 pF load capacitation requirement against your circuit design. Confirm RoHS3 compliance status via the official datasheet before integration. Ensure the 100 Ohm ESR limit aligns with your oscillator circuit's drive level specifications to prevent frequency instability or crystal damage during operation.

Crystals Selection Notes

Select this component when a 26 MHz frequency is required with tight ±10 ppm stability in a minimal 1.6x1.2 mm package. Compare against variants like 8Q-26.000MEEV-T if an 8 pF load capacitance is needed instead. Consider the 8Z-26.000MEEQ-T alternative if a larger package size is acceptable for easier handling.

Crystals Part Context

This part belongs to the 8Q series of seam seal crystals from TXC Corporation. These components are designed for high reliability in surface-mount applications. The series offers various load capacitance options to match different oscillator circuit requirements while maintaining consistent physical dimensions and electrical characteristics across the family.

Crystals Replacement Considerations

The FTS part number 8Q-26.000MEEY-T serves as a direct equivalent substitute. The TXC Corporation part 8Z-26.000MEEQ-T provides equivalent frequency but differs in package size. Verify pin compatibility and load capacitance matching before substitution.
