8Q-32.000MEIQ-T

Crystals Overview

The 8Q-32.000MEIQ-T is a high-accuracy quartz crystal resonator manufactured by TXC Corporation, designed for surface-mount applications. It operates at a fundamental frequency of 32 MHz with a load capacitance of 10 pF and an equivalent series resistance (ESR) of 50 Ohms. The component features a tight initial frequency tolerance of ±10 ppm at 25°C, expanding to ±20 ppm across the extended industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. Housed in a compact 4-SMD, no-lead package measuring 1.6 mm x 1.2 mm x 0.4 mm, it utilizes seam seal technology for enhanced environmental stability.

Crystals Feature Summary

• Utilizes seam seal construction for improved environmental protection and long-term reliability
• Delivers high frequency accuracy with ±10 ppm tolerance at standard conditions
• Supports extended industrial operating temperatures from -40°C to +85°C

Crystals Applications

• Precision timing circuits in industrial control systems
• Clock generation for microcontrollers requiring stable reference frequencies
• Communication modules demanding high-frequency stability

Crystals Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific suffix 'IQ' corresponds to the required ±10 ppm/±20 ppm tolerance and -40°C/+85°C temperature range, as opposed to other variants like 'EEV' which may differ in tolerance or temperature specs. Confirm the 10 pF load capacitance matches the target circuit design requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Crystals Selection Notes

Select this component when a small 1.6x1.2 mm footprint is required alongside high precision timing. Ensure the application circuit provides the specified 10 pF load capacitance to achieve the stated ±10 ppm accuracy. Consider the extended temperature range suitability if the device will operate in harsh industrial environments below 0°C or above 70°C.

Crystals Part Context

This part belongs to the 8Q series of high-accuracy MHz crystals from TXC Corporation. The series is characterized by its small form factor and robust seam seal packaging, distinguishing it from larger through-hole or standard SMD crystals. It serves as a specialized timing element within the broader portfolio of TXC's passive components.
