Crystals Procurement Notes

Verify the exact frequency tolerance and stability grade required for your application, as the 8Q series offers multiple variants (e.g., 10 PPM, 20 PPM, 30 PPM). Confirm the specific operating temperature range (-40°C to +70°C or +85°C) matches your environmental constraints. Ensure the 12 pF load capacitance aligns with your circuit design requirements before ordering.

Crystals Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 37.4 MHz reference is needed in a small footprint. Consider the ESR and excitation level compatibility with your oscillator circuit. Choose the appropriate tolerance and stability rating based on system precision needs. Verify that the SMD package dimensions fit within the PCB layout constraints.
