8Q-38.400MAAQ-T

Crystals Overview

The 8Q-38.400MAAQ-T is a surface-mount MHz quartz crystal manufactured by TXC Corporation. It operates at a nominal frequency of 38.4 MHz with a frequency stability and tolerance of ±30 ppm. The component features a load capacitance of 10 pF and an equivalent series resistance (ESR) of 80 Ohms. It utilizes a seam seal ceramic package in a 4-SMD, no lead configuration with dimensions of 1.6 mm x 1.2 mm. The device supports fundamental mode operation and functions within a temperature range of -20°C to +70°C.

Crystals Feature Summary

• Seam seal ceramic construction for environmental protection
• Fundamental mode quartz crystal operation
• Compact 1.6x1.2 mm SMD footprint

Crystals Applications

• General purpose timing circuits
• Microcontroller clock sources
• Communication interface modules

Crystals Procurement Notes

Verify the specific operating temperature range (-20°C to +70°C) against system requirements, as it differs from industrial grade parts. Confirm the 10 pF load capacitance matches the host circuit design. Ensure the 80 Ohm ESR is compatible with oscillator drive levels. Check RoHS compliance status via official documentation before integration.

Crystals Selection Notes

Select this part when a compact 1.6x1.2 mm crystal is required for 38.4 MHz applications. It is suitable for commercial temperature ranges rather than extended industrial environments. Compare the 10 pF load capacitance and 80 Ohm ESR against alternative crystals like the 8Y or 7M series if different electrical parameters are needed. Ensure the seam seal package meets mechanical constraints.

Crystals Part Context

This component belongs to the TXC 8Q series of miniature quartz crystals. The series is characterized by small form factors designed for space-constrained portable electronics. The 8Q series typically offers standard frequency tolerances and utilizes ceramic packaging for durability. It serves as a cost-effective timing solution for consumer devices requiring stable clock signals.
