8Q-38.400MAAY-T

Crystals Overview

The TXC Corporation 8Q-38.400MAAY-T is a surface-mount MHz quartz crystal resonator operating at a fundamental frequency of 38.4 MHz. It features a frequency stability and tolerance of ±30 ppm across the commercial temperature range of -20°C to +70°C. The component utilizes a ceramic package with dimensions of 1.6 mm x 1.2 mm and a height of 0.5 mm, housed in a 4-SMD, no-lead configuration. It requires a load capacitance of 7 pF and exhibits an equivalent series resistance (ESR) of 80 Ohms. Designed for general timing applications, it supports standard SMT assembly processes.

Crystals Feature Summary

• Compact 1.6x1.2 mm ceramic surface-mount package
• ±30 ppm frequency stability within -20°C to +70°C range
• Fundamental mode operation with 7 pF load capacitance

Crystals Applications

Crystals Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix matches the required temperature range and load capacitance specifications. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation prior to integration. Ensure design compatibility with the 4-SMD no-lead footprint dimensions and soldering thermal profiles recommended by TXC Corporation.

Crystals Selection Notes

Select this component when a small form factor is required for 38.4 MHz timing. Consider the ±30 ppm stability sufficient for non-critical data transmission. Evaluate the 80 Ohm ESR against oscillator circuit requirements. Compare against alternative packages if stricter environmental ratings or different load capacitances are necessary.

Crystals Part Context

This part belongs to the TXC Corporation 8Q series of seam-seal quartz crystals. These components are designed for high-volume consumer electronics manufacturing.
