8Y-38.400MEEE-T

Crystals Overview

The 8Y-38.400MEEE-T is a surface-mount quartz crystal resonator manufactured by TXC Corporation, designed for precision timing applications. It operates at a fundamental frequency of 38.4 MHz with a load capacitance of 12 pF and an equivalent series resistance (ESR) of 80 Ohms. The component exhibits high frequency stability of ±10 ppm across the operating temperature range. Housed in a compact 4-SMD, No Lead package, it supports standard surface mount technology processes for automated assembly.

Crystals Feature Summary

• High frequency stability of ±10 ppm ensures precise timing accuracy
• Compact 4-SMD No Lead package facilitates automated surface mount assembly
• Fundamental mode operation at 38.4 MHz with low ESR characteristics

Crystals Applications

• Digital clock signal generation
• Microcontroller system clocks
• Communication interface timing

Crystals Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix MEEE against official datasheets to confirm load capacitance and stability ratings. Ensure compatibility with reflow soldering profiles specified for 4-SMD packages. Confirm RoHS compliance status prior to integration into final assemblies.

Crystals Selection Notes

Select this component when ±10 ppm stability is required for 38.4 MHz applications. Compare against MAAB or MAAJ variants if different load capacitances are needed. Verify package dimensions match PCB footprint requirements for 4-SMD No Lead configurations.

Crystals Part Context

This part belongs to TXC's SMD crystal lineup, distinct from their oscillator families like 8WE or 7X. Unlike active oscillators, this is a passive resonator requiring external circuitry for clock generation. It serves as a core timing element in embedded systems where cost-effective precision is prioritized over integrated features.

Crystals Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with 8Y-38.400MAAB-T for 6pF load capacitance or 8Y-38.400MAAJ-T for 18pF load capacitance. Verify identical frequency and package dimensions before substitution.
