Crystals Procurement Notes

Verify the specific AEC-Q200 qualification status directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributors, as general product listings may not explicitly confirm this certification for every batch. Ensure the selected variant matches the required load capacitance and ESR specifications for the target circuit design. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to confirm compatibility with current manufacturing processes and material compliance requirements.

Crystals Selection Notes

Select this component when a 14.31818 MHz reference signal is required for microcontroller or communication interfaces. The 12pF load capacitance must match the external circuit loading requirements to maintain the specified ±30ppm frequency accuracy. Consider the 100 Ohm ESR value for oscillator circuit stability analysis. The -20°C to +70°C temperature range defines the operational limits for standard commercial applications.

Crystals Part Context

This part belongs to the 8Z series of crystals from TXC Corporation, which are characterized by their small footprint and suitability for high-volume surface mount assembly. The series provides fundamental mode oscillators optimized for cost-effective integration into consumer and industrial electronics. The 8Z designation indicates a specific package style and mounting configuration within the manufacturer's broader portfolio of resonant components.

Crystals Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the 7B-14.31818MAAE-T and 7S-14.31818MAAE-T from TXC Corporation, though these differ in package dimensions and potentially in ESR values. Verify that any replacement maintains the 14.31818 MHz frequency, 12pF load capacitance, and ±30ppm tolerance to ensure circuit compatibility without redesign.
