AB-20.000MAHE-T

Crystals Overview

The AB-20.000MAHE-T is a surface-mount quartz crystal manufactured by TXC Corporation, designed for precise timing applications. It operates at a fundamental frequency of 20 MHz with a load capacitance of 12 pF. The component features a standard 2-SMD package measuring 5.00 mm in length and 3.20 mm in width. It offers a frequency tolerance of ±30 ppm and a stability of ±50 ppm across the operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. The device utilizes a base harmonic mode and includes an equivalent series resistance (ESR) of 50 Ohms. It complies with RoHS3 standards and is supplied in tape and reel packaging.

Crystals Procurement Notes

Verify the specific AEC-Q200 qualification status directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributors, as availability data may vary by region. Confirm that the 2-SMD package dimensions align with your PCB layout requirements before finalizing procurement decisions. Ensure compliance with RoHS3 regulations for your target market.

Crystals Selection Notes

Select this component when a 20 MHz fundamental frequency with ±30 ppm tolerance is required in a compact SMD form factor. Consider the 12 pF load capacitance requirement for circuit compatibility. Evaluate the -40°C to +85°C operating range against environmental conditions. Compare ESR specifications with oscillator drive level capabilities to ensure stable operation.

Crystals Part Context

This part belongs to the broader category of quartz crystals produced by TXC Corporation. It serves as a passive frequency control element within timing circuits. Unlike active oscillators, it requires an external circuit to generate a clock signal. The AA series designation typically indicates automotive-grade components, distinguishing it from general-purpose consumer grade crystals.

Crystals Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 20 MHz crystals with identical 2-SMD (5x3.2mm) footprints, 12 pF load capacitance, and ±30 ppm tolerance. Verify equivalent ESR values and temperature stability ranges. Cross-reference with similar automotive-grade parts if AEC-Q200 certification is mandatory.
