AZ-12.000MAGQ-T

Crystals Overview

The AZ-12.000MAGQ-T is a surface-mount quartz crystal manufactured by TXC Corporation, designed for automotive applications. It operates at a fundamental frequency of 12 MHz with a load capacitance of 12 pF. The component meets AEC-Q200 qualification standards and utilizes seam sealing technology within a ceramic package. Frequency stability is specified at ±30 ppm at 25°C and ±50 ppm across the extended temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. The device features a four-terminal no-lead SMD footprint measuring 2.5 mm in length and 2.0 mm in width.

Crystals Feature Summary

• AEC-Q200 qualified for automotive reliability requirements
• Seam sealed ceramic construction for environmental protection
• Extended industrial temperature range operation

Crystals Applications

• Automotive electronic control units
• In-vehicle infotainment systems
• Telematics modules

Crystals Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific order matches the AZ-12.000MAGQ-T designation to ensure AEC-Q200 compliance. Confirm the required load capacitance aligns with the circuit design specifications. Check for updated manufacturing documentation regarding the seam seal process. Ensure storage conditions comply with moisture sensitivity level requirements prior to assembly.

Crystals Selection Notes

Select this component when automotive-grade reliability is mandatory for 12 MHz clock signals. The 2.5x2.0 mm form factor suits space-constrained PCB layouts. Consider the ±50 ppm stability over temperature for timing-critical interfaces. Verify compatibility with the host system's load capacitance requirements before finalizing the bill of materials.

Crystals Part Context

This part belongs to TXC Corporation’s automotive crystal portfolio, distinguished by its AEC-Q200 certification. Unlike standard commercial crystals, it employs seam sealing to enhance durability against humidity and contaminants. The 12 MHz output serves as a primary clock source for microcontrollers and communication controllers in vehicle networks.

Crystals Replacement Considerations

Substitutes must maintain AEC-Q200 qualification and identical 12 MHz frequency. Verify that alternative components support the same 12 pF load capacitance and offer comparable ±50 ppm stability over the -40°C to +85°C range. Physical dimensions and pin configuration must match the 2.5x2.0 mm SMD footprint.
