Crystals Procurement Notes

This component is officially listed as obsolete by the manufacturer. Verify availability through secondary market channels or authorized distributors handling surplus stock. Confirm RoHS non-compliance status if environmental regulations apply to your project. Check datasheet revisions for any updated mechanical drawings before finalizing PCB layout.

Crystals Selection Notes

Select this part only if through-hole mounting and specific 12 MHz fundamental frequency requirements align with system constraints. Consider the ±30 ppm stability sufficient for timing applications. Evaluate the 50 Ohm ESR against oscillator circuit capabilities. Ensure the -20°C to +70°C operating range meets environmental conditions.
