LFXTAL003127BULK

Overview

The LFXTAL003127BULK is a quartz crystal resonator manufactured by IQD Frequency Products, designed for through-hole mounting. It operates at a fundamental frequency of 6 MHz with a load capacitance of 30 pF. The component features a frequency tolerance of ±20 ppm and a frequency stability of ±30 ppm at 25°C. It utilizes the HC-49 series package, characterized by resistance welding and hermetic sealing in an inert atmosphere with glass-to-metal seals on the leads. This construction ensures reliable performance within standard electronic circuit applications requiring precise timing references.

Feature Summary

• Hermetically sealed construction using resistance welding in an inert atmosphere
• Glass-to-metal seals on leads for environmental protection
• Standard leaded package design for through-hole integration

Applications

• General-purpose timing circuits
• Microcontroller clock sources
• Consumer electronics timing references

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm packaging configuration, as bulk packaging may differ from reel options. Confirm that the HC-49 package dimensions align with the target PCB footprint requirements. Ensure the operating temperature range meets the environmental conditions of the final assembly. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with official IQD documentation to validate current production status and availability constraints before procurement planning.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 6 MHz fundamental frequency with ±20 ppm tolerance is required for through-hole applications. The HC-49 package offers robust mechanical stability compared to surface-mount alternatives. Consider the 30 pF load capacitance requirement to ensure proper oscillator circuit tuning. Verify compatibility with the host system's drive level specifications to prevent over-driving the crystal element during operation.

Part Context

This component belongs to the HC-49 series of quartz crystals, which are industry-standard through-hole devices. IQD Frequency Products manufactures these units with resistance-welded metal cans for durability. The series supports various frequencies and load capacitances, providing a versatile solution for legacy and new designs requiring reliable, hermetically sealed timing components in standard leaded packages.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other HC-49 style crystals with matching 6 MHz frequency, 30 pF load capacitance, and similar tolerance ratings. Ensure replacement parts maintain equivalent hermetic sealing standards and through-hole pin spacing. Verify that alternative manufacturers offer comparable frequency stability and drive level specifications to guarantee circuit performance parity.
