Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package variant and tape-and-reel specifications against the official IQD datasheet prior to ordering. Confirm that the operating temperature range of -10°C to +60°C aligns with the target application environment requirements. Ensure compatibility with the intended oscillator circuit's load capacitance and drive level constraints to guarantee reliable frequency stability during production implementation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 30 MHz SMD crystal with 18 pF load capacitance is required. Consider the ±50 ppm tolerance and 30 Ohm ESR characteristics for standard timing applications. Evaluate the -10°C to +60°C temperature range against environmental conditions. Compare package dimensions and mounting style with PCB layout constraints to ensure mechanical fit and soldering process compatibility.
