Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation when ordering, as bulk packaging variants may differ from reel configurations. Confirm RoHS compliance status directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributors prior to integration. Ensure that the selected variant matches the required thermal characteristics for the intended operational environment. Cross-reference the part number against current manufacturer catalogs to confirm availability and any recent design updates.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 24.576 MHz fundamental frequency is required for digital system clocks. The 18 pF load capacitance must match the oscillator circuit design specifications to ensure accurate frequency generation. Consider the ±50 ppm stability requirement against the system's timing accuracy needs. The 5x3.2mm package size should be evaluated against available PCB real estate constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the IQD Frequency Products quartz crystal lineup, which offers various timing solutions for commercial and industrial applications.
