Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package dimensions and lead configuration against the official datasheet before integration. Confirm that the operating temperature range meets the environmental requirements of the target application. Ensure compatibility with the required load capacitance in the circuit design. Check for RoHS compliance status if restricted substances are a concern for the project.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 12.0 MHz fundamental mode crystal is required with moderate stability. The wide physical footprint accommodates robust mounting but may limit use in ultra-compact designs. Consider the temperature range limitations for extreme environment deployments. Evaluate alternative packages if space constraints exceed the provided dimensions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the general category of passive quartz crystals produced by IQD Frequency Products. It serves as a frequency reference element within oscillator circuits. The bulk packaging indicates availability for high-volume manufacturing processes. It is distinct from temperature-compensated or voltage-controlled oscillator variants.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other 12.0 MHz SMD crystals from IQD or competitors. Verify matching load capacitance and ESR values. Ensure physical dimensions allow for direct replacement on existing footprints.
