Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix or packaging variant against the manufacturer's current datasheet to ensure compliance with RoHS directives and lead-free requirements. Confirm that the selected reel or bulk quantity matches the assembly line specifications. Cross-reference the part number with authorized distributors to validate authenticity and traceability before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 26 MHz reference signal is required in a compact SMD footprint. Ensure the circuit design accommodates the 8 pF load capacitance to maintain frequency accuracy. Evaluate the thermal environment to confirm operation within the -40°C to +85°C range. Compare ESR specifications against the oscillator circuit's drive level limitations to prevent over-driving the crystal.

Part Context

This part belongs to the IQXC-42 series, representing IQD Frequency Products' portfolio of miniature quartz crystals. The series targets applications demanding reliable timing solutions in consumer, industrial, and automotive electronics. IQD provides these components as part of their broader frequency control offerings, supporting global supply chains through various distribution channels.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 26 MHz SMD crystals with identical 2.0x1.6mm dimensions and 8 pF load capacitance. Verify that alternative parts meet the same ±15 ppm tolerance and -40°C to +85°C temperature rating. Check for compatible ESR values and drive level specifications to ensure circuit compatibility without redesign.
