MXJBAFC12M0

Crystals Overview

The Meritek MXJBAFC12M0 is a 12 MHz crystal oscillator housed in an HC49S package. It features a load capacitance of 12 pF and a series resistance of 50 Ohms. The frequency tolerance is ±10 ppm, with stability options of ±10 or ±20 ppm over the operating temperature range of -20°C to +70°C.

Crystals Feature Summary

• HC49S through-hole package design
• 12 MHz fundamental frequency operation
• 12 pF load capacitance specification

Crystals Applications

• Clock signal generation for microcontrollers
• Frequency reference for communication circuits
• Timing source for industrial measurement instruments

Crystals Procurement Notes

Verify the specific stability grade (±10 ppm or ±20 ppm) required for your application against the datasheet specifications. Confirm that the HC49S package dimensions match your PCB footprint requirements. Ensure the operating temperature range of -20°C to +70°C meets your environmental constraints before finalizing procurement.

Crystals Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard 12 MHz timing reference is needed for general-purpose digital circuits. The HC49S package offers robust mechanical stability for through-hole mounting. Consider the ±10 ppm tolerance if higher precision is required compared to standard commercial-grade crystals.

Crystals Part Context

This part belongs to Meritek's line of passive components, specifically quartz crystals used for timing applications. It serves as a fundamental frequency control element in electronic systems requiring stable clock signals. The HC49S form factor is widely adopted in consumer electronics and industrial equipment for its reliability and standardized mounting.

Crystals Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other 12 MHz HC49S crystals with matching 12 pF load capacitance and similar electrical characteristics. Verify that alternative parts meet the same ±10 ppm tolerance and -20°C to +70°C temperature range specifications to ensure functional equivalence.
