QT161S-32.000METV-T

Overview

The QT161S-32.000METV-T is a surface-mount quartz crystal oscillator manufactured by QST Products, LLC. It operates at a nominal frequency of 32.000 MHz with a load capacitance of 8 pF and an equivalent series resistance of 80 Ohms. The component utilizes a seam-seal ceramic package measuring 1.6 mm x 1.2 mm with four solder pads. Frequency stability is specified at ±10 ppm across the operating temperature range of -30°C to +85°C. This device is designed for precision timing applications requiring compact form factors and stable oscillation characteristics in consumer and industrial electronics.

Feature Summary

• Seam-seal ceramic construction for enhanced environmental protection
• Compact surface-mount footprint suitable for space-constrained designs
• Stable frequency performance across extended industrial temperature ranges

Applications

• Microcontroller clock sources
• Communication module timing references
• Consumer electronic device synchronization

Procurement Notes

Verify the complete part number including suffixes such as 'T' for tape-and-reel packaging against official manufacturer documentation before ordering. Confirm that the specified load capacitance matches the host circuit design requirements. Ensure compatibility with standard reflow soldering profiles for surface-mount assembly processes. Cross-reference availability through authorized distributors to confirm current stock status and lead times.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 32 MHz reference signal is required within a 1.6x1.2 mm SMD envelope. Consider the ±10 ppm stability specification relative to system timing accuracy needs. Evaluate the 8 pF load capacitance requirement against the internal or external capacitors used in the oscillator circuit. Assess the -30°C to +85°C operating range against the intended environmental conditions of the final application.

Part Context

This crystal belongs to the QT161S series of seam-seal MHz quartz crystals produced by QST Products, LLC. The series offers various frequency options within a standardized small outline package. These components are commonly utilized in portable devices and embedded systems where size reduction and reliable performance are critical design constraints.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other manufacturers offering identical 32 MHz, 8 pF, 1.6x1.2 mm seam-seal crystals with ±10 ppm stability. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical parameters before substitution.
