QT216G-32.000MEIB-T

Overview

The QST QT216G-32.000MEIB-T is a surface-mount quartz crystal resonator operating at a fundamental frequency of 32 MHz. It features a compact 2.0 x 1.6 mm package with a height of 0.6 mm. The component exhibits a load capacitance of 6 pF and an equivalent series resistance of 120 Ohms. Frequency tolerance is specified at ±10 ppm at 25°C, with stability maintained within ±20 ppm across the industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Compact 2.0x1.6mm SMD footprint for space-constrained designs
• High frequency stability with ±10ppm initial tolerance
• Industrial temperature range operation from -40°C to +85°C
• Glass seal construction for environmental robustness

Applications

• Embedded communication modules requiring precise clocking
• Microcontroller system clocks
• Portable electronic devices with limited board space
• Industrial control systems operating in variable temperatures

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix MEIB-T against your bill of materials to ensure correct load capacitance (6pF) and tolerance specifications. Confirm that the 2.0x1.6mm package dimensions align with your PCB land pattern requirements. Check for any specific reflow soldering profile recommendations provided by the manufacturer to ensure joint integrity during assembly processes.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a small form factor is critical alongside high frequency accuracy. The 6pF load capacitance requires matching circuit design; verify external capacitors match this value. Consider the ±20ppm stability over temperature if the application environment experiences significant thermal fluctuations compared to standard commercial grade parts.

Part Context

This part belongs to the QT216G series of miniature quartz crystals manufactured by QST. The series is characterized by its glass-seal technology and small outline package, designed for modern electronics where board real estate is limited. It serves as a primary timekeeping element for digital circuits requiring stable oscillation frequencies.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 32MHz crystals in 2.0x1.6mm packages with 6pF load capacitance and similar stability ratings. Ensure replacement parts maintain the same frequency tolerance and temperature range specifications to guarantee system performance compatibility without redesigning the oscillator circuit.
