QT216G-32.000MEIJ-T

Overview

The QT216G-32.000MEIJ-T is a quartz crystal resonator manufactured by QST, designed for surface-mount applications. It operates at a fundamental frequency of 32 MHz with a load capacitance of 10 pF. The component features a ±20 ppm frequency stability across the commercial temperature range and ±30 ppm across the extended industrial range. It utilizes a glass-seal package construction in a compact 2.0 x 1.6 mm footprint, ensuring reliable performance in various electronic timing circuits.

Feature Summary

• Glass-seal construction for enhanced environmental stability
• Compact 2.0 x 1.6 mm surface-mount footprint
• High reliability suitable for consumer electronics

Applications

• Microcontroller clock sources

• Consumer electronics timing circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'T' indicates tape-and-reel packaging configuration when ordering. Confirm that the 10 pF load capacitance matches the oscillator circuit design requirements. Ensure the operating temperature range aligns with the target application environment to maintain specified frequency stability.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring a stable 32 MHz reference in space-constrained PCB layouts. The glass-seal technology offers superior protection against moisture and contaminants compared to standard epoxy packages. Consider the ±20 ppm tolerance for general-purpose timing applications where high precision is not critical.

Part Context

This part belongs to the QT216G series of quartz crystals from QST. The series is characterized by its small form factor and robust glass-seal manufacturing process. It serves as a direct replacement for other industry-standard 32 MHz SMD crystals with similar electrical parameters and mechanical dimensions.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include the QT216G-32.000MEEB-T and QT216G-32.000MDIE-T, provided the load capacitance and stability specifications meet the circuit requirements.
