QT216S-24.576MAAV-T

Overview

The QT216S-24.576MAAV-T is a seam-sealed MHz quartz crystal manufactured by TXC Corporation, distributed under the QST brand. It operates at a fundamental frequency of 24.576 MHz with an 8 pF load capacitance and 90 Ohm series resistance. The component features ±30 ppm frequency tolerance at 25°C and ±30 ppm stability across the -20°C to +70°C temperature range. Packaged in a compact 4-pin CSMD surface-mount format measuring 2.0 x 1.6 mm, it ensures reliable performance for precision timing applications.

Feature Summary

• Seam-sealed construction for environmental protection
• Fundamental mode operation for stable oscillation
• Compact 4-pin surface-mount design

Applications

• Precision clock generation circuits
• Microcontroller system timing
• Communication module synchronization

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation as TXC Corporation when sourcing this QST-branded component. Confirm the specific suffix AAV-T matches the required seam-sealed package and ceramic base specifications. Ensure the load capacitance and stability ratings align with the target circuit design requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring fundamental frequency stability within tight ppm limits. The 8 pF load capacitance must match the oscillator circuit design. Consider the -20°C to +70°C operating range for industrial or commercial environments where standard consumer-grade crystals may not suffice.

Part Context

This part belongs to the QT216S series of seam-sealed quartz crystals. It shares the 2.0 x 1.6 mm footprint with other variants in the family but differs in frequency and electrical parameters. The series is designed for high-reliability timing needs in space-constrained electronic devices.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other QT216S series crystals with identical 24.576 MHz frequency and ±30 ppm stability. Verify that replacement parts maintain the same 8 pF load capacitance and 4-pin CSMD package dimensions to ensure mechanical compatibility.
