Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer designation on the component marking to distinguish between QST and TXC variants, as both utilize this part number format. Confirm that the required operating temperature range aligns with the -20°C to +70°C specification associated with the MEEQ suffix. Ensure the load capacitance matches the target oscillator circuit design requirements before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 27.12 MHz reference is required in a minimal footprint. The ±10 ppm stability suits general-purpose digital systems. Consider the 10 pF load capacitance requirement for oscillator compatibility. Evaluate thermal constraints against the specified operating range.

Part Context

This part belongs to the QT216S series of thin metal case crystals. The series offers various frequencies and stability grades within a standardized 2016 package size. It serves as a timing element for oscillators requiring stable frequency generation in consumer and industrial electronics.
