Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix METV-T against official QST documentation to confirm the exact load capacitance and temperature rating. Ensure compatibility with reflow soldering profiles specified in the datasheet. Cross-reference part numbers carefully as minor suffix variations may indicate different electrical characteristics or packaging options. Confirm RoHS3 compliance status if required by project specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 32 MHz reference with ±10 ppm stability is required in a minimal footprint. Consider the 8 pF load capacitance requirement for circuit design matching. Evaluate thermal management needs given the -30°C to +85°C operating range. Compare against alternative crystals if tighter stability or different form factors are necessary for the target application.

Part Context

This part belongs to the QT216S series of surface-mount crystals from QST. The series offers various frequencies and packages optimized for consumer and industrial electronics. The 2.0x1.6mm size represents a standard small outline package balancing performance and board space efficiency.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 32 MHz crystals with identical 4-SMD no-lead footprints and ±10 ppm stability. Verify equivalent load capacitance and temperature ranges before substitution. Check manufacturer cross-reference lists for approved alternatives.
