Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix AAV against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm exact mechanical dimensions and soldering profile requirements. Ensure that the selected variant matches the required load capacitance and frequency tolerance for the target circuit design. Cross-reference the RoHS compliance status with current regulatory standards before finalizing procurement decisions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 36 MHz fundamental frequency is required with ±30 ppm stability. The 8 pF load capacitance must align with the host oscillator circuit design. Consider the -20°C to +70°C temperature range suitability for the intended environment. The 4-SMD package requires compatible surface mount assembly equipment and reflow soldering profiles.

Part Context

This part belongs to the QT216S series of surface-mount crystals from QST Products. The series offers various frequencies and stability options within a standardized small footprint. The 36.000MAAV-T variant specifically targets applications requiring precise timing at 36 MHz with moderate stability requirements in consumer and industrial devices.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 36 MHz crystals with identical 4-SMD packages and 8 pF load capacitance. Verify equivalent ESR values and frequency stability tolerances. Check compatibility with existing PCB footprints and reflow soldering temperatures before substitution.
