QT216S-48.000METV-T

Overview

The QT216S-48.000METV-T is a 48 MHz quartz crystal resonator manufactured by QST. It features a frequency tolerance and stability of ±10ppm at 25°C, with an equivalent series resistance (ESR) of 50 ohms maximum. The component operates within a temperature range of -30°C to +85°C and utilizes a load capacitance of 12pF. It is housed in a compact 4-SMD, no lead package measuring 2.0mm x 1.6mm, designed for surface-mount assembly in timing circuits requiring precise clock signals.

Feature Summary

• Provides stable 48 MHz oscillation with ±10ppm frequency accuracy
• Compact 4-SMD no-lead surface mount package design
• Operates reliably across extended industrial temperature ranges

Applications

• Microcontroller clock sources
• Communication interface timing
• Embedded system synchronization

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix METV-T against official QST documentation to confirm specific tolerance and packaging details. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprint and reflow soldering profiles. Cross-reference datasheet parameters for load capacitance and ESR requirements before integration into final designs.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 48 MHz reference signal is required with tight frequency stability. Consider the 12pF load capacitance requirement for circuit matching. Evaluate the 4-SMD package size constraints against available board space. Confirm temperature range suitability for the intended operational environment.

Part Context

This part belongs to the QT216S series of surface-mount crystals from QST. The series offers various frequencies and packages for timing applications. The 48 MHz variant provides a common clock frequency for digital systems. The METV-T suffix denotes specific performance characteristics within the product line.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes with identical 48 MHz frequency, 12pF load capacitance, and 4-SMD dimensions. Verify that alternative components meet the same ±10ppm stability and ESR specifications. Ensure thermal performance matches the original requirements.
