QT216S-54.000METI-T

Overview

The QT216S-54.000METI-T is a surface-mount crystal oscillator manufactured by QST Products, LLC. It operates at a fundamental frequency of 54.000 MHz and utilizes an SMD package with dimensions of 2.0 x 1.6 x 0.5 mm. The component features a load capacitance of 12 pF and an equivalent series resistance of 90 Ohms. Frequency stability is rated at ±30 ppm over the operating temperature range of -30°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Compact 2.0x1.6mm surface-mount footprint for space-constrained designs
• Stable frequency output suitable for general-purpose timing applications
• Operates within standard industrial temperature ranges

Applications

• Low-power embedded system timing sources
• General-purpose clock generation in consumer electronics
• Microcontroller peripheral synchronization

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix METI-T against official QST documentation to confirm exact electrical parameters and packaging specifications. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints and thermal management requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 54 MHz reference signal is required in a minimal SMD form factor. Consider the ±30 ppm stability rating against system jitter tolerance requirements and verify that the 12 pF load capacitance matches the host circuit design.

Part Context

This part belongs to the QT216S series of quartz crystals offered by QST Products. The series provides various frequency options within a standardized 2.0x1.6mm package, allowing designers to maintain consistent board layouts across different product variants while adjusting only the frequency specification.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 54 MHz crystals in identical 2.0x1.6mm packages with matching ±30 ppm stability and 12 pF load capacitance. Verify pinout compatibility and mounting style before integrating alternative manufacturers.
