QT252S-16.000MEEV-T

Overview

The QT252S-16.000MEEV-T is a quartz crystal resonator manufactured by QST Products, LLC. It operates at a fundamental frequency of 16 MHz with a load capacitance of 8 pF. The component exhibits a frequency stability of ±10 ppm at 25°C and ±10 ppm across the operating temperature range of -20°C to +70°C. It utilizes a 4-SMD, No Lead package with dimensions of 2.50mm x 2.00mm.

Feature Summary

• Seam seal construction for environmental protection
• High frequency stability within specified temperature ranges
• Compact surface-mount footprint suitable for space-constrained designs

Applications

• Microcontroller clock sources
• Communication module timing references
• Digital signal processing circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify manufacturer designation as QST Products, LLC, distinct from TXC Corporation listings found in some databases. Confirm package type is 4-SMD No Lead. Ensure load capacitance matches system requirements at 8 pF. Validate temperature rating covers operational extremes of -20°C to +70°C. Check current availability status as stock levels may vary.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 16 MHz reference with tight ±10 ppm stability is required. The 8 pF load capacitance must align with the oscillator circuit design. Consider the 2.50mm x 2.00mm size for PCB layout constraints. Verify thermal performance meets application needs within the -20°C to +70°C range.

Part Context

This part belongs to the QT252S series of seam seal crystals from QST. The series offers various frequencies and stability options. The specific model provides a balance of precision and compactness for modern electronic assemblies requiring reliable timing signals.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 16 MHz crystals with identical 8 pF load capacitance and ±10 ppm stability. Compatible packages include 4-SMD No Lead form factors. Cross-reference with QT252S variants from other manufacturers if supply chain adjustments are necessary.
