Procurement Notes

Verify the complete part number including suffixes against official QST documentation to ensure correct frequency, stability, and packaging specifications. Confirm that the supplier provides genuine components with traceable manufacturing data. Request updated datasheets to validate current production status and environmental compliance certifications prior to final procurement decisions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 13.56 MHz signal is required for RFID or NFC applications. Ensure the operating environment stays within the -20°C to +70°C range to maintain the specified ±20 ppm stability. Verify that the circuit load capacitance matches the 12 pF requirement to prevent frequency deviation during operation.

Part Context

This model belongs to the QT325S series of quartz crystals from QST. The series offers various frequency options and stability grades tailored for consumer electronics and telecommunications. The specific suffix indicates the frequency, stability class, and tape-and-reel packaging configuration.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference tools may suggest parametrically similar parts from other manufacturers. Verify that any substitute matches the 13.560 MHz frequency, 12 pF load capacitance, and ±20 ppm stability requirements. Ensure physical dimensions and pin compatibility are identical for direct replacement.
