QT325S-24.000METE-T

Overview

The QT325S-24.000METE-T is a quartz crystal oscillator manufactured by QST, operating at a nominal frequency of 24 MHz. It features a surface-mount package with dimensions of 3.2 mm x 2.5 mm and a height of 0.7 mm. The component utilizes a seam seal construction for environmental protection. It offers a frequency tolerance and stability of ±10 ppm at 25°C and ±10 ppm over the temperature range of -30°C to +85°C. The load capacitance is specified as 12 pF, with an equivalent series resistance (ESR) of 50 Ohms.

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation carefully, as this part number is associated with both TXC Corporation and QST in public databases. Confirm the specific datasheet version required for your application to ensure accurate electrical parameters. Check RoHS compliance status directly from the official documentation before finalizing procurement decisions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 24 MHz reference is required in a compact 3.2x2.5 mm footprint. Ensure the circuit design supports a 12 pF load capacitance to maintain accuracy. Verify that the operating environment falls within the -30°C to +85°C range to guarantee the specified ±10 ppm stability performance.

Part Context

This crystal belongs to the QT325S series, which represents a line of miniature surface-mount quartz resonators. The series is characterized by its small physical profile and robust seam seal technology. These components are designed for applications requiring precise timing in space-constrained electronic devices.

Replacement Considerations

Public data indicates the QT325S-24.000METC-T as a potential variant within the same series. Verify pin compatibility and exact electrical specifications against the target datasheet before substitution.
