QT325S-41.000MAAE-T

Overview

The QT325S-41.000MAAE-T is a surface-mount quartz crystal oscillator manufactured by QST Products, LLC. It operates at a nominal frequency of 41 MHz with a load capacitance of 12 pF. The component utilizes a seam seal package in a 4-SMD, No Lead configuration. Physical dimensions are 3.20mm x 2.50mm with a seated height of 0.7mm. Frequency stability is ±30ppm across the -20°C to +70°C operating temperature range and ±30ppm at 25°C.

Feature Summary

• Seam seal construction for environmental protection
• Surface mount design for automated assembly
• Compact footprint suitable for space-constrained PCB layouts

Applications

• Microcontroller clock sources
• Communication module timing references
• Consumer electronics oscillators

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'AAE' corresponds to the required ±30ppm stability and -20°C to +70°C temperature range. Confirm the manufacturer designation matches QST Products, LLC specifications. Ensure the 12pF load capacitance aligns with the target circuit design requirements before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 41 MHz reference signal is required in a compact SMD form factor. Consider the ±30ppm stability limit against system timing accuracy needs. Evaluate the 3.2x2.5mm package size against available board real estate constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the QT325S series of seam seal crystals. The series offers various frequencies and stability options. The 'QT325S' prefix indicates the physical package style, while numerical suffixes define frequency and tolerance characteristics within the product line.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other manufacturers offering 41 MHz crystals in 3.2x2.5mm SMD packages with 12pF load capacitance. Verify equivalent stability ratings and operating temperature ranges before substitution.
