QT532S-10.000MAAE-T

Overview

The QST QT532S-10.000MAAE-T is a surface-mount quartz crystal operating at a fundamental frequency of 10 MHz. It features a frequency tolerance and stability of ±30 ppm within an operating temperature range of -20°C to 70°C. The component utilizes a 4-SMD, no-lead package with physical dimensions of 5.0 x 3.2 x 0.9 mm. Key electrical specifications include a load capacitance of 12 pF and an equivalent series resistance (ESR) of 80 Ohms.

Feature Summary

• Fundamental mode operation for precise timing applications
• Surface-mount design compatible with automated assembly processes
• Defined load capacitance and ESR characteristics

Applications

• General-purpose clock signal generation in consumer electronics
• Timing references for microcontroller systems
• Communication interface synchronization circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'AAE' against official QST documentation to confirm the exact frequency tolerance and temperature range. Ensure that the required load capacitance matches the target circuit design. Confirm package compatibility with existing PCB footprints before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 10 MHz fundamental frequency is required with ±30 ppm stability. Consider the -20°C to 70°C operating range for suitability in commercial environments. Evaluate the 12 pF load capacitance requirement against the system's input capacitance to ensure accurate frequency performance.

Part Context

This part belongs to the QT532S series of surface-mount crystals from QST. The series offers various frequencies and tolerances within a compact 5.0 x 3.2 mm footprint. It serves as a standard timing element for applications requiring reliable oscillator references without the complexity of active oscillators.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other 10 MHz crystals with identical 12 pF load capacitance and similar ESR values. Verify that alternative parts meet the same ±30 ppm tolerance and -20°C to 70°C temperature range requirements.
