Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation as TXC Corporation when sourcing this component through distributors like QST or Mouser. Confirm the specific ordering suffix matches the required tolerance and packaging configuration. Ensure the datasheet version aligns with current production specifications to avoid discrepancies in electrical parameters or mechanical dimensions during integration.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring precise 24 MHz timing within standard SMD footprint constraints. Evaluate the 40 Ohm ESR against oscillator circuit drive level requirements. Consider the 10 pF load capacitance compatibility with the host system's internal capacitors to ensure accurate frequency calibration without external trimming adjustments.

Part Context

This part belongs to the QT532S series of quartz crystals, which are designed for general-purpose timing applications. The series offers various frequency options within the same 5032-4P package form factor. It serves as a fundamental passive component for establishing clock signals in electronic devices requiring stable oscillation frequencies.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other 24 MHz crystals in the 5032-4P package with matching 10 pF load capacitance and ±10 ppm stability. Verify that alternative parts meet the same 40 Ohm maximum ESR specification to ensure circuit compatibility.
