QT532S-36.000MAAE-T

Overview

The QT532S-36.000MAAE-T is a quartz crystal resonator manufactured by QST, operating at a fundamental frequency of 36 MHz with a tolerance of ±10 ppm. It utilizes a 4-SMD, No Lead package measuring 5x3.2x0.9 mm and supports a load capacitance of 10 pF. The component functions in third overtone mode and maintains stability within ±10 ppm across an operating temperature range of -20°C to +70°C.

Feature Summary

• Third overtone operation for precise frequency generation
• Compact surface-mount design without lead frames
• Stable performance across industrial temperature ranges

Applications

• Clock signal generation in digital communication systems
• Frequency reference sources for microcontroller units
• Timing circuits in consumer electronic devices

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official QST documentation to ensure correct frequency tolerance and temperature range specifications. Confirm that the 4-SMD no-lead package matches your PCB footprint requirements. Cross-reference the datasheet for reflow soldering profiles to prevent thermal damage during assembly processes.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 36 MHz third overtone resonance is required with high stability. Ensure the circuit design accommodates the 10 pF load capacitance specification. Verify that the operating environment stays within the -20°C to +70°C range to maintain the specified ±10 ppm accuracy throughout the device's lifecycle.

Part Context

This part belongs to the QT532S series of quartz crystals from QST. The series offers various frequencies and tolerances in a standardized small outline package. The MAAT suffix indicates specific electrical characteristics including the ±10 ppm tolerance and industrial temperature rating, distinguishing it from other variants in the family.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 36 MHz frequency, third overtone mode, 10 pF load capacitance, and 4-SMD no-lead package dimensions. Verify equivalent stability ratings and operating temperature ranges before integration.
