Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer part number against official QST documentation to ensure authenticity. Confirm that the specific suffix matches the required electrical specifications, including voltage and frequency tolerance. Check RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the end product. Ensure the component is sourced from authorized distributors to avoid counterfeit parts.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 24.576 MHz reference is needed in a small form factor. The 3.3V supply requirement must align with the system power architecture. Consider the ±25 ppm stability for timing-critical designs. The CMOS output level should be compatible with the input thresholds of the receiving digital circuitry without additional buffering.

Part Context

This oscillator belongs to the QST SMD crystal oscillator family. These components provide stable clock signals for digital circuits. The model designation indicates specific electrical parameters and package type within the broader product line.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official cross-reference lists for direct substitutes. Verify that any replacement matches the 24.576 MHz frequency, 3.3V operation, and 3.2x2.5mm package dimensions. Ensure equivalent stability and output logic levels before substitution.
