The ECS-122.8-S-4X is a through-hole quartz crystal in the HC-49USX series, designed for stable frequency reference in electronic circuits. It features a low-profile resistance weld package with dimensions consistent with the HC-49USX form factor and uses 3rd overtone oscillation at 12.288 MHz, with a maximum equivalent series resistance of 120 Ω. The crystal supports a load capacitance specified in the part number, operates within a temperature range of -10°C to +70°C, and offers a frequency stability of ±50 ppm over that range. It meets RoHS compliance, has a drive level of 500 μW, shunt capacitance of 7 pF, and an aging rate of ±5 ppm over the first year at +25°C. The part is rated for reflow soldering with a peak temperature of 260°C for 10 seconds and has a moisture sensitivity level of 1.
Despite the rise in popularity of surface mount technology (SMT) in passive components, through hole packaging has remained an industry staple for eight decades for a reason. The simplicity and efficacy of this technology, along with its ability to be incorporated into a vast array of designs, make it an excellent choice for many different applications.
Crystals with through hole packing are ideal for larger components that will undergo a significant amount of mechanical stress, high voltage, and/or high power. This is because through hole soldering results in a stronger bond between the passive components and the circuit board. Example applications include transformers, connectors, semiconductors and electrolytic capacitors.
Other advantages to using through hole-mounted components include the compact design to decrease the component’s footprint on the circuit board, exceptional shock and vibration resistance, low frequencies and options for industrial temperature ranges and excellent aging and component longevity and durability.
