ECS-1x5X is a 32.768 kHz tuning fork crystal designed for clock sources in communication equipment, measuring instruments, and microprocessors, with low power consumption suitable for portable devices. It is packaged in a 1x5 mm through-hole format and operates from -10 to +60 °C. Load capacitance is 8.0 pF, frequency tolerance is ±20 ppm, and maximum drive level is 1 µW. Resistance at series resonance is 40 kΩ maximum. The device meets RoHS compliance, has an insulation resistance of 500 MΩ minimum at 100 V DC, and exhibits ±3 ppm maximum aging over the first year at +25 °C. Shock resistance is ±5 ppm after three drops from 75 cm. It has a turnover temperature of +25 °C ±5 °C and a temperature coefficient of -0.040 ppm/°C². The solder profile peaks at +260 °C for 10 seconds with a maximum of two cycles and is MSL 1 with Sn/Cu matte finish.
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.
