The ECS-3X10X series comprises miniature tubular quartz crystals designed for high-frequency applications, offering frequency ranges from 3.50 to 9.83 MHz with a load capacitance of 16 pF typical. The package measures 3x10 mm and operates from -10 to +60°C with a frequency stability of ±50 ppm over that range. It supports fundamental mode operation up to 10 MHz, with a maximum ESR of 100 Ω and a drive level of 50 to 100 μW. Additional features include ±5 ppm maximum aging over the first year, insulation resistance of 500 MΩ minimum at 100 V DC, and RoHS compliance. The crystal is rated for storage from -40 to +85°C and uses a Sn/Cu matte lead finish with MSL 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.
