The ECS-80-20-4VX is a through-hole quartz crystal with a low profile of 2.3 mm maximum, designed for stable frequency operation in electronic circuits. It operates within a frequency range of 7.000 to 8.999 MHz with a maximum equivalent series resistance of 80 Ω in fundamental mode, and uses a load capacitance of 20 pF as specified in the part number. The frequency tolerance is ±30 ppm at +25°C and stability is ±50 ppm over the operating temperature range of -10°C to +70°C. The drive level is 500 μW, shunt capacitance is 5 pF, and aging is ±5 ppm in the first year at +25°C. The device is RoHS compliant, has an MSL 1 rating, and uses a resistance weld seal. Storage temperature ranges from -55°C to +125°C. The part number format indicates a 2.3 mm low-profile case with standard tolerance and stability.
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.
