The ECS-98.3-S-4X is a through-hole quartz crystal in the HC-49USX series, designed for stable frequency oscillation in electronic circuits. It has a 3.5 mm lead spacing and operates at 9.8304 MHz with a load capacitance specified as series, a frequency tolerance of ±15 ppm, and frequency stability of ±30 ppm over the temperature range of -10 to +70°C. The device uses a 3rd overtone mode with a maximum equivalent series resistance of 90 Ω, a drive level of 500 μW, and a shunt capacitance of 7 pF. It is RoHS compliant, has an MSL rating of 1, and is rated for storage between -55 and +125°C. The crystal is resistance welded and features a low-profile, thru-hole package.
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.
