Fox Electronics has extended the frequency range and stability options of its popular F4100 Series crystal oscillators to 170MHz with stabilities as tight as +50ppm (F4105) for all conditions.
Fox's all-quartz packaging technology provides a cost reduction of up to 20% or more over conventional ceramic packaging, as well as eliminates the recurring problems of ceramic shortages.
The new crystals yield costs savings of 15% in quantities of 10,000 to 20,000 and savings of 20% in quantities of 50,000 and above.
In addition, compared with ceramic packaging, the FQ series offers a lighter weight and a lower profile.
The FQ5032 is available in frequencies from 12 to 50MHz, with a +/-30ppm tolerance at 25C.
Standard stability is +/-30ppm at temperatures from 0 to 70C, with tighter stabilities available on special order.
Extended temperature versions for use from -40 to +85C are also available.
The new FQ5032 is fully RoHS compliant, offers complete pad compatibility with existing ceramic packages, and is available in two- or four-pad configurations.
Pricing for a 5.0 x 3.2mm FQ5032 crystal with a frequency of 20MHz is $0.25 each in quantities of 50,000.
Delivery is six to eight weeks ARO.
