The **MHO+32FAD-R** is a high-performance **Crystal Oscillator** manufactured by MtronPTI. This specific part belongs to the MHO+ series, which are typically high-stability, temperature-compensated (TCXO) or standard clock oscillators used in high-reliability applications. --- ### 1. Component Specifications The alphanumeric code "MHO+32FAD-R" identifies specific technical parameters: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | MtronPTI | | **Series** | MHO+ (HCMOS/TTL compatible) | | **Package Type** | 14-pin DIP (Dual In-line Package) - Full size metal can | | **Output Type** | HCMOS / TTL | | **Operating Voltage** | Typically 5.0V or 3.3V (standard for MHO series) | | **RoHS Status** | Compliant (Indicated by the "-R" suffix) | ### 2. Key Electronic Features * **Stability:** These oscillators are designed for low jitter and high frequency stability over a wide temperature range. * **Package Construction:** The "Full-Size" metal can provides excellent EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) shielding, protecting the internal quartz crystal from external noise. * **Hermetic Seal:** The metal housing is hermetically sealed to prevent moisture and atmospheric contaminants from affecting the crystal's vibration frequency. * **Compatibility:** Designed to drive multiple CMOS loads or several TTL gates without significant signal degradation. ### 3. Pinout Configuration (Standard 14-Pin DIP) While it uses a 14-pin footprint, usually only four pins are electrically active: | Pin Number | Function | Description | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **1** | NC / ED | No Connect or Output Enable/Disable | | **7** | GND | Case and Circuit Ground | | **8** | Output | The generated clock signal | | **14** | Vcc | Positive Power Supply | --- ### 4. Typical Applications The MHO+ series is commonly found in industrial and legacy computing environments due to its robust physical form factor: * **Networking Hardware:** Routers and switches requiring stable clock references. * **Embedded Systems:** Industrial controllers and automation logic. * **Test & Measurement:** Oscilloscopes and frequency counters. * **Legacy Hardware:** Maintenance and repair of older PCB designs that utilize through-hole components.
