The **MHO+52FAD-R** is a specific series of high-precision, high-stability **Crystal Oscillators** manufactured by **MtronPTI**. These components are widely used in telecommunications and aerospace applications where timing accuracy is critical. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications Below are the primary technical characteristics of the MHO+ series: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Component Type** | Crystal Oscillator (XO) | | **Package Style** | 14-pin DIP (Full size or Half size compatibility) | | **Supply Voltage (Vcc)** | Typically 5.0V (Standard for '5' series) | | **Output Type** | HCMOS / TTL Compatible | | **Frequency Range** | Usually ranges from 1.000 MHz to 150.000 MHz | | **Stability** | Generally ±25ppm to ±100ppm (Depending on specific suffix) | | **Operating Temp** | -40°C to +85°C (Industrial Grade) | --- ### 2. Breakdown of the Part Number The alphanumeric code provides specific details about the manufacturing standards: * **MHO:** Identifies the product series (Metal Hybrid Oscillator). * **5:** Indicates the operating voltage (5V). * **2:** Often denotes the stability/temperature tolerance (e.g., ±50ppm). * **F:** Frequency stability/Operating temperature range code. * **AD:** Package type or specific pinout configuration. * **R:** Indicates **RoHS Compliance** (Lead-free). --- ### 3. Key Electronic Features * **Tri-State Functionality:** Most models in this series include an enable/disable function on Pin 1. This allows the output to be placed in a high-impedance state, reducing power consumption when the clock signal is not needed. * **Hermetically Sealed:** The internal quartz crystal is housed in a metal "Can" package, which is vacuum-sealed or filled with inert gas to prevent aging caused by moisture or oxidation. * **Low Jitter:** Designed for high-speed data applications where timing "noise" (jitter) must be kept to a minimum to avoid data errors. --- ### 4. Common Applications Due to its robust 14-pin DIP design, this part is frequently found in: 1. **Legacy Industrial Equipment:** Replacing older timing circuits in PLCs or controllers. 2. **Network Hardware:** Hubs, routers, and switches requiring a stable master clock. 3. **Test & Measurement:** Oscilloscopes and signal generators. 4. **Embedded Systems:** Microcontrollers requiring an external high-accuracy clock source.
