The **MHO+24FFG-R** is a specific part number typically associated with **Quartz Crystal Oscillators**, often manufactured by companies like *Hosonic Electronic* or *Mercury Electronic*. This component is a frequency control device used to provide a stable clock signal for digital circuits. --- ### 1. Component Specification Table | Feature | Description | | :--- | :--- | | **Component Type** | Quartz Crystal Oscillator (SPXO) | | **Frequency** | 24.000 MHz (Megahertz) | | **Package Type** | DIP-14 (Full-size) or DIP-8 (Half-size) - Metal Can | | **Supply Voltage** | Typically 5.0V (Standard for MHO series) | | **Output Type** | TTL / HCMOS Compatible | | **Frequency Stability** | Usually ±25ppm to ±100ppm | | **Operating Temperature** | Commercial (0°C to +70°C) or Industrial (-40°C to +85°C) | | **RoHS Status** | Compliant (Indicated by the "R" suffix) | --- ### 2. Breakdown of the Part Number The alphanumeric string follows a specific manufacturer coding logic: * **MHO:** Series prefix (Metal Hollow Oscillator), typically indicating a standard 14-pin or 8-pin DIP metal package. * **24:** Represents the base frequency. In this case, **24.000 MHz**. * **FFG:** This is a manufacturer-specific code for internal parameters: * **F:** Frequency stability rating. * **F:** Operating temperature range. * **G:** Output load or Duty Cycle specifications. * **R:** Indicates **RoHS Compliance** (Lead-free). --- ### 3. Key Electronic Functions 1. **Clock Generation:** It acts as the "heartbeat" for microcontrollers, FPGAs, and communication ICs. 2. **Active Component:** Unlike a passive 2-pin crystal, this is an **Oscillator**. It contains the quartz crystal PLUS the oscillation circuitry (transistors/capacitors) inside the metal can. 3. **Signal Integrity:** The metal casing provides EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) shielding, ensuring the clock signal remains clean and stable despite surrounding electronic noise. --- ### 4. Pin Configuration (Typical DIP-14) * **Pin 1:** NC (No Connection) or Tri-state Control (Enable/Disable). * **Pin 7:** Ground (GND). * **Pin 8:** Output (Square Wave signal). * **Pin 14:** Supply Voltage (Vcc / +5V). ---
