Based on your query, the part number **MHO+34FAAG-R** typically refers to a **Quartz Crystal Oscillator** produced by **Mercury Electronic**. Below is a detailed breakdown of its electronic specifications and characteristics based on the standard naming conventions for this series. --- ## 1. Component Overview The **MHO series** consists of high-quality crystal oscillators designed for through-hole mounting. These components provide a stable clock signal for microprocessors and digital circuits. | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Type** | Crystal Oscillator (SPXO) | | **Package Style** | Half-Size DIL (8-pin footprint, 4 pins used) | | **Mounting Type** | Through-Hole (THT) | | **Output Type** | CMOS / TTL Compatible | | **Lead Status** | RoHS Compliant (indicated by -R) | --- ## 2. Technical Specifications While the specific frequency is usually printed on the casing separately, the suffix **34FAAG** identifies the electrical behavior and tolerances. ### Key Parameters * **Operating Voltage (3):** Typically signifies **3.3V DC** operation (though in some Mercury codes, it can represent a specific voltage tolerance). * **Frequency Stability (4):** Represents the stability over temperature, often **±50ppm** or **±100ppm**. * **Operating Temperature (FAAG):** * **F:** Industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C). * **AAG:** Specific internal coding for output symmetry and rise/fall time requirements. * **Enable/Disable Function:** Usually features a "Tri-state" function on Pin 1, allowing the output to be turned off to save power. --- ## 3. Pin Configuration (Half-Size DIL) These oscillators utilize a standard 4-pin layout within an 8-pin DIP footprint. | Pin Number | Function | Description | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **1** | NC / Tri-State | No connection or Output Enable/Disable | | **4** | GND | Circuit Ground | | **5** | Output | Clock Signal Output | | **8** | VDD | Power Supply (+3.3V or +5V) | --- ## 4. Common Applications * **Embedded Systems:** Providing master clocks for MCUs. * **Networking:** Timing for Ethernet and data communication hardware. * **Industrial Control:** Stable timing for PLC units and sensors. * **Consumer Electronics:** Used in devices requiring a precise time base. ---
