The **MHO+36FBG-R** is a specific part number typically associated with **crystal oscillators** or specialized electronic frequency control components, often manufactured by companies like MtronPTI. Below is a detailed breakdown of the electronic specifications, characteristics, and typical applications for this component series. --- ### 1. General Specifications Based on the standard nomenclature for the MHO series, here are the technical parameters: | Parameter | Typical Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Component Type** | Crystal Oscillator (XO) | | **Package Type** | 14-pin DIP (Full Size) or 8-pin DIP (Half Size) | | **Output Type** | HCMOS / TTL Compatible | | **Operating Voltage** | 5.0V (Standard for MHO series) | | **Frequency Range** | Typically 1.000 MHz to 100.000 MHz | | **Stability** | ±25ppm to ±100ppm (depending on suffix) | | **RoHS Status** | Compliant (Indicated by "-R") | --- ### 2. Part Number Breakdown The alphanumeric code provides specific details about the component's build: * **MHO**: Represents the product series (Metal package, High-speed CMOS). * **+**: Often indicates a specific lead-free or improved process designation. * **3**: Usually designates the Operating Voltage (e.g., 3.3V or 5V depending on manufacturer charts). * **6**: Temperature Stability/Range code (Commonly 0°C to +70°C). * **FBG**: Internal factory codes for specific frequency, load capacitance, or duty cycle requirements. * **-R**: **RoHS Compliant**. This ensures the part is manufactured without hazardous substances like lead. --- ### 3. Key Electronic Characteristics * **Tri-State Function:** Most parts in this series feature an "Enable/Disable" function on Pin 1. This allows the output to be placed in a high-impedance state, reducing power consumption. * **Hermetic Sealing:** The part is housed in a metal "Can" package, which is resistance-welded to protect the quartz crystal from humidity and atmospheric contaminants. * **Low Jitter:** Designed for clocking digital circuits where timing precision is critical. --- ### 4. Typical Applications The MHO series is widely used in legacy and industrial electronics due to its robust through-hole design: 1. **Microprocessor Clocking:** Providing the master heartbeat for CPUs and MCUs. 2. **Networking Hardware:** Hubs, routers, and switches. 3. **Industrial Control:** PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers) and automation equipment. 4. **Embedded Systems:** Reliable timing for long-lifecycle industrial boards. --- ### 5. Pin Configuration (Standard 14-Pin DIP) Even though it is a "14-pin" size, usually only 4 pins are present: | Pin Number | Function | | :--- | :--- | | **1** | NC (No Connection) or Tri-state Enable | | **7** | Case Ground (GND) | | **8** | Output (Signal) | | **14** | Supply Voltage (Vcc) |
