The **MHO+44TCG-R** is a specific series of high-precision crystal oscillators manufactured by **MtronPTI**. These components are typically used in telecommunications, networking, and industrial applications where timing and frequency stability are critical. --- ### 1. Key Technical Specifications The part number follows a specific nomenclature. Here is a breakdown of the typical characteristics for the MHO series: | Parameter | Specification (Typical) | | :--- | :--- | | **Component Type** | XO (Crystal Oscillator) | | **Package Style** | 14-pin DIP (Full size) / Through-hole | | **Output Type** | HCMOS / TTL Compatible | | **Voltage Supply** | 5.0V (Standard for MHO series) | | **Frequency Range** | 1.0 MHz to 100.0 MHz (Specific to exact model) | | **Operating Temperature** | -40°C to +85°C (Industrial Grade) | | **RoHS Status** | Compliant (Indicated by the "R" suffix) | --- ### 2. Functional Features The MHO+44TCG-R is designed for reliability in demanding environments. Its core features include: * **Tight Stability:** These oscillators offer low parts-per-million (ppm) frequency drift over temperature changes. * **Tri-State Functionality:** The "T" in the suffix often indicates **Tri-state** (Enable/Disable) capability. This allows the output to be placed in a high-impedance state, which is useful for testing or power-saving modes. * **Rugged Construction:** Being a through-hole DIP package, it provides superior mechanical stability compared to small surface-mount devices (SMD) in high-vibration environments. * **Hermetic Sealing:** The metal case is hermetically sealed to protect the internal quartz crystal from moisture and atmospheric contaminants. --- ### 3. Pin Configuration (Standard 14-Pin DIP) While it uses a 14-pin footprint, only 4 pins are usually active: | Pin Number | Function | Description | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **1** | N/C or Tri-State | Enable/Disable control | | **7** | Ground | Case and circuit ground | | **8** | Output | Frequency output signal | | **14** | Vcc | +5.0V Power Supply | --- ### 4. Common Applications * **Networking Gear:** Routers, switches, and gateways requiring a steady heartbeat for data processing. * **Industrial Control:** PLCs and automation equipment operating in wide temperature ranges. * **Legacy Systems:** Replacement parts for older PCB designs that utilize full-size DIP oscillator sockets.
