The **MHO+47TAD-R** is a specific part number typically associated with **Crystal Oscillators**, often manufactured by companies like MtronPTI. These components are essential in electronic circuits for generating stable clock signals. --- ### 1. Key Technical Specifications Below is a breakdown of the typical technical characteristics found in the MHO+ series: | Feature | Specification Details | | :--- | :--- | | **Component Type** | XO (Crystal Oscillator) | | **Package Style** | 14-pin DIP (Thru-hole) - often "Half Size" or "Full Size" metal can | | **Output Type** | CMOS / TTL Compatible | | **Voltage Supply** | Typically 5.0V (Standard for MHO series) | | **Frequency Stability** | Usually ±100ppm or tighter (depending on specific suffix) | | **Operating Temp** | 0°C to +70°C (Standard Commercial) | --- ### 2. Decoding the Part Number While nomenclature can vary slightly by manufacturer, the code usually breaks down as follows: 1. **MHO**: Represents the series (Metal Thru-Hole Oscillator). 2. **+**: Often indicates RoHS compliance (Lead-free). 3. **47**: This typically refers to the frequency stability or a specific voltage/output configuration (e.g., 5V CMOS). 4. **TAD**: These characters usually denote the internal logic type and the specific frequency calibration. 5. **R**: Indicates the part is shipped in specific packaging (like "Tube" or "Tray") or denotes a specific Revision/RoHS status. --- ### 3. Applications and Usage These oscillators are used in systems where a reliable "heartbeat" or timing pulse is required: * **Microprocessor Clocks:** Providing the base frequency for CPUs and MCUs. * **Networking Gear:** Timing for Ethernet controllers and routers. * **Industrial Control:** Synchronizing logic gates in PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) systems. * **Legacy Hardware:** Because of the 14-pin DIP package, these are frequently used in older hardware repairs or robust industrial equipment. --- ### 4. Physical Characteristics * **Housing:** Hermetically sealed metal case to protect the quartz crystal from environmental moisture and interference. * **Shielding:** The metal casing acts as a natural shield against Electromagnetic Interference (EMI). * **Mounting:** Designed for Through-Hole Technology (THT) on Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs).
