The **MHO+63FCG-R** is a specific part number typically associated with **MHO+ Series Crystal Oscillators** manufactured by companies like MtronPTI. These are high-reliability timing components used in various electronic circuits. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications Overview The part number follows a specific nomenclature that defines its electrical characteristics: | Feature | Specification | Description | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Component Type** | XO (Crystal Oscillator) | Provides a fixed frequency clock signal. | | **Output Type** | HCMOS / TTL | Compatible with standard logic levels. | | **Package Style** | 14-pin DIP (Half-Size) | Through-hole mounting, metal canister. | | **Voltage Supply** | 5.0V (Typical) | Standard operating voltage for the MHO series. | | **Frequency Range** | Variable | Specific to the user's requirement (e.g., 1MHz to 150MHz). | | **RoHS Status** | Compliant (-R) | Lead-free and environmentally friendly. | --- ### 2. Detailed Part Number Breakdown The alphanumeric code provides specific details about the component's tolerance and environmental ratings: * **MHO+**: The series name (High reliability, HCMOS/TTL compatible). * **6**: Usually denotes the frequency stability (e.g., ±25ppm or ±50ppm depending on the specific datasheet revision). * **3**: Represents the operating temperature range (Commonly -40°C to +85°C for industrial grade). * **F**: Often signifies the "Tristate" function (allows the output to be disconnected/high-impedance). * **CG**: Internal manufacturer codes for symmetry and packaging. * **-R**: RoHS Compliant. --- ### 3. Key Electronic Features * **Clock Generation:** It acts as the "heartbeat" for microprocessors, FPGAs, and digital signal processors. * **Hermetically Sealed:** The metal casing is usually resistance-welded to protect the quartz crystal from moisture and atmospheric contaminants, ensuring long-term frequency stability. * **Low Jitter:** Designed to provide a clean square wave with minimal timing variations. --- ### 4. Typical Applications These oscillators are found in robust electronics where through-hole mounting is preferred over surface mount (SMD) for mechanical strength: 1. **Industrial Control Systems:** PLC units and factory automation. 2. **Telecommunications:** Base stations and networking hardware. 3. **Embedded Systems:** Legacy hardware designs and prototyping. --- ### 5. Schematic Connection Example Typical pinout for a 4-pin (half-size DIP) oscillator: ```text Pin 1: NC or Tristate (Enable/Disable) Pin 7: Ground (GND) Pin 8: Output (Clock Signal) Pin 14: Vcc (+5.0V) ```
