The **MHO+13TFG-R** is a specific series classification for a **Crystal Oscillator**, typically manufactured by companies like Jauch Quartz or similar electronic component providers. It is a frequency control component used to generate a precise clock signal for digital circuits. --- ## 1. Technical Specifications The part number represents a specific configuration of electrical characteristics. Below is a breakdown of the typical specifications for this series: | Parameter | Typical Value | | :--- | :--- | | **Component Type** | Quartz Crystal Oscillator (SPXO) | | **Package / Case** | DIL-14 (Full size) or DIL-8 (Half size) Through-hole | | **Supply Voltage (Vcc)** | +5.0V DC (Standard for MHO series) | | **Output Type** | HCMOS / TTL Compatible | | **Frequency Stability** | ±25ppm to ±100ppm (Depending on specific suffix) | | **Operating Temperature** | -10°C to +70°C (Standard Industrial) | | **RoHS Status** | Compliant (Indicated by the "R" suffix) | --- ## 2. Part Number Breakdown While manufacturer codes vary slightly, the "MHO" prefix generally follows this logic: * **MHO**: Series identifier for a 5V Crystal Oscillator in a metal "DIP" style package. * **+**: Often indicates a specific lead-free or enhanced performance designation. * **13**: Refers to the frequency stability (e.g., 1 = ±100ppm, 3 = ±50ppm) or a specific output load configuration. * **T**: Indicates the output logic type (T = TTL/CMOS compatible). * **FG**: Often refers to the frequency range or "Fast Growth" manufacturing process. * **R**: **RoHS Compliant**. This ensures the part is manufactured without hazardous substances like lead. --- ## 3. Physical Characteristics & Pinout The MHO series usually comes in a 4-pin metal can (though it sits in a 14-pin DIL footprint). ### Pin Configuration | Pin Number | Function | Description | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **1** | NC or E/D | No connection or Tri-state Enable/Disable | | **7** | GND | Ground connection | | **8** | Output | The generated frequency square wave | | **14** | Vcc | +5V Power Supply | --- ## 4. Common Applications This component is used in legacy and industrial hardware where stable timing is required: * **Microprocessor Clocks:** Providing the base heartbeat for CPUs. * **Communication Equipment:** Synchronizing data transmission in modems or routers. * **Industrial Control:** Timing for PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers). * **Embedded Systems:** Used on motherboards and timing critical PCBs.
