The **MHO+14FBD-R** is a specific series of **Crystal Oscillators** (XO) manufactured by **MtronPTI**. These components are precision timing devices used to provide a stable clock signal for electronic circuits. --- ### 1. Part Number Breakdown The part number follows a specific nomenclature used by MtronPTI to define the technical characteristics of the component: | Segment | Meaning | Specification for this Part | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **MHO** | Series Name | MHO Series (Through-hole HC/49U or 14-pin DIP style) | | **+** | RoHS Compliance | Lead-free / RoHS Compliant | | **14** | Package Type | 14-pin DIP (Full size) footprint | | **F** | Voltage Support | Typically 5.0V DC Operation | | **B** | Stability | Frequency stability (e.g., ±50 ppm or ±100 ppm depending on sub-datasheet) | | **D** | Duty Cycle | Tight symmetry (45/55%) | | **-R** | Packaging | Refers to RoHS compliance or specific revision | --- ### 2. Technical Specifications These oscillators are known for their reliability in legacy and industrial systems. * **Output Type:** TTL / CMOS Compatible. * **Package Shape:** 14-Pin DIP (rectangular metal can). Though it has 14 pins in its footprint, usually only 4 pins are actually present (Pins 1, 7, 8, and 14). * **Frequency Range:** Available in various frequencies (the specific MHz value is usually printed after the part number). * **Operating Temperature:** Generally 0°C to +70°C (standard) or -40°C to +85°C (industrial). * **Supply Voltage:** 5.0 VDC ± 10%. --- ### 3. Pinout Configuration For a standard 14-pin DIP Crystal Oscillator like the MHO+14 series: | Pin Number | Function | Description | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **1** | N/C or Tri-state | No connection or Output Enable/Disable | | **7** | GND | Circuit Ground/Case Ground | | **8** | Output | The generated clock signal (Square Wave) | | **14** | Vcc | +5.0V Power Supply | --- ### 4. Common Applications * **Microprocessors:** Providing the base clock for CPUs. * **Embedded Systems:** Timing for microcontrollers and FPGAs. * **Telecommunications:** Synchronizing data transmission. * **Industrial Equipment:** Reliable timing in harsh electrical environments. ---
