The **MHO+61FCG-R** is a specific type of **Crystal Oscillator** manufactured by MtronPTI. This component is crucial in electronic circuits for generating a precise, stable clock signal. --- ### 1. Key Technical Specifications The part number follows a specific nomenclature that defines its electronic characteristics. | Parameter | Specification | Details | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Component Type** | XO (Crystal Oscillator) | Fixed frequency output | | **Package Style** | 14-pin DIP (Full size) | Metal "can" package | | **Output Type** | HCMOS / TTL | Compatible with standard digital logic | | **Operating Voltage** | 5.0 VDC | Standard power supply for traditional logic | | **Frequency Stability** | ±100 ppm | Typical stability for this series | | **Operating Temp** | 0°C to +70°C | Commercial grade temperature range | | **RoHS Status** | Compliant (-R) | Lead-free construction | --- ### 2. Functional Description As an active component, the MHO+61FCG-R integrates several internal elements into a single shielded metal package: * **Quartz Crystal:** The vibrating element that determines the resonant frequency. * **Oscillator IC:** An internal circuit that provides the gain necessary to start and maintain oscillation. * **Output Buffer:** Ensures the signal is strong enough to drive multiple digital loads without distorting the waveform. * **Metal Shielding:** The package is grounded to minimize Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and protect the signal from external noise. --- ### 3. Pin Configuration (14-pin DIP Layout) Although it has a 14-pin footprint, usually only 4 pins are physically present or electrically active: | Pin Number | Function | Description | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **1** | NC / Tri-state | Often used for output enable/disable or left unconnected | | **7** | GND | System ground | | **8** | Output | The generated clock signal (Square wave) | | **14** | Vcc | +5.0V Power Supply | --- ### 4. Typical Applications This specific part is often found in "legacy" or industrial hardware due to its 5V operation and through-hole package: * **Microprocessor Clocks:** Providing the heartbeat for CPUs and MCUs. * **Networking Equipment:** Timing for data packet synchronization. * **Test & Measurement:** Stable references for frequency counters. * **Industrial Controllers:** Rugged timing in PLC or CNC environments.
