Description
Vectron International has introduced a series of low-pro-
file, low cost,
surface mount, Temperature Compensated
Crystal Oscillators (TCXOs)
available in frequencies
from 10 MHz to 25 MHz.
The OSC series low-profile (0.09 inch maximum height),
surface mount TCXOs can be mounted using the stan-
dard convection reflow process. The units feature a
PPM frequency vs. temperature characteristic over a
to operating range and operate from a
3.0V or 5V supply. Current drain <2.0 mA. Aging
<1ppm/year and phase noise is -125 dBc/Hz at 100 Hz
and -150 dbc/Hz at 100 kHz.
The OSC series of TCXOs and TCVCXOs has been
designed for pick-and-place mounting and reflow sol-
dering. Units are available on tape-and-reel at no addi-
tional charge. The reel size is 2000 pcs. and is compati-
ble with EIAJ-1009B standards. The low-cost, miniature
units are ideal for wireless handsets, PCMCIA applica-
tions, and GPS receivers.

The OSC series of TCXO s and VCTCXO s has
been designed for pick and place and reflow sol-
dering. Units are available on
Tape and Reel
at
no additional charge when ordering a complete
reel. The reel size is 2000 pcs and is compatible
with EIAJ-1009B standards. The suggested
reflow profile is shown below. The TCXO may be
reflowed two times. Frequency shift as a result of
reflow will be <1.0PPM. Units should not be
adjusted to center frequencies until at least 2
hours after reflow to allow the crystals to stabilize.
The OSC footprint is compatible with many of the
previous generation 6 pin leaded TCXO s. Our
OSE
mod el is the same size as the OSC except it
provides the two additional pads to match pad con-
nections of 6 pin leaded TCXO s and VCTCXO s.
TCXO s are precision subsystems with tolerances
measured to Non-hermeti-
cally sealed TCXO s should not be subjected to a
wash process that will immerse the TCXO in sol-
vents.
No clean
is the recommended procedure.
