Fox Expands New All-Quartz Crystal Packaging Technology to Include 5.0 mm x 3.2 mm Package Size
Fort Myers, FL, April 2005 - Fox Electronics, America's leading supplier of frequency control products, has expanded the recently released FQ series of all-quartz crystal packaging technology to include a 5.0 mm x 3.2 mm package size. The FQ5032, which boasts an extremely low profile of 0.8 mm, is ideal for a wide range of portable applications, including handheld devices such as such as PDA, MP3, scanners and GPS.
Fox's all-quartz packaging technology provides a cost reduction of up to 20% or more over conventional ceramic packaging, as well as eliminates the recurring problems of ceramic shortages. The new crystals yield costs savings of 15% in quantities of 10,000 to 20,000 and savings of 20% in quantities of 50,000 and above. In addition, compared to ceramic packaging, the FQ series offers a lighter weight and a lower profile.
The FQ5032 is available in frequencies from 12 MHz to 50 MHz, with a ±30 ppm tolerance at 25°C (77°F). Standard stability is ±30 ppm at temperatures from 0°C to 70°C (32°F to 158°F), with tighter stabilities available on special order. Extended temperature versions for use from -40°C to 85°C (-40°F to 185°F) are also available.
The new FQ5032 is fully RoHS compliant, offers complete pad compatibility with existing ceramic packages, and is available in two- or four-pad configurations.
Pricing for a 5.0 mm x 3.2 mm FQ5032 crystal with a frequency of 20 MHz is $0.25 each in quantities of 50,000. Delivery is six to eight weeks ARO.
