Applications & Design Notes
TV / STB mainboard clocks
In cost-sensitive consumer platforms, a stable reference crystal is required to keep demodulation, audio/video timing, and interface clocks within tolerance. ±10 ppm @25°C with industrial temperature coverage helps maintain margin across manufacturing and field conditions.
Home gateway / DSL / cable modem
Networking devices often need a reliable clock that balances mass production stability and BOM cost. Selecting the correct CL (6/10/18 pF) to match your oscillator circuit reduces startup risk and frequency offset.

Ordering Code / Options
To avoid ambiguity in procurement and bring-up, please specify the following items when requesting samples or an RFQ:
- Nominal frequency (within 3.2–64 MHz)
- Load capacitance (CL): 6 pF / 10 pF / 18 pF (or specify)
- Frequency tolerance at 25°C (default: ±10 ppm)
- Stability grade over temperature (e.g., ±50 ppm / ±80 ppm as listed)
- Operating temperature range (e.g., -40 to +85°C or -40 to +105°C)
- Quantity & packaging requirement for production shipment
- Screening / test report needs (if applicable)

FAQ
What is HC-49S package?
HC-49S is a traditional through-hole quartz crystal package with a welded metal enclosure and two leads, commonly used in cost-sensitive and legacy electronics. FCX-9S adopts a resistance-welded HC-49S structure for stable mass production.
Can I request a specific frequency?
Yes. FCX-9S supports a wide range of standard frequencies (3.2–64 MHz) and can be customized. Please contact us with your target frequency, CL and temperature requirements.
Do you provide samples and what is the lead time?
Yes. We can support samples for evaluation. Lead time depends on frequency, CL, temperature grade and order quantity. Contact us with your target specification and quantity for an accurate schedule.
What is the MOQ and is pricing published online?
This is a no-price RFQ product. MOQ and pricing depend on specification, packaging and demand. Please email us or click “Request an RFQ” to receive a quotation.
Can FCX-9S be customized for tolerance, stability, or screening?
Yes. Tolerance, stability grade, operating temperature, packaging and screening options can be discussed for your platform. Share your target specs and reliability requirements (e.g., consumer vs industrial) and we will recommend the most suitable option.
Can you provide packaging details and test reports?
Packaging format and documentation availability depend on the order requirement and specification. If you need a test report, incoming inspection criteria, or compliance statements, include it in your RFQ so we can align documentation with your process.
