Industrial MHz Crystal Family — Product Collection (FCX, FSX, HC-49)

Industrial MHz Crystal


FEATURE

A curated product collection for industrial & embedded MHz crystals: compact SMD FCX series, legacy FSX options, and HC-49 metal-can footprints.

Product Description

What this collection is for (selection snapshot)

Industrial control hardware (PLCs, gateways, sensors, drives, embedded compute modules) typically needs a stable MHz reference for MCU/SoC timing, communication clocks, and subsystem synchronization. On this page you can quickly match footprint (e.g., 1.2×1.0mm, 2.0×1.6mm, 3.2×2.5mm, 5.0×3.2mm, 7.0×5.0mm), then narrow by frequency, load capacitance (CL), tolerance / stability, temperature range, and ESR limits required by your oscillator. If you’re migrating a locked legacy PCB, jump to FSX or HC-49 footprints and use the upgrade guidance to move toward FCX where feasible.

Quick filter

Use this as a starting point when migrating legacy footprints. Always confirm mechanical compatibility and electrical requirements (CL/ESR/drive level).

Legacy family / footprint Recommended target When to migrate Notes
FSX-2M
2.5×2.0mm SMD
FCX-2M New boards / re-layout allowed Keep frequency + CL consistent; validate start-up margin after layout.
FSX-2MS
2.0×1.6mm SMD
FCX-2S Space-constrained redesigns More sensitive to layout parasitics; confirm ESR limits for your MCU oscillator.
FSX-3M
3.2×2.5mm SMD
FCX-3M / FCX-3G Mainstream redesigns Use 3225 as a strong default footprint for industrial timing references.
FSX-5M / FSX-5L
5.0×3.2mm SMD
FCX-5M / FCX-5G When you want more margin than 3225 Helpful when oscillator negative resistance margin is tight or for certain compliance requirements.
HC-49US
Through-hole legacy
FCX-9M (HC-49 SMD) Transition to SMD assembly Confirm mechanical fit and assembly constraints; consider moving further to 3225/5032 if re-layout is possible.
UM-1 / UM-5 DIP
DIP legacy
FCX-M1 / FCX-M5 / FCX-4U / FCX-5U Locked through-hole platforms Provide oscillator/MCU details in RFQ to speed matching (ESR/drive level constraints).

Selection & RFQ checklist

Include these details to get a faster match and reduce qualification churn.

What to specify (practical checklist)
  • Frequency (MHz) and allowable frequency offset at your operating conditions.
  • Footprint / package (e.g., 1.2×1.0mm, 2.0×1.6mm, 3.2×2.5mm, 5.0×3.2mm, 7.0×5.0mm, HC-49, UM DIP).
  • Load capacitance (CL) target from the oscillator/MCU datasheet, plus any measured effective load on PCB.
  • ESR limits or the oscillator/MCU part number so we can align ESR grade and start-up margin.
  • Operating temperature range (industrial profiles may require wide temperature operation).
  • Tolerance / stability requirements, and any special aging, shock, or screening needs.
  • Drive level limit (if specified) and application details (industrial control, comms, sensors, etc.).
