7S-18.432MAHE-T Crystals, Oscillators, Resonators

Crystals are materials with highly organized internal lattices. When electricity, magnetic fields, light, or sound waves pass through them, crystals vibrate at a specific rate, producing frequencies that are used for a variety of applications. One such crystal is the 7S-18.432MAHE-T, which is often used in timing applications due to its excellent timekeeping precision and stability.The 7S-18. 432MAHE-T consists of an AT-cut quartz crystal enclosed in a thermally enhanced 18-pin ceramic package. Its exact frequencies depend on the thickness of the quartz wafer and may range from 18.432 MHz and 18.4400 MHz. The frequency curve produced by the 7S-18.432MAHE-T is highly linear and stable, making it ideal for timing circuits in applications such as telecommunications, computing, instrumentation and control equipment, digital clocks, and frequency synthesisers.The 7S-18.432MAHE-T is a temperature-compensated crystal oscillator (TCXO), meaning that its frequency stability is not affected by variations in temperature. This is achieved by means of a thermistor mounted inside the package, which provides thermal compensation signals to a galvanometer that adjusts the frequency output in minute increments as the temperature changes.The 7S-18.432MAHE-T is also highly shock resistant, making it particularly well-suited for applications such as avionics, missile guidance systems, and high frequency military communication equipment. Its thin quartz wafer, when combined with the ceramic package, offers superior mechanical strength, allowing the crystal to withstand stress levels of up to 20 Gs.The 7S-18.432MAHE-T is a reliable source of time-keeping precision and stability, making it well-suited to a wide range of timing applications. Its low jitter, excellent temperature compensation and shock resistance make it a prime choice for those who require precise and reliable timing for their projects.
