The excessive force may crack the glass and reduce the degree of vacuum. This may eventually result in deterioration of the characteristics and may also break the crystal chip (see Figure 3). (2) Unbend the lead by pressing on the bent part from both the upper and lower sides while holding the bottom of lead tightly (see Figure 4). - Bending the lead (1) Bend the lead so that the lead will remain straight for more than 0.5mm from the case when soldering a crystal unit after bending. If not, the glass may be cracked (see Figures 5 and 6). - (2) Always leave a length greater than 2.0mm when bending a lead after soldering (see Figure 7) Soldering directly to the case will reduce the degree of vacuum and may result in deterioration of the characteristics and may break the crystal chip. Make the length from the case to the printed circuit board (L) longer than the case diameter (D) so that the lead wire will not be pulled in case the crystal unit falls over. Revised A: 07/29/2020 Page 3 of 4 www.foxonline.com FKT38 (Former NC38LF) **Tuning Fork Crystal** ## **2) Soldering** The soldering position must be at the lead wire more than 1.0mm away from the glass seal. Excessive heating time at high temperature may result in deterioration of the characteristics and may break the crystal unit. If crystal unit is unavoidably heated, heat the lead part at 300 ℃ or lower for 5 seconds or less and please make sure to keep the case below 150 ℃ . ## **3) Cleaning** Since a small, thin crystal chip is used for tuning fork crystal units and the frequency approximates that of an ultrasonic cleaner, the crystal chip may break easily. Therefore, DO NOT perform ultrasonic cleaning.
